How can I modify a Work Item type to include additional information in TFS?

Question

TFS2008. I'd like to track task points on a Task work item, but there isn't anywhere (other than the description) to record this. I'd like to add a dropdown with 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, etc, so these task points can be exported in reports.

Answer 1

Use the process template editor, available as part of the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server Power Tools.

Answer 2

Hi Will,

I created a web cast awhile ago that demonstrates this tool. it covers a couple of really basic scenarios. It can be accessed here.

Ta.
