One thing I noticed is that I can know what is going on across projects.

The core of this plan is the new link type "tracks/contributes to". This link type allows to link WI over Jazz Repositories and not only within one CCM instance.

The current implementation only gives a rolled up schedule by using the planned snapshots in the other plan containing the workitem that is being tracked.

And my Defect (see also the attachment)

I'm do not use this snapshot and GANTT chart functionality and I'm working within one repository, thats why I prefer the "Resolves/Resloved By" link type. It has more fuctionality yet for my use cases.
