Iteration 1: Planning Game

As mentioned in the introduction, this blog will be managed as an XP project.

I will not use the technical practices (I am not coding here!), but will try and stick to the management practices (writing stories, acceptance criteria, tasks, having planning games, stand ups - ie: this page is now my startup page on my browser - retrospectives, releases). By this, I want to check/demonstrate that these practices can be used to deliver a wide variety of outcomes.
