Predefined work items: Defining iterations and iteration plans
To define the iterations and iteration plans, do the following steps:
| Open the work item Define Iterations and select Start Working. Save it.
|
In the Project Area editor, Overview tab, look at the Process Iterations:
|
|
Set dates for the iterations defined in the four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition by selecting Edit Properties (Figure | 9-11).
|
|
Here you could create additional development lines (for example, one for maintenance) and remove or add iterations.
|
|
| In the Work Item editor for Define Iterations, select Resolve, and Fixed.
|
|
| Open the work item Define an iteration plan and select Start Working. Following the description, perform these steps:
|
|
Select the Plans node under the Project Area in the Team Artifacts view.
|
|
Right-click Inception Iteration I1.
|
|
Select New Æ Iteration Plan.
|
|
Name the iteration plan InceptionIterationPlan.
|
|
In the editor that opens, in the Planned Items tab, you can see the folders Top Items and Defects and Enhancements.
|
|
Drag and drop all the predefined work items from the Work Item View onto the Top Items folder. This assigns the work items to the current iteration.
|
|
| In the Work Item editor for Define an Iteration plan, select Resolved and Fixed.
