Work Item Types

The default project templates provide predefined Work Item types that work well for many software development projects. You see such types as "Requirement", "Defect", "Change Request", and "Test Case". But keep in mind that Work Item types can represent literally anything you need them to represent.

In your planning, think about what kinds of artifacts you need represented and processed, and consider creating custom Work Item types for them. Work Item types are defined in the enumeration configuration file workitem-type-enum.xml (Administration Work Items Enumerations). For more information see Configure Enumerations.
