@Eric - This is exactly how the field should be used. The idea is that you can use the Backlog Priority on Tasks to prioritize the tasks appropriately under each PBI/Bug. The queries are designed to respect this field in this manner.

Another issue I have is ordering/prioritizing Tasks within a PBI. I don't always input the tasks in the order I want them done in.

The task has a Backlog Priority field which I'm not sure what to use it for. In an expiriment I used this field to order the child tasks within a PBI and then I clicked "Column Options" in the child task pane of my PBI to display that field and order by it.

Though this works for my case, am I messing something up by using the Task "Backlog Priority" field in this manner?

What are you thoughts on this?

Thanks

I'm not familar with the Scrum Solution Start from Project so I can't comment there.

I'd love to hear more about your scenarios and why you're interested in pulling Project into the mix. Shoot me an email directly and we can chat offline.

Thanks.

Thanks Aaron. I just purchased your book. Our team is transitioning to TFS and Scorm at the same time. Management wants to be able to view progress through a MS Project 2010 file. I scanned the book and didn't find any references to Project 2010 integration with the Scorm 1.0 process template. Can you help point me in the right direction of how this could be accomplished. I did though find an interesting Project plugin called

Microsoft Project 2010 Scrum Solution Starter

Has anyone you know used the Scorm 1.0 TFS process template and this Microsoft Project 2010 Scrum Solution Starter plugin within the same project?

Thanks

Hi Aaron,

I'm looking forward to reading this book, since the topic of using TFS for agile development is very much on my mind :-)

By the way, your link above does not work (title shows the link to Amazon, but the href points to an editing page on your blog).

Kindest regards, Mikkel
