Visual Studio TFS Update 2 updated the Scrum Process Template from 2.1 to 2.2.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find any information on the exact changes.
What changed between the versions? And, more importantly, how can I determine what changes are important for my project?
A process template can be accessed through VSTS or an on-premises Team Foundation Server (TFS). It supports Hosted XML and On-premises XML process models. We can customize projects through the modification and import of XML definition files.
A process template defines the building blocks of the work item tracking system and other subsystems you access through Azure DevOps. Process templates are only used with the Hosted XML and On-premises XML process models. You customize projects by modifying and importing process template XML definition files.
The Scrum process in Azure DevOps closely resembles the agile process. However, there are key differences. The Scrum process aligns to the Scrum framework and allows: Product Owners to manage their Product Backlog. This includes setting the priority, order and business importance for each product backlog item.
The Scrum process supports the following work item types (WITs) to plan and track work, tests, feedback, and code review. With different WITs you can track different types of work—such as product backlog items, tasks, bugs, and more. These artifacts are created when you create a project using the Scrum process.
I was looking for a similar list of changes and, much like you, haven't had much luck. Here is the closest I've come to a list of new features:
"From Scrum 2.0 to Scrum 2.2
- Add the Tags column by default on the product backlog
- Add missing transitions to the Bug and PBI"
