Is there a better way to view/interact with workitems in TFS?


I'm in the requirements/design phase of building an application. We're using VS 2008 and TFS. I have a bunch of scenarios, and related tasks. Some of the requirements have changed, and I would like to go through and see which tasks need to be changed/deleted.

It's very difficult to view the overview of the system using any of the existing workitem views - whether it's the grid in VS or viewing them in Excel.

Is there a tool out there that will show me my workitems in a hierarchical view? Alternatively, I would take something that would export my workitems to Visio so I could interact with them in a virtual "index cards on the whiteboard" way.


Solution

  • Hierarchical views of WI within Team Explorer should be fully supported in 2010.

    The web access power tool provide heirarchical views to some degree. You'll need to take a look at whether it will meet your needs.
