status of Iteration Planning

3 answers

The iteration plan as such does not have a state. The work item types
that are used for planning should support states that indicate whether
the work items are still being defined or already set in stone.
The 'eclipse way' and the 'open-up' process that we ship out of the box
provide 'Plan Item' and 'Story' work item types. Plan items are usually
used for release plan, and stories for iteration plan. Plan items
provide the states 'new' and 'proposed'. Stories provide the 'idea' state.

Does Iteration Planning has a status in m5/m6 ?

In addition what Kai outlined you can do the following to "approve a plan":
- track the approval on the Overview page or a separate attached page
textually
- link a work item to the plan, which manage the approvals. This is how
TeamConcert manage approvals for builds as well. Then link in the
overview page to the approval work item using Ctrl+L to insert a work
item link. We are looking into ways to make the linking with a Review
work item more easy.
