Good,

first a disclaimer:

99.999% Of cases, the definition by default of a WorkItem is enough for a team. It is possible to modify the definition of a WorkItem does not mean that you should do so.

Now that you have thought if the definition of States has by default a WorkItem is necessary and you’ve come to the conclucsión that you need to modify it, then go ahead. For this we have some templates that you can install Team Foundation Server 2010, in this case we will work with the definition of a Task of MSF for Agile 5.0 (the formal definition of Agile on MSDN are available from here)) .

A Task has the following States

and for this series of posts, the initial idea is to add a new State called “proposed”.

For this we will work with the following software:

• Team Explorer 2010 or higher
