Activities to be completed in Day 1:
Determine major components
Define iterations and assign functional area
to an iteration
Determine team members and
responsibilities

Planning the Overall Project and

the Project Iterations
1st step: Division of systems to several
subsystems
Major Subsystems
Supplier Information Subsystems
manufacturers or wholesalers
Product Information Subsystems various
products

2nd step: Sorting developments of

subsystems

Planning the First Iteration

Planning process of an iteration
Identifying the tasks required
Word Breakdown Structure

Organizing and sequencing tasks to schedules

Identifying required resources

Benefits of a work sequence

Helps for time management
Keeping the iteration on track
Gives an overview for the project leader

 Fact Finding and User Involvement

Identify key users

Identifying Use Cases

Documents a single user-triggered business
event and systems response to the event

Identifying Object Classes

Looks for objects or things that the system uses
or captures
Class Diagrams powerful and frequently used
way to understand information requirement
