Step 6 – Modify the Default Work Items

2. In the right pane, click the Default Work Items tab.
3. To create a new default work item type, click Add in the toolbar in the right pane.
4. In the Choose Type dialog box, select a work item type.
5. In the dialog box that opens, fill in the appropriate fields.
6. Click OK.
For example, you can remove the task Setup: Migration of Source Code by doing the
following:
1. In the Process Template Explorer, click Work Item Tracking.
2. In the right pane, click the Default Work Items tab.

The default task “Setup: Migration of Source Code” will no longer be created when this
process template is used to create a new project.
Step 7 – Modify and Manage Queries
In this step, you modify, add, or remove the default queries created at the time of team
project creation.

your query.
