Iterations without a release being scheduled
I am struggling with understanding the option "A release is scheduled for this iteration" that I have when I create a new iteration.
I understand that, if I don't select it, I can't create an iteration plan for it. This makes me wonder why I would EVER want an iteration without an iteration plan, unless the purpose was to provide a way to skip higher level iterations (e.g. a Release level that has Sprints beneath it). The fact that the option is called "A release is scheduled for this iteration" is probably where I am confused... it makes me think there is more to this option than I am thinking. Is it equivalent to think this just means "I want an iteration plan with this iteration"? |

Yes, one of the purposes of setting this bit is whether or not you want
an iteration plan for this iteration. Another purpose is controlling whether or not that iteration is one of the choices when you set the "planned for" property of a workitem. Cheers, Geoff marenn wrote: I am struggling with understanding the option "A release is |
The fact that the option is called "A release is scheduled for In addition, this option is useful when creating "technical" sub-iterations, such as "development" and "end-game". While it's not desired to plan a work item for an iteration's end-game, it is often required to create such sub iterations in order to adopt the process to the different stages of an iteration. -- MikeS Jazz Agile Planning team |
