Create and populate all the planning folders you need to capture the work you are planning.
A planning folder is a way to organize work into feasible chunks and monitor its
progress. When you've thought about the general categories the work falls into, you can
to set up planning folders that reflect those ideas.
A planning folder can represent:
- A set of tasks, such as Iteration 3, or "Initial infrastructure development."
- A period of time, such as "April," or "Q2-2010."
- A phase of development, such as "Testing" or "Deployment."
- A component of the product, such as "Chapter 12" or "Rear stabilizer."
Tip: It often makes sense to set up planning folders after you
have outlined and analyzed the features you plan to deliver. See Define the scope of your project.
When you've set up your planning folders, you have three views
available to work with them:
- LIST: The list view.
- PLAN: The planning board view.
- TRACK: The task board view.
