Before beginning work on a plan, define the timelines, iterations, team areas, and work item categories for your project. If you do not have team areas, you can create a plan for a project area.
The following figure outlines the relationship of how categories, team areas, and iteration schedules help assign work items to the appropriate team and plan. With these relationships, team members can view and manage work items for all iterations within their corresponding plans. The steps for creating and using a plan are presented in the topics in this section of the help.
