To get the combined workload of all of your teams across multiple
iterations, you would create a plan of type "product plan".
To get the combined workload of a given team across multiple iterations,
you would create a plan of type "team plan".
To get the workload of a given team for a given iterations, you would
create a plan of type "iteration plan".

But note that product and team plans only show work items whose types
are declared to be "plan items" (commonly higher level types like
"stories" and "epochs"). Only the iteration plan will show you all work
items (i.e. both plan items and execution items).

We are a global team and need to manage our workload both globally and
regionally.

How can we configure the iteration plans to allow us to view the
combined workload of our regional teams in one overall plan, as well
as having regional plans?

Have tried setting up parent-child team relationships and selection
the "Teams" gouping but this does not pick up the child
teams separately or in aggregate. Nor do project area plans pick up
the work items allocated ot team areas.

Ideally we wish to simply allocate work to a person and the planning
tool to recognise which is that person's team, and have this at child
(task) level. The parent Story/Epic type planning would only be
relevent at the global level
