TFS Work Item Organizer
is a Visual Studio 2008 add-in that helps you manage work items.
Features
- Shows work items in a hierarchical view
- Automatically links work items if you add a sub item
- Automatically sets iteration and area from the view
Background
We recently installed Team Foundation Server at work.
But found that the TFS is quite difficult to add items and it takes alot of time.
What I wanted was hierarchical view of the work items, and an easy way of showing them based on iteration or area.
The reports can show this but there is no easy way of adding work items.
Adding a task, assigning it to a non default Area and Iteration and linking it to another work item is over 15 mouse clicks.
When I demoed my add-in and showed the normal way of doing things I realized that half way I was already tired of managing the work item.
To solve that I started developing this project.
