  When i create a new project based on the Agile process template, i get a list of about 15 work items. I don't want these work items in the project every time i load them.

• gopalkrishna TFS on same server as Project Server?

  We have a dedicated server that has Project Server 2003 running on it. It has extra capacity so we would like to install TFS on it if possible. In reading the installation instructions for it, there are a couple of concerns I have as to whether this is possible. SQL Server - Project Server is not using the default SQL instance. It seems like TFS expects to use the default instance. In this case, they do not seem to conflict. Is this correct ...Show All

• Mark Shoesmith The graphical representation of MSF4ASD

  Hello MSF users,   In my research of Microsoft Solution Framework I discovered that there is little information of this meta process. Therefore, I do my own research, where I compare the Microsoft Solutions Framework for Agile Software Development (MSF4ASD) and the well-known Rational Unified Process (RUP). Whereas RUP has a graphical representation of their process, MSF4ASD has none. Last weeks I conducted a graphical repre ...Show All

Everything appears to be ...Show All
