Installing the Visual Studio Scrum Process Template

I blogged before about the Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 Process Template. But how do you get it installed?

Step 1 – Download the template

The process template is hosted at the Visual Studio Gallery. The easiest way to download the template is using the Extension Manager in Visual Studio 2010. Open Visual Studio 2010, and from the main menu, select Tools | Extension Manager. Select the Online Gallery tab on the left side of the window, and search for ‘Scrum’. Select the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 Process Template from the list and click the Download button. Once the file has finished downloading, click Close on the Extension Manager window to close it.

Step 2 – Install the template
You have to install the process template on your local machine before you can import it into Team Foundation Server 2010. To do that, doubleclick on the MSI and follow the installation procedure. If you left all the default settings, the Process Template is installed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 folder.

Step 3 - Importing the template

Importing the process template into Team Foundation Server 2010 is the same as for all other templates. Open the Process Template Manager in Visual Studio 2010 by selecting Team | Team Project Collection Settings | Process Template Manager. Click the Upload button and navigate to c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0\Process Template.

Step 4 - Installing the Scrum Dashboard Feature
As a last step you have to install the Scrum dashboard feature. Therefore you have to copy the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Sharepoint.Scrum.wsp file found in the Project Portal folder to your Sharepoint server. Afterwards follow the procedure as described here to upload and install the wsp to your Sharepoint server.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
