Assigning Projects and Waves to Releases

First you assign the project as a whole to a release. Then you can assign the waves of the project to specific release numbers of the same release.

Context

When you assign a release to your project, you determine the following:

You link the project to a release component, that means, the systems and applications of a solution that are part of a release.
The release that you assign to the project is used as a default release for all project tasks that are not assigned to a wave.
The release automatically links the project to a solution, a branch, and a change cycle.

When you have assigned the project to a release and thereby a release component, you can assign the waves of the project to specific release numbers.

To open the project view, choose the project name on the landing page of Project Management - Focused Build Projects.
To open the Details pane, in the tree view, choose the project name (the header of the tree view) and then choose the Details button.
To switch to edit mode, choose the edit icon in the toolbar.
In the Details pane, under Actual Release, open the value help for the Component field.
