Can you create custom Iteration Types and Plan Types via an RTC Process Template?
Is there a way to create custom plan types or iteration types in RTC?
I am trying to create a customized RTC project based on the Traditional Project. This if for a non-software development project and I would like to have something other than 'Product Release Plan' or 'Phase Plan'. The intent is to have 3 layers of planning, something like 'Annual Road-Map' which would have high level goals for the year, a 'Quarterly Plan' with planned activities that would satisfy the goals, and then a Monthly Plan which would have the planned tasks items. For iteration types I would just have Year, Quarter and Month.... Anyone have any ideas on how I could do this? I am using RTC 3.0.1.2, but we will be upgrading to 4.0 soon. Any ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Rob |

You can create the appropriate timelines and iteration and then create plans accordingly.
To create timelines and iterations, follow this help: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/index.jsp To create plans: In Eclipse UI, right click Plans under Team Artifacts (Work Items perspective) and New -> Plan... Fill in the required data (i.e. Name, Owner, Iteration). -- Gabriel Enriquez, IBM Rational, Tracking & Planning |
Thanks Gabriel, I truly appreciate the response!
But I am not having a problem configuring the out-of-the-box processes (i.e. formal project or scrum templates) or creating plans, timelines/iterations using those templates. I am trying to create my own template with the 'types' I mention above so they are available as choices when I configure my project. Does that make sense?
Thanks again!

First, a few reminders:
- Remember to phrase the title of your question in the form of a question. - Remember to add a comment in the form of a "comment", not an "answer". - Remember that you can edit your original question, to clarify what you wanted to ask. WRT this question: If you want to create your own template, you would create your own process template. You can either modify a process area to have the desired characteristics before creating the process template from it, or directly edit the process template after creating it (or both). |
Can you create custom iteration types or plan types via an RTC Process Template?
Process Configuration-->Configuration Data-->Planning-->Plan Types
Note: For Process Templates, this configuration aspect can only be edited on the Process Configuration Source page.
Team Configuration-->Iteration Types
Note: Iteration Types must first be defined while editing the properties of an Iteration of the Timelines view of the Overview Tab. |
