If you want to modify your team system project, you really need to get comfortable with the process template.

You can download a template editor from http://www.imaginets.com.

Once you’ve got the template editor, your first step is to download either the Agile or CMMI default process template to your local machine.

On the tool bar within Visual Studio, go into the Team menu, Team Foundation Server Settings, Process Template Manager. Choose your template and click download. This automatically creates a folder and the xml template is inside the folder.

Next, go into the Process Template Editor, click open, navigate to where you downloaded the default template and click open.

Now, let’s say you want to modify the workflow for tracking a bug.

Double-click on Work item tracking to expand the directory, then click on Work Item Type Definitions. You will see Bug, Task, Quality of Service Requirement, Scenario and Risk. Open the bug work item definition, click on the work flow tab and you will see there are 3 default values (Active, Resolved and Closed). Also, you will see there are 6 default transitions (from active to resolved, resolved to active, resolved to closed, active to closed and closed to active).
