Adjusting the Project Structure for Waves and Sprints

The project template defines the project structure with phases, waves, and sprints. You can adjust this structure by adding or deleting waves and sprints. You can adjust the project structure as follows:

Creating waves and sprints from scratch to be added to an existing project. For more information, see Creating Waves and Sprints to be Added to the Project Structure.
Copying existing waves and sprints to the project structure. For more information, see Copying Waves and Sprints to the Project Structure.
Deleting waves and sprints. For more information, see Deleting Waves and Sprints from the Project Structure.

Note

For the Realize phase, it is important to keep the default structure and only add new waves, sprints, or add common tasks at any existing structure level. Manually modifying the structure could impact the general Focused Build integration scenario Requirements-to-Deploy. For reference, the default structure with project element types:

Level 1: Project
Level 2: Phase Type - Sprint Planning
Level 3: Task Type - Quality Gate (Phase Q-Gate)
Level 3: Task Type - Wave
Level 4: Task Type - Scope Definition
Level 4: Task Type - Quality Gate (Wave Q-Gate)
Level 5: Task Type - Summary Task for Work Packages
Level 5: Task Type - Milestone (for Wave)
Level 5: Task Type - Sprint Execution
Level 6: Task Type - Summary Task for Work Items
Level 6: Task Type - Milestone (for Sprint)
