====Adding stories to an iteration in progress==== In agile software development, ''stories'' (similar to [[use case]] descriptions) are typically used to define requirements and an ''iteration'' is a short period of time during which the team commits to specific goals.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Rouse|first1=Margaret|title=Sprint (software development) definition|url=http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/definition/Scrum-sprint|website=searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com|access-date=2 October 2015}}</ref> Adding stories to an iteration in progress is detrimental to a good flow of work. These should be added to the product backlog and prioritized for a subsequent iteration or in rare cases the iteration could be cancelled.<ref name="axisagile.com.au">{{cite web|last1=Goldstein|first1=Ilan|title=Sprint issues β when sprints turn into crawls|url=http://www.axisagile.com.au/blog/planning-and-metrics/sprint-issues-when-sprints-turn-into-crawls/|website=www.axisagile.com.au|access-date=2014-06-08|date=11 October 2011}}</ref> This does not mean that a story cannot expand. Teams must deal with new information, which may produce additional tasks for a story. If the new information prevents the story from being completed during the iteration, then it should be carried over to a subsequent iteration. However, it should be prioritized against all remaining stories, as the new information may have changed the story's original priority.
