How to: Add New Work Items
To track the different types of work that must be completed, you can add different types of work items to your team project. For example, the MSF for Agile Software Development process includes a Bug work item that is used to track product defects. Which work item types are listed depends on which process template was used to create the team project. For more information, see Finding and Using Process Guidance.
