For an overview of process models and customization options, see Customize your work tracking experience. These processes are available for both cloud and on-premises versions of Azure Boards. Projects hosted on Azure Boards update automatically with each service upgrade. Whereas, updates to projects defined on-premises may require running the Configure Feature Wizard after upgrading to a later version.

You can only run the wizard on TFS and earlier versions. If you've customized your project and haven't upgraded your on-premises deployment for a while, you may need to manually apply some changes to gain access to new features. Review the following table to determine which changes may apply to your situation. See New features added when you upgrade for a description of each feature added with the updates.

Removed system rule Assign work item to the person who created it when the bug is moved to the Resolved state from the Bug work item type in the Agile process.

For those customers who want to continue using this rule, you can add the following custom workflow rules rule to the Bug in your process:. Azure DevOps Server The values assigned to these fields are now governed based on the state categories of Proposed and Resolved.

To learn more, see Query by assignment or workflow changes. Predefined Shared Queries are no longer created upon project creation. The definitions for Shared Queries have been removed from the process template. Shared Queries defined in custom process templates are created. You can also add Shared Queries to a process template as described in Add work item queries to a process template.

This section supports the new work item tracking experience in the web portal. It includes the SystemControls section and the new LinksControlOptions for managing link relationships.

When you upgrade an on-premises Azure DevOps to TFS , the new web form is automatically available when you add projects to a collection. For existing projects, an administrator is required to enable the new form. The reason the new form isn't automatically enabled for existing projects is to prevent overwriting customizations made to existing WIT definitions.

Added support for the Test Plan and Test Suite feature to support customization and tracking of these items similar to other work item types. Added support for the Shared Parameters feature, which allows you to run tests with different data. Each of the default process templates that TFS provides was updated to support other regressive transitions. These transitions, shown in red in the following illustration, support moving items back to the backlog when they were incorrectly set to done or resolved.

Now when you inadvertently drag a work item on the Kanban board or the taskboard to a resolved or closed state, you can drag it back to an earlier workflow state.

The following work item types now support any-to-any workflow transitions:. To apply the changes to your existing projects, you need to replace the WORKFLOW sections defined for each of the updated work item types with the new definitions. You can easily change the Iterations to be any flavour you like. Bugs are on the backlog, one state for the team working on something, no push to a particular practice. And if you have a team that needs a little legacy love you can easily add a column to the Kanban boards without enshrining dysfunctions in the template.

I always recommend that folks start with the Visual Studio Scrum template as a base and customise from there.

There are a few customising that I like to see teams make if they need them, especially to help adoption:. These customisations are non-intrusive and have a limited impact on reporting and upgradability. I spend a lot of time at customers migrating them from the Agile and CMMI templates to the Scrum template and while it is not that hard to do it does take time and money. What other customisations do you make to your Scrum template to support your lean-agile process?

Choosing a Process Template for your Team Project. Topic s. Table of Contents. Join The League. There are two key frictions that I think affect your choice: Current Friction — If you have a discrepancy between what you are doing now, and the process template you choose then you will have a harder time getting folks to work within the bounded environment that you are trying to create. However you may want some friction if folks are currently doing the wrong thing. Future Friction — As your process implementation moves to match your strategic direction, and the template lags behind , then you will have a significant friction for folks who really want to do the old thing.

Having the right rules to follow is valuable for figuring out the right path: Create a Template for the Process that you want, not the process that you have. Make it easy to do the right thing, and hard to do the wrong thing.

There are main issues with the Agile template: Bugs are not on the backlog — As any good consulting team sarcasm knows you must hide your bugs from the customer and this template promotes that bugs are triaged separately to Stories. Yes you can change this to add bugs to the backlog, however the expected happy path is that you triage your bugs separately.

The question is asking about the meaning of these process templates in Microsoft Team Foundation Server TFS , not the methodologies in general. AndrewMedico the OP claimed in his question "Your answer should be focused on As a developer, what is the diference I am going to feel" and that is what I answered, to elaborate more take a look on the original non-edited question on stackoverflow. Basically the OP does not ask on the difference between templates but in the underlying methodology difference and how it will affect him in the long run — yoel halb.
