Has anyone found a way to visualize when a task is blocked on the TFS 2012 task board? It would be great if I could find a way to change the visualization (color, etc). I saw a couple of requests on the VS board which I voted for, but was hoping someone might have found a hack =)

You could write a tfs 2012 web access plugin. Tiago Pascoal wrote a good example of one - Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer - it adds a number of things (including task id) to the board. Changing the color should be extremely easy once you can figure out if a task is blocked.

  • TFS 2012 update 2 will support tags (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2013/01/30/announcing-visual-studio-2012-update-2-vs2012-2.aspx) meaning you can now add [Blocked] to your bug titles and have it appear as a tag off to the side – Betty Feb 02 '13 at 00:03
