A Bamboo plan (or build plan) is the "recipe" for a build.
A plan defines: what gets built (i.e. the source-code repository); how the build is triggered; which builder to use; which agent capabilities are required for the build ; what artifacts the build will produce; what tests to run; who will be notified of the build result; any labels with which the build result or build artifacts will be tagged; and who has permission to view and perform various actions on a plan and its build results.
Every plan belongs to a project.
A project enables easy identification of plans that are logically related to each other, which is useful for instance when generating reports across multiple plans.
Each project has a Name (e.g. "CRM System") and a Key (e.g. "CRM"). The Project Key is prefixed to the relevant Plan Keys, e.g. the "CRM" project could have plans "CRM-TRUNK" and "CRM-BRANCH".
Every Bamboo plan is listed on the Dashboard, from where you can:
- Click on a Plan Name to view the plan details
- Click on a Build Number to view the plan's latest build result
Projects and plans can only be configured by Bamboo administrators. Please see the Bamboo Administrator's Guide for details.
