In the XpFixedPlanningGame, a period distinguished by:
- An abbreviated inception/elaboration phase with a week or two of planning/negotiation of UserStories in FixTimeVaryScope mode so as to fit the scheduled BusinessStories.
- A construction phase consisting of Four XP iterations.
- A transition phase consisting of a few days of deployment and recriminations :-)
All up this takes about a quarter of a year ... which is handy ...
