Process Template Plug-Ins
Process template plug-ins are components that run when a new team project is created. A plug-in sets up required files or configures data for its area. Microsoft provides six plug-ins with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System: Work Item Tracking, Classification, Windows SharePoint Services, Version Control, Reports, and Groups and Permissions. Each plug-in can be modified to customize a process template. Except for the Classification plug-in, plug-ins can also be deleted to customize a process template.
