common categories / cross teamarea categories
Is there a way to have a couple of categories linked to more than one team area (WITHOUT loosing the ability to link a workitem to a certain team)?
Let's say we have teamA working on cobol-sources, teamB working on java-sources and teamC working on planning. We would like to have frontend/backend categories of workitems for all teams (without the need of creating each of those categories three times). |

Categories span a tree. A category can always only map to one process area. So my naive answer is no. You have the following choices:
root/frontend/cobol root/frontend/java root/frontend/planning root/backend/cobol root/backend/java root/backend/planning or root/cobol/frontend root/cobol/backend root/java/frontend root/java/backend root/planning/frontend root/planning/backend for all I can tell. Comments Then I don't understand the added value of workitem categories, besides the fact you can link another name with a teamarea.
You an only assign work items using categories, so it is the other way around, really.

In particular, it allows you to have a stable set of categories, while teams are being added, being removed, or changing what parts of the product they are responsible for.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

Are the frontend/backend categories parallel to or under the existing three categories? You probably already have the answer when you make this clear.
