You can define iteration types in the process configuration.
For each iteration type, you specify a set of permissions and operation
behaviors that can be applied to all iterations of that type.
Before you begin
You must have permission to save the project area.
About this task
During the course of a development project, it is common
practice to apply different permissions and operation behavior at
different stages of the schedule. For example, during the final iterations,
teams typically restrict code changes to only must-fix defects. To
enforce such a restriction, you can create an iteration type and then
modify operation behavior for that iteration type to require that
users have approvals before they deliver changes. All iterations that
are based on that iteration type have the same behavior.
Procedure
- Navigate to the project area in the administrative web
interface. See Logging in for project administrators and team leads (web).
- From within the project area, click Iteration
Types.
- Click
,
the Create a New Iteration Type icon.
- Enter an identifier, name, and brief summary of the iteration
type. The name is the display name, which appears in the user interface.
The identifier appears in the process configuration source.
- Click Save to save your changes
to the project area.
Results
The new iteration type is listed in the Defined
Iteration Types list on the Iteration Types tab. When
you create an iteration, you can select the new iteration type from
the Iteration Types field.
