  • How Would This Work?

    Paragraph 3 refers to the "MSF for Agile template" for Scrum. Given that this is Microsft's interpretation of Agile, this is, no doubt, an MS-Word template?

    I believe the MSF for Agile "templates" are a set of work items, roles and processes allowing a team to use MS's version of an Agile process. I don't know how closely their Scrum template approximates what's taught in the CSM, though.

    Deborah is accurate with her description of how process templates are implemented within Team System. Process templates FAQ. It's expected that an enterprise will take the OOtB template and assuage it to accommodate the local process.

    Also, Conchango produces an independent, free SCRUM for Team System process template. This is the only Team System SCRUM template I'm aware of.

    Thanks Jeff.

    Are you familiar with both the Conchango plug-in and the CSM course? Can you tell us how closely they match?
