Iteration Planning – ISTQB Definition
Last Updated: July 12, 2026 · SoftwareTestPilot QA Team
Official ISTQB Definition
The activity by which the team selects a subset of the product backlog and plans how to deliver a working increment at the end of the iteration.
In simple words
Same idea as sprint planning — pick items and plan how to build them for one iteration.
Exam tip
Iteration is the framework-agnostic word for a sprint.
