Triage workbook

  • Artículo

The Triage workbook lets you rank and assign bugs to be worked on for an iteration, also referred to as a sprint. Triage is the process that a team uses to review newly reported or reopened bugs, assign a priority and iteration to them, and assign a team member to fix them. Triage is typically driven by the product owner or the scrum master, with input from the team.

The default workbook query shows a flat list of all active bugs that are defined for the team project.

Note

When you open the workbook, choose Edit Workbook next to Server Workbook so that you can modify the workbook.

If the workbook is not available to you, open the Triage shared query by using Team Explorer or Microsoft Excel.

Bugs listed in the Triage workbook

Use the Triage workbook to manage active bugs. The Triage worksheet references the Triage team query, which is configured to find all active bugs for the team project. The following illustration shows an example of the workbook in Office Excel.
