In the Initiate Iteration activity the project manager allocates the staff and non-personnel resources of the project to each of the work packages that will be completed this iteration, as defined in the current Iteration Plan.
Assign Staff to Work Packages 
For each work package, the project manager assigns staff with appropriate skills to carry out the work. Remember to follow sound project management practice and balance the overall workload for each individual assigned.
Acquire & Assign
Non-Personnel Resources
Some work packages will require the use on specialized non--personnel resources (e.e. dedicated CPU time on a mainframe, use of specialized testing hardware). For each of these work packages, the project manager should secure the availability of the necessary resources and establish a schedule for their usage
Issue Work Orders
Once the staff and other resources have been allocated to the work packages
for the current iteration, the project manager documents these assignments in a
series of work orders. The work orders are then issued to the project team for
execution.
