The Planning view helps you create and structure items in a hierarchy. The hierarchy is often decided upon by how the team and product is structured.
The sprints can be customized with different columns that cover a large spectrum of Agile needs. See Configuring project columns.
- To easily add items in Planning view, click the item type to add in the toolbar or right-click an item in the tree view and choose New sub project, New sprint item, New scheduled task, or New release. You must have permissions to add the item types.
- To move an item to a sprint, drag it to the sprint. You can also right-click it, click Move to sprint, and then choose the sprint. You can also use the Committed to column to change the sprint an item is committed to. The item moves to the top of the selected sprint.
- If the item is assigned to a user who is not a member of the sprint, the Update user assignment/allocation dialog box opens. Select an option to add the user to the sprint (only available if you have permission to add users to the sprint), remove the user from the assignment, or keep the user assigned to the item even though they are not a member of the sprint. Click OK.
- To change the sub project path depth, click Show, click Sub project path depth, and choose a depth. This is useful when an item is displayed out of context. The item path is prepended to the item name at the selected depth.
