How to best setup a multi country rollout project in RTC?
Hi
I am trying to setup and manage a multi-country rollout project in RTC. I have a project area for the development of a tool working just fine, but now I want to manage the rollout of that tool as well, hence more traditional planning excersize. Every country will go through the same rollout, the generic plan foresees 3 phases to go through.
Now, does the following work/make sense?
a) I set up another PROJECT AREA for the rollout project.
b) I set up a TEAM AREA for each country
c) I create a unique TIMELINE per TEAM AREA (hence the specific country rollout)
d) Each of those timelines will get three ITERATIONS, one per phase, into which I create the TASK from the PLAN.
Doing it that way, can I then:
1) Create a combined PLAN for all ITERATIONS in all countries (i.e. all TEAM AREAS) - so far I have only been able to create a plan for a specific iteration?
2) Query ITEMS from the complete PROJECT AREA and get the TEAM AREA back as a column of the result - so far I have not been able to find such a field in the columns?
3) Link ITEMS from the other development project into items of the rollout project?
Hope I can get some thoughts on that here!
Kind regards
Franca
One answer
- No, plans can only show information from one iteration (including information in sub iterations).
- There is an attribute that shows the owning team area based on the category.
- There are many different link types available that you can use. Some work only within a repository, some work even across repositories.
Maybe see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/SetupProjects and https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/RTCProcessFundamentals for some general considerations.
