I’ve been working with TFS for sometime and when you are using the process flows you need to understand how the workflows work with the work items types.
There are two main types I have worked with Agile and CMMI Process Improvements.
I’m not an expert on these workflows but you can get access to the full guidance from:
- MSF for Agile Software Development Process Guidance
- MSF for CMMI Process Improvement
- or if you are really stuck go to Microsoft’s Process Templates and Tools page
The diagrams below are taken from VSTS blog site, but you must remember thes eare just starting points and they can be changed to suit your own workflow within your business
