A common question around iteration planning is what should be included. All tasks necessary to go from a user story to a functioning, finished product should be identified. If there are analysis, design, user interaction design, or other tasks necessary, they need to be identified and estimated. Because the goal of each iteration is to produce a potentially shippable product, take care to include tasks for testing and documenting the product. Including test tasks is important because the team needs to think right at the start of the iteration about how a user story will be tested.
