New to this whole sharepoint world... have project server 2007 and TFS 2008 on seperate servers. When I go to the site features of the TFS to enable the "Features" project server requires they are not listed; all I have is "Team Collaboration Lists" listed so I am unable to activate those feautures. Is there a way to get those Project Server specific site features over onto my TFS sharepoint site?

Great article! Do you know if you can use TeamPlain Web Access with project server? It seems after integrating project server with TFS, you get the standard SharePoint interface. I want to use the TeamPlain Web Access interface with TFS and project server.

Neal, this is a great comment. I will take the opportunity to read it over in detail and implement in my current environment, very similar to yours except for the fact that I run WSS 3.0 in both instances instead of MOSS. Any special 'tips' toward this fact, will be pretty much appreciated.

hello Neil,
A very good article and very useful one for me.
I have a query, I will be thankful if you will be able to solve it.

In our company intranet we have integrated TFS and MOSS2007. As I read in this article is that each project site is created as a new site collection in MOSS, I did not find a single site collection for the projects in the compan. I have tried to find out the entry of SiteCollection for a particular project in MOSS from Administrative site, but I could not find such sitecollection. Eventhough I can access the projectsite collection through url in my browser.

Actually I want to access top level site's data of this project sitecollection into a custom webpart. But I could not being able to see the site collection in the list of site collection in MOSS.

Hi Neil,
I am working in similar environment where we integrate TFS and MOSS2007. There is no PS in picture.
As you said that for each project a separate site collection is getting created in MOSS. I have tried to see the Project collection in MOSS from administrative site, but I could not find any such site collection. For example...
My project site is http://projectMoss/sites/MyProject

As MyProject is a site collection created on MOSS I sould be able to see its entry in list of existing site collection on MOSS.
But I could not found such site collection there.
I want to access top level site of this collection in one of my webpart on the home page of my intranet site which is MOSS2007

Thank You very Much Neil.. my issue is a bit more basic.

I can't get SharePoint 2007, Project Server 2007, and TFS 2008 to install.
I get SharePoint and Project together kay.. but no success at all with TFS 2008.
Every attempt brings a new error from missing templates.. extensions.. userid issues..

Is there a documented procedure out there that for installaing these 3 applications on the same server ?

The red "X" is present because permissions must be set at each tier, you must grant the user access to SSRS and WSS sites independently.

Very good Neil!
In my opinion, VSTS is more complicated than it should be. I found Project Server 2007 much more easy to set up, diagnose and control. As you, I'm also from a partner that uses A LOT all Microsoft Technologies, and I'm in charge of our EPM environment. I've noticed that your "Reports" folder is marked with a red cross, do you know why? The same happens in my env!

Thanks for the article. I am an EPM Specialist for our organization here in Durban and am currently investigating the installation of the VSTF connector for one of our departments, so nice to see the WSS integration too in case we go down this route.

Hi Eric

I have not encountered anyone or even anything on the Internet relating to what you are trying to do. It does make sense to me why you would do this.
I will attempt to find a solution for you and let you know.

Neil, thanks for a very comprehensive guide. It was very helpful. I have a question about more detailed integration of the TFS and Project Server 2007.

My company is in the midst of planning of integrating TFS 2008 and Project Server 2007. Currently, TFS contains all production service requests in Work Items folder in the TFS. This is how the requests for application maintenance are entered by the tier support personnel. Work items are broken down by a specific maintenance project (App Maintenance, Imagewrite Maintenance etc.)

Project Server contains related project plans and all resource allocation information (through Project Central and Resource Central of the Project Server). The project plans published for the maintenance projects contain all tasks associated with the maintenance cycle (single request or potential application release). This helps us to allocate time per resource dedicated only to the maintenance project.

Is there a way of mapping Work items in the TFS (as they being submitted to the TFS on weekly basis) to project plans published in Project Server? Can you point me to a source of information on this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Eric Safin
