Approved iterations
The term “approved iterations” in the exam content outline is related to iteration (or sprint) reviews. At the end of each iteration, the team holds a review meeting with the stakeholders to demonstrate the new increment built in the iteration. If the product owner is satisfied that the increment has met the iteration goal—the items selected from the backlog for that iteration—then they will“approve” that iteration.
When working in an outsourced environment, approved iterations can be used to control the release of incremental funding payments to a vendor. For example, “Since the work for this iteration has been approved, here’s your payment for this portion of the project.”
