Team members for a plan in RTC 2.0 ?
In RTC 2.0, I can specify the Team Members for a plan, either according to the Project Area or the Team Area.
I searched the existing help and tried the functionality, however, I do not fully understand the background of this difference. Can anyone help or point me to the right documentation (that I may have missed so far)?
Thanks a lot!

Hello starz,
as far as I understand in RTC 2.0 a plan can be linked to the project (running
on the project timeline). In this case I assume the project members would
be presented on the plan.
Otherwise a plan is always associated to a team. In this case i figure the
by owner view of a plan will always show the members of the team (because
a work item is filed to the team and thus the owner will be out of that team
too).

Right, a plan can either belong to a project or team area. Prior to RTC
2.0 this was limited to team areas only. Supporting project areas allows
for a simpler setup without team areas. Still, note the following when
creating a plan for a project area: The project area must have members
(we don't take members of child team areas into account) and there must
be at least one category (Filed Against option) associated with that
project area. Otherwise, the plan remains empty.
