Configuring Urban Turtle for customized process templates
You are using Urban Turtle, and when opening the Planning Board or Task Board tab you receive the following error message:
Error Message: Errors in the configuration file currently prevent Urban Turtle from properly displaying some data (see more details).
Cause:
Urban Turtle supports the following process templates out-of-the-box:
- MSF for Agile Software Development (English and French version)
- Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 (English)
- Scrum for Team System v3
For other/customized process templates/work item types, you need to supply a config file.
Workaround:
- Locate the folder {ProgramFiles}\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Access\Web\UrbanTurtle\configuration\project'
- Copy the .XML file of an existing process that fits most
(do not modify the original .XML files as those are removed during uninstall/upgrade) - Change the copy of the .XML file to the values from your process template
- Enjoy Urban Turtle!
Note: If you are using "MSF for CMMI Process Improvement" you can contact Urban Turtle support and they will send you a compatible configuration file to drop in the config folder.
(Thanks to Mario Cardinal and the UrbanTurtle team for this support with this.)
