I'm happy to see that "Lots of trial and error with Report Designer." is listed in the Documentation chapter. Having stumbled accross most of the links listed above, I still find it very hard and time conusming to create good reports once you have changed the process template. IMO this is one of the weakest points in TFS that needs a lot more attention. Tools and documentation available are weak and/or not very user friendly. E.g.: Report Designer can only handle very simple MDX syntax in Design Mode and the editor of the Query View is very basic; e.g.: it doesn't show line numbers so you have to count the lines yourself when an error like "Query preparation failed. Query (49, 1) Parser: The syntax for 'SELECT' is incorrect. (msmgdsrv)" occurs.

The Report Builder is even worse: see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=866279&SiteID=1">http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=866279&SiteID=1.

I think you even advised NOT to use Report Builder at all: "We know there are perf and usability problems using Report Builder with TFS, so we don't recommend using it.(http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=766354&SiteID=1">http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=766354&SiteID=1
