Check current process template in TFS

Question

I have a project that I don't remember the process template version I'm using because I didn't pay attention to the version on creation. How can I check the process template version of a project hosted on Team Foundation Service (http://visualstudio.com)?

I was able to find the differences between the process templates themselves:

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms400752%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms400752%28v=vs.120%29.aspx

But I was unable to find a comparison of the individual process template versions. Can someone point the diferences between Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum from version 1 through version 3 for example?

Answer 1

The process template is automatically upgraded to latest. So whatever version you started with, the current process template is latest. Currently,

• If Scrum, 3.0
• If MSF for Agile, 7.0
• If MSF for CMMI, 7.0

btw, IF you don't know the process template then, It can be known by observation.

Answer 2

The ProcessGuidance option works only if you have integration with Sharepoint.

So if you don't have the integration you can use the sql query in this link to find out the process template. You need to run it against the TFS db.

Answer 3

Under Documents/ProcessGuidance there is a document called ProcessGuidance.html click on it and it will say what type it is.
