I have a project portal set up, and under dashboards in the left-hand nav, I see "My Dashboard" and "Project Dashboard". Apparently there are other dashboards available, like Burndown, Quality, Bugs, Test, and Build, but they aren't available to me.
Any idea how I can access them?
This usually happens if you select a project type that doesn't support these modules (use Agile or Scrum) or if the features aren't enabled on the SharePoint site where the project portal is hosted.
Go to Site Settings > Site Collection Features. Make sure Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Web Part Collection is enabled.
Go back to Settings, Go to Site Actions and Manage Site Features. Check if the Agile Dashboards with Excel are enabled.

Our IT installed TFS 2017 (15.112.26307.0). It's a clean installation. It currently has few startup projects, just to see and explorer features. But the projects are missing "Process" link under Project Template page, to configure Agile/Scrum/CMMI. I don't see link for "Configure Features" either. My account has Project Administrator and Project Collection Administrators privileges. Ultimately we would like to explorer Agile process. Any help appreciated.
The Process tab is something that Microsoft has been building for VSTS and which is likely to come to on-prem in the near future. But for now TFS still uses the old XML based work item templates which offer a higher level of customizability, but which are also much harder to maintain.

We have upgraded TFS2008 to 2013 on a new server and source control/workitem tracking is okay - we can use all that from within VS2013 Pro.
We have also upgraded Sharepoint (containing all the project documentation) to a new database server and using the TFS 2013 Adminisration Console we can see the Team Projects listed there.
However although from the VS2013 Team Exlorer we can add the team projects and open the 'web portal' for each team project, we cannot see any of the documents nor can we (seemingly) view in a browser the portal that in VS2008 shows the document libraries.
Are we missing something in the unfamiliar interface, or can anyone advise what the cause might be and how to fix it?
You need to "wire up" the Team Projects to the Sharepoint sites. It sounds like they have been detached through the order of the upgrade.
Sharepoint needs to be upgraded and available during the upgrade process or this happens
You can however easily wire them back up. In the Team Project in Visual Studio go to the Team Explorer and do "Settings|Portal".
You should have a dialog for wiring up The existing Sharepoint to the Team Project.
If you don't you may have Tbeen disconnected at the collection level. In which case you can open the TFS Administration Console and follow: http://nakedalm.com/integrate-sharepoint-2013-with-team-foundation-server-2013/
i'm trying to figure out what to do here
I have been building a project with VS 2013 and EF6 - with SQL Azure. I publish to Azure and my project sits in TFS so I can check in and out files
I have someone joining the team and it should be simple but i'm not sure how I can add another user to have rights to my TFS project folder and download the APP and away we go
Can someone point me in the right direction, i've looked in Azure Portal and tried clicking around in Solution Explorer in VS2013 to no avail
In TFS Web Access click the little cogwheel in the upper right corner to enter the admin area for your team project and navigate to the team, or from the home page of your Team Project click the "Manage All Team Members".
You can also get to this screen by clicking the Project Name in Team Explorer and opening the Settings. When connected to TFS 2012 or newer that should open the same admin pages.
I've installed TFS 2012 Express on Windows server 2008.
Created new project, and choose the Scrum 2.0 process template.
From all the tutorials, I understand that I am supposed to have backlog, board and work items tabs.
However, I have only the work items. How do I get the two others?
Here: View Backlog link is missing from the TFS11 home page
someone pointed that there is Web Access Permissions setting in the Administration page,
but in the Administration page, I am also missing the web acess tab.
Agile Planning tool are not available in TFS Express. Under the "Agile/Scrum" section of the post it says:
Product Backlog and Sprint Planning – these require Premium or Ultimate (see this post about enabling via the licensing feature)
At the end of the article it also mentions:
[UPDATE 6/7/2012] TFS Express does not include any of the Agile features. It is really focused on source control, build, and bug tracking. You can read more about it here.
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?
