Suggestion for Project Management setup
I'm totally new to RTC, so bare with me please. I am a Project Manager tasked with executing POC type project. Behind me is a whole App Dev team that will be using RTC for Product Dev and Life cycle management.
Basically, I need to get up quickly and can integrate back to the App Dev team in the future. Here is my scenario. I have say 50 POC projects (short 2-4 week efforts. All POC will be similar (i.e. 95%) from a Project milestone perspective (i.e. Assessment, App Install, Intergation Dev, UAT, Delivery, etc.). The executing activities under each Project Milestone will also be similar, however the efforts could vary signifcantly.
I was wondering if I could create a Project Area named "POC" and then a Plan called "Standard POC 1.0" and then use the iterations to represent each actual POC (named based on client). The Work Items would be the variable task efforts.
Does this make sense or am I going about this wrong in the RTC world?

One answer
If you don't need a separate plan for each POC, then the simplest
approach is probably to just create a new work item type called "POC".
