I've just upgraded TFS from 2012 to 2015. If I create a 'Feature' can I move PBIs under it so I can organise all of the PBIs into 'Features' and 'Epics'?
To map a backlog item under a feature:
First choose Backlog items and turn mapping on.
Next, find the Unparented backlog items group.
Drag items that are currently unparented to the feature under which
they belong.
Also, you can drag a backlog item to a different feature to change
its parent.
Then you will see the dragged PBI under the corresponding feature.
More detail info please refer this tutorial： Map items to group them under a feature or epic

I am trying to customize the Kanban board in TFS 2018 for new work item types I've added.
Following the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/work/kanban/add-columns , my configuration dialog seems to be missing the Board configuration.
Here's from the documentation
Here's my panel (I've added my user as the team administrator).
Any help in regards to customize my workflow and board is highly appreciated.
At the moment, the Kanban board settings are not available for the Sprint board. The settings page you're showing applies to backlogs such as Epics, Features and Backlog Items. Not to the Sprint backlog.
I have an "Advanced" license in our TFS 2015. However, the "Capacity" tab is missing when I view the backlog. What else am I missing?
Are you looking at the Product Backlog or the Sprint Backlog? Do you have start and end dates defined for your selected sprint? Only when you are on the sprint backlog with defined dates does the capacity tab show up.
There is also an issue where you must set the Users Access Level to "Basic" or higher, at the Organization level for that user to be able to see the Capacity Tab at all in the Projects.
I am currently using the TFS express 2013 with update 4.
I logged in into the web portal of my TFS project where I would like to add some featues and backlog project items.
I have some trouble with displaying the backlog items under features. I have created a new feature Resignation, created a new backlog poject item Add resignation button to employee and created a link between the 2.
But in my overview I see still the following:
I would like to see it like here:
What am I doing wrong?
Your first screenshot is in the Queries tab, looking at the Results of the Assigned To Me Query. The 2nd screenshot is in the Backlogs tab.
PS - TFS Express may not contain the Portfolio Management features that you're trying to get to. I've never used TFS Express so not entirely sure which features are in there or not.
We recently started using TFS and SCRUM with our work item backlog in TFS. This gives us the advantage of associating a work item with a changeset check-in.
Is it possible to include associated work item titles in the "View History" of an object?
The reason I want this is to avoid including the work item id in the check-in comment.
You can open the Work Item, go to All Links, and create a new link of type Changeset.
Maybe I am not understanding the scrum development model correctly, but I am confused why TFS places bugs on a different row than my backlog item even if the backlog item is set as its parent.
I thought that we would make a bug report, and it be placed in the TO DO column. Then as you commit code to that bug, you associate the commits with that particular task ID for the bug. Then once it is done it is moved to DONE. Is that not how scrum works? What is the typical process for fixing a reported bug?
That is the view of the task board. In the most recent Scrum process template (Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.x), the Bug is in the Requirements category. Doing so, the Bug is treated like a Product Backlog Item (it can be stacked ranked, broken down into workable tasks, and fed through the process like any other PBI). If you are on TFS 2012 Update 1, or TFService, you should have a Kanban board tab on the product backlog page which is where you would move your bugs through the states (New/Approved/Committed/Done). In the task board (screenshot above), the Bugs and Product Backlog Items will be shown as rows (where you have Task Here and Bug Here) and the the tasks will exist in the To do, In progress, and Done columns.
When you work against a bug, you work specifically against the tasks, and associate/resolve those tasks as you check in code. Once your 'Definition of Done' has been met, you can then move the Bug work item (on the Kanban board, or manually via the state field) to Done.
We are developing agile tools for TFS since 2008 at Urban Turtle. In the 2012 version we did exactly what you are looking for. Green line represent User Story (PBI) and red box represent bugs.
You can try our Product online if you want.
