Creating Focused Build Projects

Context

You can create projects on the landing page of the Project Management - Focused Build Projects application. To create a project, you have three options:

  • By template

    You select a Focused Build project template that is suitable for the project type. A project template contains a basic project structure of phases, waves, sprints, and milestones. For more information about Focused Build project templates, see Project Templates and Project Types

  • By user input

    You can create projects on the fly by providing the most important input data, such as project type, start date, number of waves / sprints, and project language. Moreover, the detailed schedule can be maintained manually.

  • By using the Easy Project Setup

    With this wizard, you can create a synchronized schedule that has the same duration and timing for all waves, sprints, and related Q-gates or milestones, choose Easy Project Setup. For more information, see Easy Project Setup.

If you want to create a project with an individual schedule - either by using a template or by providing your own input, follow the steps described below.

  1. On the landing page of Project Management - Focused Build Projects, in the tool bar, choose Create Project.
  2. Choose Create Project By Template or Create Project by User Input.
  3. Enter the project details.
  4. Choose Create.

Results

On the landing page, you can use the filters in the filter bar to find the newly created project. By choosing the project ID or project name you can open the project view.

Next Steps

  • Assign a release to the project.

    For more information, see Assigning Projects and Waves to Releases.

  • Release the project.

    To release the project, change the status of the project in the Details pane.

    Only when the project is released, it is visible in the Solution Readiness Dashboard and you can assign work packages to the project. You can also lock, complete, or cancel the project.

  • Assign the work packages to the waves of the project. To assign work packages, you use the Work Package Management application. For more information, see Defining Work Package Details.

  • Adapt the project structure by adding waves or sprints to an existing project or by deleting them. For more information, see Adjusting the Project Structure for Waves and Sprints.
