Plans with multiple releases
Hello,
Now if I wanted to track all my tasks for Rel 1, I would need to go to make Sprint A Rel 1 as current sprint. Then the dashboard/reports would popluate for Rel 1. However the team is working on Rel 2, 3, and 4 all at the same time as well.
So I am curious if there is a way to show all.
I'd like to know if I could make multiple releases show up in plans. This is what I'm trying to do; for instance I have 4 Tasks that have different releases. The team is working on all 4 of those releases at the same time. So there would be Sprint A Rel 1, Sprint A Rel 2, Sprint A Rel 3, and Sprint A Rel 4. But they all represent Sprint A.

Let me know if it is not clear. Thanks for any pointers you can provide.

If you set up your timeline like this
timeline
Project
Release1
Iteration1
......
Release2
Iteration1
......
With Project being an iteration (pick a better name), this would allow you to choose Project as the base iteration of the plan and to group per iteration, which would include the releases. There are different plan types and you should look at them.

Hi,
One more question; is there any way for iteration 1 to be the same for multiple releases? Or will I be having: Sprint 1 for Rel1 , Sprint 1 for Rel2, and Sprint 1 for Rel3?
Thanks for your help
I see that I have set up our project similar to Ralph's suggestion, for the same reason ... I can use the Project Backlog Plan to get an overview all items over all releases.
Main project timeline
Project Backlog
Release1
R1I1
R1I2
R1I3
......
Release2
R2I1
......
However, in this set up only a single Release and Iteration can be marked as active.
==> Is there any way to have e.g. R1I3 and R2I1 active at the same time? <==
(These represent the same calendar time but for different releases.)
Thank you
