Released a new Codeplex project: WITSynchronizer
Working with many clients on ALM and development processes I am often in a situation like this: I create a Process Template for the client and then create a Team Project based on it. The Team Project will become the "reference Team Project"...
Modifying Work Item Type definition using the Object Model
I'm in the process of easing the installation of the Work Item Creator. To do that, I wanted to detect in runtime if a given Team Project doesn’t have its Work Item Types (WITs) supporting hierarchy and then asking the user to add them. It’s...
A change in handling Hierarchy
My team came up with a request that looked at first « easy to code » but which turned out to be a real pain: managing order in siblings. As I wrote in a previous post , I was using the Work Item's Links (to link a son with its father)...
WI Creator and WINetwork in action !
I've made some videos of the WICreator application, used with the WINetwork system. Check them out, I think they worth it! This one is about the creation of a project and the realization of a task with a code review. Both processes use the WINetwork...

Getting Work Items from the Store
There're few things I want to share about the WorkItemStore::GetWorkItem() method. First, it may sound clear for everybody, but: WorkItem a = wis . GetWorkItem ( 10 ); WorkItem b = wis . GetWorkItem ( 10 ); The instance a and b won’t be the...
Simple way to create Work Item Hierarchy
Create a custom field in all your concerned Work Items named "ParentWI" for instance, of type integer. Now, say you want to link two Work Items, the method will looks like: public void LinkWorkItems ( WorkItem parent , WorkItem son ) { RelatedLink...
Hierarchy in Work Items
Relationship between Work Items is something important to me. The first thing that is obviously missing is a sense of hierarchy. Hierarchy is everywhere in life, so it is in a project management. Of course you can live without this notion in Team System...
Work Items, an urgent need of evolution!
The development team I'm working on moved to Team System in September 2006. The shift from what we used before was pretty huge, mainly because we weren't using SCM at all ("WinMerge rulez!" you may say). Of course, things had to evolve...
