I would like to modify the Burndown chart in TFS 2012's Scrum 2.0 Template so that weekends no longer show. I've already looked at this article, but unfortunately the solution listed there doesn't apply to the Burndown Chart when running from Board View.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can modify it in Board View?
UPDATE: The burndown excludes the weekends on Visual Studio Online. Later this year, this feature ships with TFS 2013 Update 2 for on-prem customers.
See the announcement at http://www.visualstudio.com/news/2014-jan-22-vso.
If you want to configure the working days of your team, you can click on the gear button in the top right corner which will open the admin area in a new tab. Click on your team, and choose the “settings” tab.
The TFS team on uservoice explained recently that they started working on this feature request Burndown chart should exclude non-work days.

We have been using TFS for a number of years and I still struggle to get a handle on the progress (e.g. burndown) of an Epic.
The Epic spans multiple team backlogs.
We use the Scrum template and are on TFS 2017 on-premises version.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

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 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.
I'm trying to change the look of the Kanban Board in TFS 2013 by adding the WorkItem ID to tasks, bugs and PBI's.
To be more precise: I would like to add the WI# before the title of each item in the swimminglanes.
I'm trying to do this with witadmin but can't seem to find the correct files.
This feature is now available on TFS Online.
To show WorkItem Id's on BLI's & Bugs, you have update the settings on the board.
Click on the Settings wheel on the top right corner of the board.
Select "Cards" in the drop down.
In the "Customize Cards" page, select the "Show ID" checkbox as highlighted in the below image.
Click "Save" button. You board will refresh with new settings.
Note: The settings are separate for Bug & Product Backlog Item
The best answer I can provide at the moment is to point you towards Tiago Pascoal's Task Board Enhancer, which is a extension that can be installed on your TFS server to get some kanban board enhancements.
http://pascoal.net/task-board-enhancer/
As Andrew mentioned, there is no other way to enhance work items on the kanban board currently.
This isn't something that you can currently customize through the process template (witadmin). Sorry.
Take a look at this solution of using a "bookmarklet" to just show the ID on the boards without having to make any changes on the server http://pascoal.net/2012/08/adding-work-item-ids-to-team-foundation-server-board/
The one I use is from that site:
javascript:$('.tbTile').each(function(){var t=this.id.substring(5,999),n=$(this).find('.witTitle').first();n.attr('_wi')===undefined&&(n.attr('_wi',t),n.html('<strong>'+t+'<\/strong>-'+n.text()))}),$('.board-tile').each(function(){var t=this.id,n=$(this).find('.title').first();n.attr('_wi')===undefined&&(n.attr('_wi',t),n.html('<strong>'+t+'<\/strong>-'+n.text()))})
I have managed to remove weekends from the sprint burndown chart within the TFS report server however cannot get the change to reflect on the Web Access view.
Following some documentation online I have even made changes to the 'Sprint Burndown.rdl' report within the Scrum 2013 Process Template and uploaded this back into TFS however this didn't appear to change anything.
Has anyone managed to successfully remove weekends from this chart?
The Web Access module uses a different location to store what weekdays are and which aren't. You cannot remove weekends from the graph, this is a much requested feature and according to the admin comment it is coming soon.
UNDER REVIEW · Visual Studio team
Visual Studio team (Product Team, Microsoft) responded · Aug 22, 2013:
We’re starting work on this and should be able to close it down soon. Stay tuned.
It might ship with TFS 2013 update 2 if they managed to fix this.
Update
TFS 2013 update 2 RC now has the features to set Team Days off, which will effectively hide the weekends and these team days off from the burndown chart.
Non-working days – Starting with Update 2, you can define you’re non-working days (weekends, for most of us) and we’ll exclude them from the burn down calculation so it no longer looks like you are on track when you really aren’t (because you don’t plan to work the weekend :)).
