Does Team Foundation Server support “packaging” of work-items?
Frage
Consider this scenario:
- The project manager orders 10 bug fixes from the developer team.
- 10 work-items are added to
Team Foundation Server
. - These work-items are then put in an order-form.
Would it be possible to automate the last step? Something like creating a bag of work-items that can then be pulled into a Word
document?
Lösung
Sounds like something WordToTFS would help you with.
It's not yet fully automated, but you can import a specific list of work items and merge them into a document.

Keep an eye on upcoming ALM Rangers Word4TFS plugin: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/willy-peter_schaub/archive/tags/tfswp/
Commercial offering: TeamSpec
Might be worth downloading the trial version and seeing if it does what you want.
You can connect MS Word and TFS using following tool:
The TFS client includes plugins that can open work items in Excel - you can embed the Excel table in a Word document. In that way you could pull a known work-item-query's results into a Word document.
(Not sure if this is really a programming question, though...)
