The Iterative SDPM strategy for the Rational Unified Process is a chain of iterations so that each iteration includes the entire project life cycle. Launching is therefore repeated at each new iteration. In some cases, establishing the rules of the engagement may be trivial and nothing more than a validation of the rules of the engagement as defined in the previous iteration. This will happen with teams that are experienced working with one another. In other cases, launching may be a bit more formal. Such would be the case with a team that is new or a team whose members may have changed since the last iteration. New teams can learn from the previous iteration how to improve the rules of the engagement. In other words, they can iterate on how best to conduct the business of the team.
