Tracking Impediments and creating an Impediment Plan in RTC
In RTC, I have tweaked the Impediment work item type to better track the what, who, and whens of what is blocking the team's progress.
What I would like to do is create a Plan so that I can better manage the impediments, increase the visibility, and create a more concise view for the team and for management. Since Impediments are not necessarily tied to a particular release or iteration, I would like to make that restriction optional.
Is this even possible in RTC? We are on 4.0.1

One answer
A Plan in RTC is a set of work items assigned to a particular team/project area (or to a team area that is a child of that team/project area) for a particular iteration (or for an iteration that is a child of the specified iteration). So in order to have a Plan of impediments, the impediments must be tied to an iteration. If you didn't assign an impediment to an iteration, what would determine whether or not a given impediment would appear in the plan?
