• This one is about the creation of a project and the realization of a task with a code review. Both processes use the WINetwork to ease the communication and synchronization of Work Items.
• Use of the Recycle Bin.
• An example (in French) of a real project.

I should have disabled the ClearType font antialiasing for the Video Capture, looks ugly because of it…

One last thing, and not the least, if you want to know how the whole thing works internally, check out this XML file. It defines what type of Work Items we can create in respect of the hierarchy, and also describes all the Work Item Network Models I told about in this post.

Anyway, as I told in previous posts, hierarchy in Work Items are a must for us, so we had to develop an application which allow people to create Work Items in a hierarchical way.

To make the application works, all you have to do is create a “ParentWI” integer field!

There are some features like the Recycle Bin one that is just cool for everyday use. As you can’t destroy a Work Item, I created a Recycle Bin one where all the Work Items people don’t need any more are stored. I also change the Area Path of the Work Item when it’s moved there, to get it out of every scope.

Here what the application looks like.
