Question

I am trying to implement a single Team Project with multiple sub-projects as recommended by this guy and this guy. But I have hit a snag. VS Team Services does not allow iterations to have overlapping start and completion dates. Is there some way around this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Iterations are a hierarchy. Within a single team you wouldn't have overlapping iteration dates, but if you have multiple teams within a team project you can model it as a hierarchy of iterations. Something like so:

Team A 
  Sprint 1 
  Sprint 2 
  Sprint 3 
Team B 
  Sprint 1 
  Sprint 2 
  Sprint 3

Then in the team settings you just have to make sure to only associate each team to the iterations for that team. So long as no iterations assigned to a specific team overlap you should be OK.
