Are there any limits on number of work items a plan can contain ?
![]()
I have heard that a plan can contain only 2048 work items and after that RTC would display error messages. Does this hold true for RTC release 4.0 ? Please advise.

![]() That's not true. We have larger plans up to 5000 workitems. We use them not for daily work, because they need some time to load, but for Release Planning and Reporting we need them because of the aggregated progress bars etc.. Problem you may get are Browser, network and client-power (memory/CPU) depending. Don't try to use such a plan with Internet Explorer 8 or older. IE9 and 10 are working. Best is FF10ESR or Chrome. This is because of the heavly usage of Javascript (AJAX) technology. IE 8 is very slow for this. If you are in a network with latency to the server of more than 120ms you may also have a problem. There is a dashboard widget to test your network connectivity end to end to the applicationserver. |

Hi Anuradha,
as mentioned by Guido, you'd need to consider the time it's going to take to display a plan with 2000+ work-items. Adding to this that you could also question how practical it would be for a human being to face such amount of work-items for day-to-day work. I'd advise you to have a read at this enlightening post. If you click on the enclosed (PDF) Jazz Performance Guide link, you'll find a "Showing Plans" section which gives good insight of both what the technical aspects are and also some recommendations for having plans not taking too much time to display. Regards, Stéphane Comments @Anuradha: to precise things.
