You can plan requirements and elements for different releases.
When you plan, the releases are optimized to provide the highest values
possible in early releases that are based on your prioritization.
A plan includes modules and the interactions between the modules.
For example, consider three modules:
- Release: A time frame that has a start and end date and
during which requirements are met
- Resource: A member or a group of members who implement
the requirements during a release
- Skill: Knowledge needed to implement a requirement
The following image shows the interaction between the modules:

Arrow 1: You assign skills to the resources by editing a member's
Skill attribute. This attribute is a link to Resource Types. Members
can have any number of skills.
Arrow 2: You assign the skills required to implement the requirements
by setting the Skill attribute in the requirement module.
Arrows 3 and 4: The elements are assigned to resources and are
allocated to releases to optimize the value of each release.
