### Overview Iteration commitments are agreements or promises from team members and stakeholders to do their best to provide the level of commitment and produce the results intended in the iteration plan. Each team member and stakeholder as team peers should be required to sign off against the iteration commitment as an indivisible whole. It is not good enough for an individual to meet their commitments when the team fails to deliver the whole iteration promise. # Entry Criteria Iteration Plan The approved iteration plan. # Sub-Activities
1 | Solicit Commitment | Ask each team member to commit to the iteration plan and the promise of the whole team to deliver the agreed upon requirements. They are making an individual commitment as part of a team of peers. Each team member is jointly responsible for the success of the iteration and delivering on the commitment. It is not always possible to get commitments in a group setting. It may be necessary to schedule time with individuals or to solicit their commitment by e-mail.
2 | Publish Commitment | Publish the team commitments on the project portal. Place the names of all the committed team members against the approved iteration plan.
# Exit Criteria
| Documented evidence from each team member that they agreed to the iteration plan and are committed to its success.
