Team Foundation Server Global Workflows

A new concept was introduced for work item type definitions and process templates called global workflows, which simplify the Project Server and Team Foundation Server integration. Global workflows are not dedicated to this integration only, but can be used in other scenarios as well.

Global workflows define a certain set of fields and rules that should exist on every work item type, even if not defined in the work item type definition. Global workflows can be scoped to either a team project or a team project collection. Global workflows can also define global lists that should exist and be used by fields defined in the global workflow fields.

Global workflows are used for several Project Server integration-specific fields that are needed and simplify the process of easily defining those fields. Those administrators able to customize work item type definitions need not worry about specifying the fields defined in the global workflow, which simplifies maintenance of those definitions. If you are customizing what fields are mapped to Project Server, you may also want to make appropriate customizations to the global workflow for your team project collection as well.

You can find out more about Global Workflows by reading the MSDN article at http://aka.ms/TFSGlobalWorkflow.
