This post is the second post out of Five that builds the TFS 2010 Work Items Basic Guide. See the first post: “TFS 2010 Work Items Basic User Guide – Introduction”

On this post I will show different ways to create new work items from the Team Explorer 2010.

In order to show the Team Explorer in Visual Studio click on its icon.

There are two main methods to create Work Items, from the Team Explorer --> Work Items menu or from the Team tab.

In order to create a new work item from the Team Explorer --> Work Items menu do the following:

Right click the Work Items menu item choose the "Add Work Item" and choose the Work Item type you like to create from the list of Work Item types.

In order to create a new work item from the Team tab do the following:

Click the Team tab choose the "Add Work Item" and choose the Work Item type you like to create from the list of Work Item types.

The result of both methods is the same, a new form of the chosen Work Item type.

Have Fun!!!
