Bamboo 3.4 : Deleting a Stage

The instructions on this page describe how to delete a Stage in a Plan.

Stages group (or 'map') Jobs to individual steps within an entire Plan's build process. For example, you may have an overall Plan build process that comprises a compilation step, followed by several test steps, followed by a deployment step. You can create separate Bamboo Stages to represent each of these steps. Stages have the following characteristics:

  • A Stage may contain one or more Jobs;
  • Depending on the availability of Bamboo agents, all Jobs in a Stage can be processed in parallel;
  • Stages are processed consecutively within a Plan, one at a time;
  • All Jobs in a Stage must be built and succeed before Bamboo builds any Jobs in the next Stage. If any Job fails in a Stage, no further Stages in the Plan will be processed and the Plan's build will fail.

Each new Plan created in Bamboo contains at least one Stage (to house the Default Job) and is known as the 'Default Stage'. Stages can only be configured by Bamboo administrators.
