Can you change the process template for a Team Project in TFS

I have a project in VS2013 online. It was setup with the default Process template (Scrum 2.0). I have a lot of source code with history but have nothing else, no workitems/backlog/tasks/stories/bugs etc. I would like to change the template to the Agile template but cant see a way to do this. Is this possible?

What is process template in TFS?

A TFS process template is used to define the fields, rules, and state workflow for work item types in a TFS project. These settings are important because when synchronizing, each transition will be replayed in TeamPulse.

How do you create a team project in TFS?

In the Team Explorer window, right-click the team project collection, and then click New Team Project. In the New Team Project dialog box, provide a name and a description for the team project, and then click Next.

1) If you are using VSO then no.

Your only option would be to create a new Team Project. If it is a TFVC project you will be able to branch your source into the new project on the same instance.

2) If you are using Team Foundation Server then you can

Its very strait forward for your circumstance. I would however sugest that the Agile template is not right for you 😊:

  • Change Process Template
  • Template Choice

My recommendation is to keep the Scrum template but if you really want User Storys then rename PBI to user story. If your PM's want Original Estimate and Completed Work fields then add them. You are bot going to get far into agility if you are fighting against the tool...

P.s. Feel free to email me to discuss offline 😊
