If you are following an Agile or iterative development
model, you must create the expected schedule for the iteration by
specifying the expected dates and duration. The iteration dates and
duration are not rolled up from the work items that are assigned to
the iteration. The planned dates and duration are the same as the
expected dates and the duration, and are not rolled up from the planned
schedule of the work items assigned to the iteration. You can continue
to edit the expected schedule for an iteration at any time, even after
a planned schedule with assignments is created.
Before you begin
Use the Schedule Gantt viewlet to perform
this task. In the navigation bar, click Work,
and click the Schedule tab.
Before
you specify the iteration schedule, create the iterations for the
project.
About this task
Important: The expected schedule and planned
schedule for an iteration is determined by the dates and duration
that you specify. However, the expected and planned effort for the
iteration is rolled up from the expected and planned effort of the
work items planned for the iteration.
To manage
the iteration schedule:
Procedure
- In the WBS tree, select the iteration.
- In the Schedule grid, enter any two of the following values:
- Click Save.
What to do next
You can now assign work items to the iteration. For more
information about assigning work items to iterations, see
