1. Post Project Initialization Task
A task entitled Post Project Initialization is created when the project area is created. You can
use this task to track your progress configuring the program and team areas.
|
You can find a link to the post project initialization task on the program dashboard.
See Accessing project and team dashboards.

2. Add members to the project and assign appropriate process
roles
After you create the project area, scroll to the Members section and assign process
roles to members to ensure that they have the permissions required to work on project area artifacts.
As a minimum, someone should be assigned to the Release Train Engineer role.

5. (Optional) Create and Assign Work Items for the "Program
Initiation"
Now that you have a project area defined, you can create and assign work items.
Use the Program Initiation work item template to create standard work items for the start of a program.

8. Define project timelines
When the project area was created, a default timeline was created.
Update the start and end dates for the first release to be correct for your project.
Add additional Iterations for each Program Increment to the timeline as needed for the first
release.
Update the start and end dates of each Iteration to match your preferred Program Increment
duration.
It is good practice to avoid any gaps between start and end of a timeline. If gaps should exist and
work items are completed during such a gap, the burndown charts would not be able to catch this and
would thus be broken.
By default, there will not be gaps, because iterations will start at 12.00 AM and end at 11.59 PM.
