~-<<Action(edit)>>-~

The iteration life cycle processes are split into three parts: the [[#DItPreparation|Preparation of the Iteration]], the [[#DItIteration|the Iteration itself]] and the [[#DItFollowUp|the Follow-Up of the Iteration]]. The preparation and the follow-up can overlap with other iterations, while the iteration itself cannot overlap with other iterations.

Each part is presented in diagramatical form where squares denotes processes (main processes are denoted by double square) and the responsible role is indicated with a small drawing. The diagrams are accompanied with a table with links to the referred processes and roles.

<<Anchor(DItPreparation)>>
'''Iteration Preparation'''<<BR>>
Iteration preparation aims at defining and document contents as well as ensuring a common understanding.

The iteration itself consist of implementation of panned activities along with continously evaluation of new tracker issues.

'''Iteration Follow-Up'''<<BR>>
Follow-up consist of installation and review which are parallel independent processes.
