Levels of Adoption

For method authors

This practice is based on the Iterative Development practice and introduces the concept of multiple teams working on a iterative development manner. There are two levels of iteration plans: one at the project leadership team level, and one at the sub-teams level. The artifacts and tasks have been renamed from the original Iterative Development practice to make a distinction between "Project Level" and "Team Level" elements. 

The selection of this practice in any configuration requires that Iterative Development practice also be selected.
