TFS & Visual Studio ALM – by Neno Loje

You are using Urban Turtle, and when opening the Planning Board or Task Board tab you receive the following error message:

Error Message: Errors in the configuration file currently prevent Urban Turtle from properly displaying some data (see more details).

Cause:

Urban Turtle supports the following process templates out-of-the-box:

• MSF for Agile Software Development (English and French version)
• Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 (English)
• Scrum for Team System v3

For other/customized process templates/work item types, you need to supply a config file.

Workaround:

• Locate the folder {ProgramFiles}\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Access\Web\UrbanTurtle\configuration\project’
• Copy the .XML file of an existing process that fits most
  (do not modify the original .XML files as those are removed during uninstall/upgrade)
• Change the copy of the .XML file to the values from your process template
• Enjoy Urban Turtle!

Note: If you are using "MSF for CMMI Process Improvement" you can contact Urban Turtle support and they will send you a compatible configuration file to drop in the config folder.

(Thanks to Mario Cardinal and the UrbanTurtle team for this support with this.)
