How can I create a Sprint Kanban Board plan in a Project Area migrated from an older version of RTC?
I have upgraded RTC from 3.x to 4.x, and now to 5.0.2. The Sprint Kanban Board plan type is not part of the Scrum process template prior to 5.0.2, and cannot be added through the UI via Eclipse or the web client. Redeploying the predefined process templates allows for new Scrum PAs to use the plan type, but my PA created in 3.x does not have this feature.
One answer
I added the following sections from the 5.0.2 process to my process specification .xml file and this works as expected:
