I installed Microsoft Scrum 1.0 template from their website, it installed with no errors but it is not being shown in the Templates list when I try to create a New Team Project. There is only MSF Agile and MSF CMMI.
What could be causing this?
When you choose upload, you need to browse c:\Program Files\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0\Process Template, which is the folder that contains the ProcessTemplate.xml root file.
You have to upload the process template to your server:
In the Visual Studio 2010 choose from the menu TEam -> Team Project Collection Settings -> Process Template Manager. In the dialog choose Upload
Here is a blog post that details the steps to upload and install the template.

Recently we upgraded from TFS 2013.2 (german) to TFS 2015.1 (english). Now if I create a new project collection and a new team project I can only select the old german process templates
"Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2013.2"
"MSF for Agile Software Development 2013.2"
"MSF for CMMI Process Improvement 2013.2"
The description below the templates is in german, consequently I believe I have only the old process templates installed on our TFS.
I found the correct templates here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Tools\Deploy\ProcessTemplateManagerFiles\1033
How can I re-install the original current process templates from TFS 2015.1 in english?
Where are the active templates stored? In the database? Can I "inject" the correct ones somehow?
Deleting and re-importing the templates is not possible because TFS locks the default templates now. Unfortunately the wrong default templates...
You can upload these project templates in Visual Studio under Team -> Team Project Collection Settings -> Process Template Manager and there is an upload button.
The problem that you are going to face is that any projects currently using one of the older templates will not be transferable to the new ones.
You should be able to remove the old ones from this window also provided that there are no projects using them.
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:
◦Scrum for Team System version 3 (on TFS 2010)
https://www.scrumforteamsystem.com/Products/Search/SfTS%20v3
◦MSF Agile version 5 (on TFS 2010)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380647.aspx
◦Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 (on TFS 2010)

I have created a new team project using sfts v3.0 project template. Later I have realized that we need to customize scrum template (add some new status). How can I upgrade the scrum template once team project has been created. Can I modify the template and overwrite files to location where it is on TFS 2010 server?
The new project I have created is entirely blank and I am running migration tool to migrate source code from tfs 2008 to tfs 2010 and I don't want to interrupt that process.
Use the Process Editor of the TFS Power Tools.
Here's a guide how to use it.
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.
