Team system and MS Project

Team system and MS Project

  Hi Jonas,
  You do not have to have MS Project installed to utilise the reporting features of Team System. The useful data that can be reported on through out the duration of your project is kept in the backend SQL database.
  You probably have an issue with reporting services. Are there any errors coming out of TFS that you can see

  No, you definitely don't need MS Project to be installed. The reports should be in the Reports folder in the Team Project and documents in the Documents folder. Did you create a Team Project using the MSF for Agile Software Development methodology

  I didn't complete all the work items like iteration plan and so on, if that's what you mean.
  
  Do I have to follow the methodology very strict for team system to work as it should
  If that is the case, then I think I need to check out how to customize the methodologys. Does anyone have any resources on this by the way

  No, can't see any errors.
  
  My last post was maybe made in a state of light frustration of not getting everything working the way I wanted it to...
  
  But is it right that in order to use the documents found in the project managment folder in the team project, you have to have ms project installed

  No, you shouldn't have to do anything. Just create the Team Project and you should be able to see some docs and reports in the two folders.
  
  As for customizing methodologies, take a look at these Webcasts:
