Remove TFS process template customizatons


I'm trying to migrate from our on-premise TFS (2013.2) to Visual Studio Online (VSO). One of the requirements from VSO is that you cannot use customized process templates.

My predecessor added few fields to few work item types wich I now have to remove, I don't care if I lose the data in those fields, just keep the standard ones.

I've tried few suggested methods but I'm not familiar enough with TFS to understand what I am doing :)

How can I remove those customizations?

I'm using OpsHub and following this guide: http://www.visualstudio.com/get-started/migrate-team-projects-vs


Solution

  • You need to do a few things...

    1) identify your process template

    User Story = MSF for Agile Requirement = MSF for CMMI Product Backlog Item = Scrum

    2) Connect to VSO and download the relevant process template.

    3) Use "witadmin.exe" to upload the defaults for Work Item Types, Categories, and Process

    You should then be on a comparable template.
