I'm using TFS 2012 and VS 2013. It's an existing project with few customization in process template. Due to this when I try to enable Code Review and Feedback features, it gives error.

Two questions:

  1. How can I add these features in existing customized process template?
  2. How can I download existing process template for customization? Process Template Manager only downloads the server version not the current project's version.

Another issue is my project's common process configuration file is not complete. below is the text im getting.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<CommonProjectConfiguration>
  <RequirementWorkItems />
  <TaskWorkItems />
</CommonProjectConfiguration>

There are few changes suggested on msdn but this file doesnt has much information. How can i get valid file?

Below is the error list i'm getting;

[Error] TF400654: Unable to configure Planning Tools. The following element contains an error: RequirementWorkItems. TF400517: The value of this element is set to: Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.StoryPoints.

  • What error message are you getting? It could be useful to [edit](http://stackoverflow.com/posts/30107023/edit) your question to insert it. – lfurini May 07 '15 at 16:48
  • Have you followed this post: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff432837.aspx ? If so, what problems do have. There are different approaches you can take depending on the exact problems - for our TFS, bringing the process template close enough inline to what TFS expects, hitting the button and then changing it back worked. – DaveShaw May 07 '15 at 21:58
  • @DaveShaw, yes i've checked the link. Further i've updated the question with error list. – Mohsin Shahzad May 08 '15 at 06:20
  • Do you have `StoryPoints` and `StackRank` fields in your `User Story` WITD and `Remaining Work` and `Activity` in your `Task` WITD. Try adding those and upgrading again. – DaveShaw May 08 '15 at 20:31
