Task board cards

Easily create HTML task board cards from work item queries or selected work items with fully customizable XSLT template and print them from your browser.

The XSLT file to be used can be specified in: Tools > Options > Scrum Power Tools > Task board cards xslt file

Here you can specify a full TFS path of an XSLT which resides in TFS or a full path from the local file system.

The cards will be generated from an XML file containing the work items and the specified XSLT file, the default XSLT will be used when none is specified.

The generated HTML file containing the task cards will be opened in an browser from which it easily can be printed.

The XSLT file can easily be changed by modifying the default XSLT file which can be found in the temp directory of the current user which always contains the currently used XSLT file and work items XML after creating the cards.

The files can be found in %TMP%\ScrumPowerToolsTaskBoardCards or the ScrumPowerToolsTaskBoardCards directory in the current users temp directory.

Work item review window

The work item review window allows for easy reviewing of changeset items linked to a specific work item (User Story, Task etc.) by right clicking on a work item from for instance the result of a team query.
