Scaled Agile Framework: Using TFS to support epics, release trains, and multiple backlogs whitepaper
Sep 11, 2014Gregg Boer
Summary
This post announces the publication of a whitepaper detailing how to use Team Foundation Server (TFS) to support Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) practices, specifically focusing on epics, release trains, and multiple backlogs. It explains that while TFS doesn't fully support all SAFe practices, it can implement many planning aspects. The whitepaper provides guidance on configuring and customizing TFS process templates (Scrum, Agile, CMMI) to enable SAFe support. It also notes that as of TFS 2015, out-of-box templates include these SAFe changes, making the previously downloadable SAFe-modified templates obsolete.
