Workstreams and Activities
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
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. Velocity How quickly is the team completing work? Velocity is one of the key elements for estimation. It shows how quickly the team is actually completing planned work, and how much the rate varies from day-to-day, or iteration-to-iteration. Use this data to plan the next iteration, in conjunction with the quality measures. Similar to the remaining work chart, this is most useful when looking at days within an iteration or iterations within a project.
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.
