Best Agile template for TFS 2010? [closed]

Question

I've just installed TFS 2010, and would like to use TFS in the most Agile way.

I've seen http://scrumforteamsystem.com, are they're any other good templates you can suggest?

Cheers, Ash.

Answer 1

@Ash, Yess indeed there is. There is now an official Visual Studio 2010 Scrum Process Template that has been created in conjunction with many Scrum guys and Ken Schwaber.

Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0

Process template from Microsoft for Scrum teams. Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for project management and agile software development. This template includes work items and reports to help your Scrum team be successful.

I use this template with TFS 2010 and it is a 1-1 Scrum template unlike Agile5 which is a generic agile that has instructions for Scrum.

The Professional Scrum Developer (.NET) course also uses this template.

I also use an add-on tool to TFS to help with the management of the Backlog and Work In Progress. Urban Turtle provides just awesome capabilities on top of TFS to add the Task board and backlog management functionality that comes with the Conchnago template.
