One of the topics that I talk about a lot with clients that are using Team Foundation Server for only source control is the power of the work item system. Many users are unfamiliar with work items and how they can be used effectively to help manage and control projects. Demonstrating the different ways of interacting with work items from Excel, Project, Team System Web Access portal as well as Visual Studio inevitably illuminates a few light bulbs regarding the capabilities of the work item tracking system in TFS.
To help out with the understanding I have created a hands-on lab for exploring work items. It is built upon the VSTS 2008 virtual image that is available from Microsoft. This provides you with a pre-configured ready to go environment that you can safely experiment with.
You can get the hands-on lab document with full instructions here: Work Item Hands On Lab
