Configuring Plans

[Erin Nardone]

I have set up a plan, linked 4 projects and created 4 plan-specific Teams. There are dozens of work items under each project. I have the following settings in place.

Estimation: Days

Inferred Dates: Release Dates

Dependencies: Concurrent

However, when I view the Summary, I only see 9 issues. Why is it not pulling in all of the work items from the four projects I have linked as work item sources?

Thanks!

Erin

Hi @Erin Nardone and welcome to the Community!

That is hard to tell without any more details. But are there completed work items in your projects?

The most common reason why items don't appear in a plan, is because completed work is hidden from view some time after they were completed. The idea of a plan is to focus on work that is still to be done.

Other reasons might be the hierarchy that is being displayed or other applied filters in the view(s).

Hope this helps!

Hi @Walter Buggenhout! Thanks for the quick response. I can see all of the work items in the timeline view. There are some that are complete, but there are dozens in the backlog, in progress, etc. I can't figure out how to include those in the Summary view!
