Working with Bamboo
A build is the execution of either a plan or a job. The execution of a plan is referred to as a plan build and that of a job is a job build.
A plan:
- Has a single stage, by default, but can be used to group jobs into multiple stages.
- Processes a series of one or more stages that are run sequentially using the same repository.
- Specifies the default repository.
- Specifies how the build is triggered, and the triggering dependencies between the plan and other plans in the project.
- Specifies notifications of build results.
- Specifies who has permission to view and configure the plan and its jobs.
- Provides for the definition of plan variables.
Every plan belongs to a project.
Projects and plans can only be configured by Bamboo administrators (see Creating a plan).

Accessing Bamboo
In the application navigator, choose Bamboo. This takes you to the Bamboo dashboard.
Your administrator can customize the names in the application navigator, so you might see a different name other than Bamboo.
