I am using TFS 2010 and scrum template I am using is "Microsoft Visual Studion Scrum 1.0".
I have my Work Items and task added to the product backlog and to the sprint.
My problem is, I don't see any icon or menu to click and see the burn down chart.
When I googled,I found this
"This report requires that the team project collection that contains your team project was provisioned with SQL Server Reporting Services"
My project doesn't have SSRS bind to it.
Is it a must or is there any other work around for this in TFS 2010?
If you want to view the Burndown Report, you need to have SSRS Reporting installed and configured.

According to this blog post by Brian Harry, the agile portfolio management aspect of TFS2013 and Visual Studio Team Services has a feature to create different levels of backlog items.
For instance, a backlog of business initiatives can be broken down into a backlog of scenarios and then into a backlog of user stories, etc. You can manage the backlog at each level and trace the relationships.
and
All of this will be included in TFS 2013 and is available on Team Foundation Service today for you to start to explore.
I can't see anywhere to do it on Visual Studio Team Services. According to this page on MSDN you can do it via witadmin by exporting an existing work item type, modifying it, and reimporting it.
However trying to do this with Visual Studio Team Services results in the following error:
TF237113: You don't have enough permissions to complete the import operation.
Which seems to be a common complaint, e.g. there are lots of comments about it at UserVoice.
Is it possible then in Visual Studio Team Services to add a different level of backlog item?
Visual Studio Team Services doesn't allow you to customize the process template and/or Work Item definitions. That's why witadmin isn't working.
However, the Portfolio Management features are available in Team Services. If you are using the Scrum Process Template you will have Features that are broken down into a backlog of PBIs, and the PBIs are broken down into Tasks. You do not have the ability in Team Services to add additional layers like you do in TFS on-premise.
Is there a way to migrate from MSF Agile 6.0 to a Scrum process template in TFS 2012? We have migrated from TFS 2010 to 2012 recently and would like to change the process template without loosing history.
I've heard about http://witsynchronizer.codeplex.com/ but has anyone tried it for TFS 2012?
The way in which we have done this is;
In Visual Studio (I have Visual Studio Ultimate 2012) Go to Team Explorer - Home (Make sure you are in the correct collection / project)
In the drop down menu navigate to Projects & My Team & Select New Team Project
Enter your desired team project name and description
Select the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.0 - Preview 4 process template
Configure the SharePoint site if you wish but we choose "Do not configure the SharePoint site at this time"
Specify Source Control Settings - We choose "Create a new source control branch" and select the area of code we want to branch from. This then should retain all of your history.
Confirm your team project settings and then click Finish.
Hope this helps, it may not be the correct way but works for us.
I installed TFS 2010 trial version.
In Visual studio editor, under Team menu->New Work Item,
I found only Bug, Issue, Shared Steps, Task, Testcase, User Story
I didn't find ChangeRequest, Review, Risk, Sprint Backlog Items.
How can I get those in my Team menu;
Thanks
Your project was created using a CMMI process template. If you have nothing yet in it, the easiest way would be to create a new TeamProject using a SCRUM Template.
If you already worked with the project, you could install the TFS Power Tools. In VS you will get the Tools menu entry "Process Editor" -> "Work Item Types" -> "Import WIT"
Now you need the XML files which define the work items you need. If you have other projects using these types, you can use "Export WIT" there and Import them in your project. If you don't have them there, you need to download them. Possible locations:

I have recently setup TFS 2010 and am trying to access the reporting feature. TFS is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am accessing TFS using Visual Studio 2010.
From what I have seen on the web, I should have a reports option in Team Explorer or from the Team menu in Visual Studio. I don't have this option at all. I have seen MSDN articles saying the option may have a red cross next to it, but I don't see at all.
From the TFS Admin console, reporting seems to be setup. All three options (Warehouse, Analysis Services and Report Server) have a green tick and say "Configured".
If I access the reports URL, I get a web interface but there are no out-of-the-box reports.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The problem was that the default reports folder location had not been set. I only noticed by clicking through all the screens in desperation.
Open the TFS Admin Console, go to Application Tier > Team Project Collections. Then in the Reports Folder tab at the bottom make sure you have set a value. I just used the default example which was /TfsReports/DefaultCollection.
You don't see the folder "Reports" in this view?
Do you have a screen like this?
When I opened the Report site (in created Team Project), I am faced with the "There are no items in TeamProject. Click Help for more information about this page"
Report site: team Explorer>Right-click on Reports in team explorer and select show Report site, then open the Report site
check tfs server health with "Best Practices Analyzer" tool
call the command line option to install the new templates
tfpt addprojectreports /collection:%serverName\CollectionName% /teamp
roject:%TeamProjectName% /processtemplate:"MSF for Agile Software
Development v5.0" /force
to add all of the Reports for a Process Template to TFS
I assume you use TFS 2010. When you go into the TFS Admin Console (you can find it on the TFS server), open the Team Project Collections Node. You have there the Reports Folder. Please check whether it is correctly configured.
