How can I find the process template of my TFS Project

Question

Is there a way to see what Template my TFS Project is using?

Ie Scrum for Team System, MSFT Agile 4 etc....

Answer 1

In TFS 2010, you can right-click on a project and select "Team Project Process Guidance". This will prompt you to save a html page and then prompt you to open it. When the page opens, it will be a MSDN page containing information about the process template thats used for the team project.

E.g if you had created a team project with CMMi v5.0 process template, then you will get the MSDN page for CMMi v5.0, if it was created with Agile 5.0, then you will get the MSDN page for Agile v5.0.

This way, you can identify which process template your project is based on.

Hope this is helpful.( after nearly 1 and half years of the initial post, I am not sure but might be to other users ).

That information is not stored in your TFS environment. The only thing you can do is to look at the work item types or the states in the work item and 'guess' which template it is.

For example: in TFS 2008, the Agile has a Scenario, while the CMMI has a Requirement. In TFS 2010, the Agile has a User Story, while the CMMI has a Requirement.
