ABSOLUTE IMPERATIVE TO GIVE A WAY TO EASILY DELETE A TEAM PROJECT RIGHT NOW ITS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE

Visual Studio uses Source Control Bindings (persisted as various Scc* settings in the solution and project files and also in *.vspscc and *.vssscc files) for legacy reasons. The TFS API allows source control information (server url, check-out status, etc) to be retrieved using only the local file path and Visual Studio should use this capability without requiring the user to manage superfluous bindings.

I love the Team project dashboard in 2012, but I still need a view thats purely user focused as well. I should have my own dashboard where i can see all of my active backlogs, task, bugs, etc at a glance. I understand that i can build a my own query that will list this, however that query is still stored in whatever team project i created it in. We need some global functionality that supersedes the team project container.

It is currently not possible to search for rich text fields that are empty. You have to specify a value that the field must either contain or not contain. This value cannot be left blank, so searching for work items where not text has been entered is not possible.

In addition to the "Contains" and "Does not contain" operators "Is empty" and "Is not empty" operators would be very useful.

Your Git-Support for the TF Service is great. But what a lot of us need is the same ability in the On-Premise version of TFS.

I know that this is sheduled for the next major version of TFS. But hey; who can wait so long for that Killer-Feature? :)

So please provide Git-Support in one of the following regular updates for TFS.

Allow work items to be assigned to more than one person, enabling work item tracking by ad-hoc teams.

This would be useful for pair programming for example. When pairs form impromptu teams that exist just for the duration of the sprint. Or for when the build has failed as all those who have checked in code could have the failure assigned to them as a bug. Ideally in that situation, there would be a quick way for one of the assignees to take ownership to inform the others that they're working on it.

- add option to configure columns (workitem states)
- add option to configure colo(u)rs per work item type
- allow to control what workitems should appear on a board (even if not linked to a user story/pbi)
- allow setting of WIP limits per work item state (for kanban)

It is common to make a few mistakes, duplicates etc when entering a bunch of new work items or tasks. There is no easy way to delete the bad ones and try again.

I know it is possible to to do this from the comamnd line, but it is a pain and defeats the purpose of having a GUI. The end result is that poor items get left in the project because it is a pain in the *** to remove them and start over.

Product backlog is managed mainly by the people who sponser the projects/products. There should be an option to manage the product back from anywhere/anytime. A nice mobile app makes perfect sense. Currently I am using tfspreview. Many times I think an idea while eating lunch or on the road. If there was an option to capture these ideas in my product backlog, it will be awesome.

It would be nice to change the color or appearance of work items in the result list of a query depending on a value of a field. I want to draw my work item titles red for bugs and green for "ideas" and so on ...

I want to be able to convert an existing project in TFS online from using TFSVC version control to Git. Currently I can only get Git by creating a new project.

We use extensive branching in our software development lifecycle. When I open the same solution on different branches I can't easily tell which branch I'm working on. This often forces me to flip through 2 or 3 windows of VS to find the right branch

When in the "Find Changesets" dialog in "Source Control Explorer", it would be nice to have an option to rollback the changeset that was found/searched for. Currently, you have to view history on the solution/folder/file to select the changeset and roll it back.

Make an easy way to delete projects, i still haven't found a way that works to delete my project.

We need to encourage teams to get the Product Owner to use the "Business Value" field.

1. Rename the current "Velocity" report to "Velocity for Effort"
2. Add a new report "Velocity for Business Value"

The 2 attachments show what I would like to see...

I suggest you update the default copy workitem function to allow admins set a default and allow users to set if they want copy links and/or attachments. Therefore when the copy workitem box pops up it would have two check boxes that could be defaulted to be checked out not. the check boxes would be two WorkItemLinkCopyFlag options CopyLinks and CopyFiles.

This would allow the copy function to work much better b/c it would avoid that issue of huge linked workitem counts on workitem that have been copied over and over for each new release/sprint.
