By design, Urban Turtle can work with any TFS process template, whether it is a widely available template such as Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum or a custom template built specifically for your organization. Out of the box, for compatibility with existing process templates, Urban Turtle supports MSF Agile 5.0 (French and English), Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 and Scrum for Team System 3.0.

Support for TFS process template is based on external configuration mapping files which can be managed by administrators. For instance, adding support for your own process template only required to create a new mapping file and didn’t involve any changes to the application itself. Anybody who understands XML can do this. The XML configuration mapping file is located at:

Although we have yet to release formal documentation for the mapping files, we do provide support should you wish to customize Urban Turtle to better fit with your current process template.
