The task of creating the first Iteration Plan brings us to a noteworthy issue in iterative development, illustrated in Figure 36.3.

As indicated in the last section, not all scenarios of Process Sale will be implemented in the first iteration. Indeed, this complex use case may take many two-week iterations over a six-month period to complete. Each iteration will tackle new scenarios or parts of scenarios.

When fulfilling all the scenarios of a use case in one iteration is not possible, there arises a problem in requirements tracking.
