Missing the SCRUM "backlog" and "board" tabs in TFS 2012


I've installed TFS 2012 Express on Windows server 2008.
Created new project, and choose the Scrum 2.0 process template.

From all the tutorials, I understand that I am supposed to have backlog, board and work items tabs.
However, I have only the work items. How do I get the two others?

Here: View Backlog link is missing from the TFS11 home page someone pointed that there is Web Access Permissions setting in the Administration page, but in the Administration page, I am also missing the web acess tab.


Solution

  • Agile Planning tool are not available in TFS Express. Under the "Agile/Scrum" section of the post it says:

    Product Backlog and Sprint Planning – these require Premium or Ultimate (see this post about enabling via the licensing feature)

    At the end of the article it also mentions:

    [UPDATE 6/7/2012] TFS Express does not include any of the Agile features. It is really focused on source control, build, and bug tracking. You can read more about it here.
