Here are some quick "getting started" tips for the Scrum for Team System process template.
- Set up your sprint.
Sprints need to have a start and end date before they can be reported on.
- Create your Environments and Teams.
You can do this from the project portal (right click on the project name in Team Explorer) and it only needs to be done once per project.
- Create your user stories.
Define a list of product backlog items (PBI). Don't forget to assign the iteration path, this links PBIs to sprints.
- Create your sprint backlog tasks.
Using
the "Add related item" menu option from the PBI context menu sets up
the links automatically. Otherwise you can set PBI -> SBI relations
in the links tab.
- Burndown your backlog
As work is completed and progress is made, mark the changes on the SBIs. Reducing the work remaining figures as needed.
The
reports are sourced from the TFS warehouse database. This database is
only updated every hour (default settings) so new information will take
at least an hour to be displayed.
Some reports plot points between days, so data will not be visible until to the following day.
