I cant find any info on it.

Do any of your customers use Team Foundation Server 2010?

   We use TFS 2008, and are planning to upgrade to 2010 in April.
   

   To integrate with AgileZen, we wrote a small service that regularly polls AgileZen via the REST API and syncs the new stories and changes to stories into TFS as work items. We added fields in TFS to accommodate some of the extra data that is available in AgileZen, like color, story number, blocked flag, ready flag, etc. We also had to make changes to the workflow in TFS.

   This works very well, although it was tricky to write. Our biggest problem is that the API is one way, which means that stories can only be added or moved via AgileZen.

   Hi Adam,

   I'm glad Steven was able to tell you a bit about how our current API can work with TFS and the good news is the new full version API will be coming out soon. So it will no longer be only one way :)

   Sincerely,

   Mary

   Hi Steven

   Thanks for this info... any chance you could be a little more specific. I want to regularly demo AgileZen during my Team Foundation Server sessions, then I would like to be able to get my conference attendees to go to a URL on your site, after my session.

   Can you give a URL showing the steps?

   For example:
   - Open VS 2010
   - use the TFS Power Tools
   - add these fields to the "User Story" work item. eg. xxx, yyy
   - etc.

   Hi Adam,

   You had asked about other customers who use TFS and I wanted to let you know about our new API Forum where our users can share their import/export tools. One of them has posted their code they use to import from TFS here: http://help.agilezen.com/discussions/api-forum/8-tfsupload
   Please let me know if you have any other questions :)

   Sincerely,

   Mary
