Just starting to do agile planning with the web gui in RTC. Have added
some parent stories and child tasks into the project backlog but can't
seem to get a view of them represented as parent and child. They
aern't assigned to team members or iterations yet - is this possible?
Probably really obvious but can't find it in the documentation :roll:

Cheers.

Thanks - I notice the relationship is there when I move them into the
iteration backlog so it must be ok but I can't see the task at all in
the product backlog despite turning off the execution items filter
and switching to work breakdown.

I am trying to create a plan to display all of my high level plan items, as well as all of their child execution items that are part of individual sprints within the release, and maintain the parent/child relationships.

According to http://jazz.net/library/article/203 , the type of plan that I need to create such a view is a Team Release Plan.

"Team Backlog (Team Release Plan): Includes all plan items and backlog execution items for a single team across all iterations of a release. It is used to plan and track the work in a higher level, but for a single team only."

I created one of these and I associated it with my team area, and my release backlog. However, when looking at it, I still only see the items that have a planned for value of my release backlog. Any items I add to iterations within the release are no longer visible.

Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the Team Release Plan?

Thanks,
Chris

In order to get the plan to work correctly, I had to update my Process Configuration and all of my work items types as "Top Level Work Item Types". I don't think I should have needed to do that, because the plan type description indicates that both Plan Items (top level) and execution items (non-top level) should show up, for the release or any iteration within it. Should I open a defect for this? Thanks.
