Work Items

Managing work with Light Weight Scrum

Visual Studio Team Foundation records a unit of work in a database, used to track the status and health of the overall solution. The Light Weight Scrum Process Template defines four types of work items, used to assign and track work. The work item database and metrics warehouse make it possible to execute real-time queries and to produce reports on project health.

The life of a Work Item

Each work item has its own life cycle.  This lifecycle is determined by the State and Transition defined for each Work Item.

 

States

 

States define the current condition of the Work Item. 

 

Transitions

Transitions define the path between states.  Transitions also define why the transition occurred.
