How can RTC Plans be used for Traditional Projects?

Hello,
I am working with RTC 4.0.0.1 and I was wondering how plans can be used for traditional projects. When I create a plan, I have the option of creating a Product, Release, or Sprint Backlog, or a Cross Project Plan, which are aimed at Agile development.
Which of these plan types would be best adapted for a traditional project, and how would it be used? For example, if I have an iteration in my timeline dedicated to the coding phase of a release, what plan type would I use, and which work items would I assign to it? Product backlog?
Are there any case studies on this subject?
Regards,
Andrew
