Add an artifact or team artifacts

TFS 2017

Select the service of interest to get started adding new artifacts or objects. For example, to add work items, choose Boards or Work. Some artifacts—such as a product backlog, Kanban board, portfolio backlogs—are added when you add a team.

Prior to adding an artifact, make sure that you've selected the project and repository that you want to work in.

Add work items, queries, or other work tracking artifacts

You can quickly add a query or work item when working from a Boards or Work page.

From a Work page, you can add a work item from the menu of options as shown in the following image.

To add other work tracking artifacts, see one of the following articles:
