Work Item Tracking
The Work Item Tracking Plug-in defines a team project's initial work item types, queries, and work item instances. The plug-in name is Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.WorkItemTracking. The Work Item Tracking XML file is named workitems.xml and is located in the Work Item Tracking folder in the process template folder hierarchy. You can change the XML file and folder name if necessary.
In the XML file, specify one or more tasks and their dependencies. There are three key types of tasks to specify: work item types, work item queries, and work item instances.
Note
Team Foundation Server does not include a mechanism for the deployment of client-side plug-ins, policies, or other modifications. If you want to deploy plug-ins, policies, or other modifications to the Team Foundation client, you must use your own distribution and installation program.
