Scrum -> Sprint Backlog and tasks
Hello all,
I am still new on learning RTC. I have created a project, and I am using: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/08/0701_ellingsworth/ to try and setup a Scrum pilot group. I have "hopefully" been able to work around the differences with 1.x and 2.x, but I am at a part where I created the Sprint Backlog (with stories) and I need to add the task. On the above link, it discusses adding the tasks, and hitting tab to make them a part of the story. I can't do that in 2.x, I add a task, and hitting the tab does nothing. How do I associate the tasks with the stories on the Sprint Backlog? thanks... |

In RTC 2.0, the backlog is a flat list of work items. That is why the parent-child relationship is not outlined.
Use the Work Breakdown view mode to breakdown your stories into tasks. In RTC2, we greatly enhanced Scrum support, therefore parts of the document you mentioned can not be applied anymore.

Thanks!!
This was very helpful!!!! I am now trying to massage the data that was already entered from a previous tutorial. I was following a tutorial and trying to create a project "side-by-side". The tutorial that I followed recommended that I create groups/categories. So basically, you create a task, assign a category, and then your choice list is limited to the matching group that was created and their members. Ex. Category/group = WebUI Category/group = Client While this seemed great, I see that there is a Backlog category. Do I keep this? Also, when I went to fill in the user's Resource time, it seems to have taken the project and category field into the area. So the Project is named Helpdesk Application and I have to divide the resource availability as follows: instead of just one project Helpdesk Application 80% It lists the categories and projects Helpdesk Application 50% WebUI 50% What did I do wrong? In RTC 2.0, the backlog is a flat list of work items. That is why the parent-child relationship is not outlined. |

You could keep the generic "backlog" category if you wanted some default
category to use for things that don't fit in any more specific category. But in your case, I'd probably suggest archiving it, until you find you have a need for it. When you say "user's Resource time", do you mean the "Work Assignments" panel in the Work Environment page of the User editor? If so, the number of sections is based on the team areas that a given user is a member of (and the time lines in the project areas that a given user is a member of), not the number of categories (you may have named a team area or project area the same as one of your categories, which might be confusing things).
