Visual Studio Team Services Extension to summarize TFS backlog stats: story points, time invested and more
Scrum Info
VSS/VSTS extension that provides information on backlog items, aggregating SP, #items, work
Version History
0.1.x - 1.0 MVP, functionality just works :)
Limitations: Information appears in a popup. Tasks need to be visible and selected to be counted too.
(Future: 2.0 - Integrate the scrum info numbers in the side panel of VSS, count tasks inside PBIs without being visible)
Usage
Go to the backlog, select as many PBI/tasks that you need to count (open the PBIs for the tasks to be counted), right click on any of them and select the Scrum Info option of the context menu.

In TFS is not possible to count SP, work, effort.
