  Hi I wanted to know if there is a plan for upcoming support for the newly released Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 process template?  Thanks.

  Hi Joel,

  WIM and PD are not reliant on any particular Template and should work fine with the new Scrum Template from Microsoft.

  Hi,
  
  I am running two team projects to compare the MSF Agile V.5 vs the new VS SCRUM process templates. These projects were setup the same way and have the same data and permissions.  PD works fine on the MSF team project out-of-the-box. But for the VS SCRUM 1.0 project, I had to spend some time working on the configuration and I'm still getting an error on the Remaining Work Trend widget:
  
  

  Query (1, 495) The '[Scrum_v3_WorkRemaining]' member was not found in the cube when the string, [Measures].[Scrum_v3_WorkRemaining], was parsed.

     at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdConnection.XmlaClientProvider.Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.IExecuteProvider.ExecuteMultidimensional(ICommandContentProvider contentProvider, AdomdPropertyCollection commandProperties, IDataParameterCollection parameters)
     at Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdCommand.ExecuteCellSet()
     at IRC.Gear.WorkItemManager.Dashboard.TfsDataProvider.TfsWarehouse.RetrieveRemainingWorkData(String projectName, Boolean isScrumProcess, IterationInfo currentIteration, TfsVersion tfsVersion)
     at IRC.Gear.WorkItemManager.Dashboard.TfsDataProvider.TaskDataProvider.GetRemainingWorkTrendData()

  
  
  NOTE: this is not a permissions issue as it works fine for the MSF project with the same account.

  Hi Bob,
  
  It looks like you have found a bug in the dashboard.  Because the Conchango Scrum template uses different fields for tracking remaining work (Scrum_v3_WorkRemaining vs. Microsoft_VSTS_Scheduling_RemainingWork), the dashboard needs to create a different warehouse query for scrum projects than it does for all other projects. 
  
  To determine if a project is a scrum project, the dashboard checks if a work item type named "Product Backlog Item" or "Sprint Backlog Item" exists in the project.  This worked fine prior to Microsoft releasing their own Scrum template which also included a "Product Backlog Item" work item type. 
  
  So it looks like our logic for determining if you are using the Conchango Scrum template no longer works for projects that use the new MS Scrum template.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

  By the way, to avoid confusion, this is 'Just Joel' - the guy who started the thread.  I did not join Telerik and did not just respond to Bob - that is a different Joel who works at Telerik. I did hit the same error - I was just too lazy to report the exception, instead I just started a vague thread asking when support would be added since it was obviously broken.  Thanks for reporting it Bob.  
  
  So,  I wanted to know if there is a plan for upcoming support for the newly released Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 process template? Thanks.

  Hello Joel Kotarski,
  
  Yes, we do plan on supporting this template out of the box like we do with Agile, CMMI, and Conchango Scrum.

  I'd like to place my vote for making this as high a priority as you can allow.  We are beginning to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 and I abhor the data-centric UI that Microsoft is so fond of - we might as well use Enterprise Manager pointed right at the database.  It's just all your data and the ability to edit every possible relationship on the screen at once.  There's no thought to user activity (adding user stories to a sprint, viewing and managing the progress of tasks during a sprint, etc).
  
  A user-centric or user-activity centric UI would be MUCH appreciated.

  Hi Michael and Joel,
  
  Another release of WIM is planned for December.  Unfortunately you will have to wait until then for this fix to arrive.

  I'm completely game as well for making this a high-pri vote.  My team utilizes it in several places to display status on our projects and one of the things that I very much dislike is that I'm slowly losing traction since most of my team is moving to the Visual Studio SCRUM 1.0 template.  I can't wait for this December release - my MSF Agile projects are starting to go away.
  
  By the way, I get a lot of hits via my blog I posted on Work Item Manager & TFS Dashboard and I'm dying to give shout out for the SCRUM 1.0 template support!

  Hello Chris,
  
  I can confirm that the bug has been fixed and will be included in the next release.  Work for the TeamPulse Q3 SP1 and the holiday season has caused a slight delay on the next WIM release though.  We will now be releasing early in January.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

  I'm dying for this too!  My teams are forging ahead with the MS Visual Studio 1.0 template, and making due with the limitations on the PD.  In addition to the PD error reported above, we can't find a way to get the Iteration Effort pie chart to reflect Work Completed.  The Task work item in this template only stores Remaining Work (unlike MSF for Agile 5.0, where the Task has Original Estimate, Remaining, and Completed).
  
  I'm eagerly awaiting the next release and full support of the new MS template!

  Hi Joel,
  
  Yes, we did release a new version with full support for the MS Scrum template.  You should be able to download it from your Telerik account now.
