Work Items |
A work item is a database record which Visual Studio Team Foundation uses to track the assignment and state of work. The MSF for CMMI® Process Improvement process defines seven work items to assign and track work. These seven work items are task, change request, risk, review, requirements, bug, and issue. Task Change Request Requirement Bug Review
Work Products Examples and Templates |
Work products are files, documents, specifications, binaries, parts, and other tangible items that are necessary to complete activities and build the product. Many times the creation of one work product is dependent on the completion of another work product.

Report Examples |
Project health charts aggregate metrics from work items, source control, test results, and builds. They answer questions about the actual state of your project at many scales: for the days within an iteration, iterations within a project, or projects with in a program. The questions are also relevant for many kinds of work items such as scenarios, quality of service requirements, tasks, and bugs. Scenario Details Provides detailed information for each scenario including rank, overall status, linked developer tasks with status, risks with status, test tasks with status, and test cases with status. Bugs by Priority Are the correct bugs being found and triaged? Bugs reported by priority assess the effectiveness of two things: bug hunting and triage. Discovering bugs is a normal part of product development. Often however, the easy-to-find bugs are not the ones that will annoy customers the most. If the high-priority bugs are not being found and a disproportionate number of low-priority bugs are, redirect the testing efforts to look for the bugs that matter. In triage, it is easy to over-prioritize bugs beyond the capacity to resolve them, or under-prioritize them to the point where customers are highly dissatisfied. Requirements Test History Requirements Test history shows the progress of system testing of product requirements (functional, operational, security, safety, interface) or user acceptance testing of customer requirements (scenarios and qualities of service) over the duration of the iteration. Test Failure Without Active Bug Identifies failed tests that do not have active bugs for tracking. It helps consolidate the iteration and release quality. Test Passing With Active Bug Identifies failed tests that still have active bugs. It helps reduce wasted effort. Builds Provides a list of available builds, including detailed information on each.
Query Definitions |
MSF for CMMI Process Improvement provides a set of work item queries designed to support the activities and roles in the process. Development Tasks This query returns a status summary of all development tasks in the team project iteration. It includes links to each development task to facilitate detailed evaluation. Product Requirements This query returns all of the active product requirements (functional, interface, operational, safety, or security) for the team project. This query can be used to generate a product requirements list in Microsoft Excel. Test Tasks This query returns a status summary of all test tasks in the team project iteration. It includes links to each test task to facilitate detailed evaluation. Resolved Bugs This query returns a list of bugs that are resolved.
