How load is calculated at a plan
Hi,
I am trying to understand how load is calculated at plan:
Process template: Scrum
The setup is:
- A project area with scrum template
- 2 teams in this project area
- 1 iteration, sprint1 which covers only a single day.
- 1 user declared on both teams: he works at 50% for the first team and 0% for the second team.
Use case 1:
- plan with owner "project area" and iteration "sprint1" => the global load is 8 hours available
Use case 2:
- plan with owner "team1" and iteration "sprint1" => the gloabel load is 4 hours
- plan with owner "team2" and iteration "sprint1" => the gloabel load is 0 hours
We don't understand why the global load is 8 hours in the use case1 while the user work only 4h.
If you remove the user from the team2 where he works at 0%, the global load will be 4h.
Can you kindly explain?
-Thanks-Samar

Please see in the library: Progress Bars, Load Bars, and the importance of estimating your work in Rational Team Concert.

You might also want to check with An Overview of Project Fundamentals in Rational Team Concert 3.0 to understand the fundamental data that is used.
In your example above, check membership of users in e.g. the project area.
