Question

I have installed TFS2012 on my server, now I need to achieve change tracking.I have explained the details below.

The whole idea of change tracking is, if I change the PBI/Requirement the all linked work items/bugs/impediments status should be changed or TFS should notify me in some way.

Was it helpful?

Solution

TFS will not automatically update one Work Item when a linked item changes. There is no functionality for that out-of-the-box. What you can do is configure an alert.

Or you can test whether the TFS Aggregator that exists for TSF 2010 (open source project) will work for 2012 (not officially supported). It can update child or parent work items when a workitem in the hierarchy changes.

What you want is not possible in TFS out of the box, but you can implement this with relative ease using a custom ISubscriber or a SOAP webservice. See the following answer on question regarding this.
