Explanation
Iteration planning (B) is when teams select specific stories from the backlog and commit to delivering them within the upcoming sprint/iteration. It's at this point that the team has enough context and proximity to the work to meaningfully assess each story's risks, dependencies, and unknowns in detail.
- A (Project planning) is too early and too high-level - it addresses overall project risk (budget, timeline, scope), not individual story risk.
- C (Release planning) identifies which stories go into a release but doesn't yet examine them at the granular level needed for detailed risk analysis.
- D (Epic planning) focuses on breaking epics into features and stories - it's still too abstract to conduct story-level risk analysis.
Memory tip: Think of risk analysis as scaling with specificity. The more specific the work item (Epic → Feature → Story → Task), the more specific the planning ceremony where it gets scrutinized. Stories live at the iteration level, so detailed story risk analysis belongs in iteration planning.
