Answer 1

You can download the .rdl file directly from the Report Server and edit it in the Report Designer, BIDS or SQL Server Data Tools BI or Report Builder. Since the MSF for Agile template uses a couple of fields that don't exist in the Scrum template (like priority) and since the status transitions differ between the Scrum Template and the Agile template you will have do to some work to ensure that the report can work with the Scrum template.

Scrum Template

The Scrum Bug status flow looks like:

New > Accepted > Committed > Done

And the scrum template uses the "Related" link to link a bug to a PBI or other Bug workitem.

Agile template

The MSF Agile bug status flow looks like:

New > Active > Resolved > Closed

And the agile template uses the "Related" or the "Affects/Affected By" relation.

Field Reference

There is an extended index of all fields used by the different templates. Some are shared, but each template also has a set of its own fields it uses.
