Configuration for a Portfolio plan to calculate one team per Epic?

Jessica Riga

A Portoflio plan I am working on is calculating multiple team assignments for every project. This is new behavior I haven't seen before, and isn't a realistic way for us to execute.

How can I configure the plan to only calculate one assigned team to each project?

Hi Jessica, there is no static configuration for this (nothing like "assign only 1 team max. for epics"), but what we see very commonly is the use of "preferred teams" for a release stream. you could group each logical project into a release stream (in the releases section), and in there you can set a preferred team for an entire workstream. in this case only this preferred team will get automatically assigned, rather than multiple teams. 

The alternative is to use manual team assignments and assign the epic to exactly one team in the backlog table.
