Visual Studio Team Services Extensions from the Rangers

With the Extensions feature going live this week as per the announcement during Connect, the VS ALM Rangers have been busy creating extensions. We have a total of 11 extensions that made it into the Visual Studio Team Services Marketplace when it launched, of which 4 are published under Microsoft DevLabs and the rest as community extensions.

  Microsoft DevLabs is an outlet for experiments from Microsoft, experiments that represent some of the latest ideas around developer tools. Solutions in this category are designed for broad usage, and you are encouraged to use and provide feedback on them; however, these extensions are not supported nor are any commitments made as to their longevity.

  @prithiv, during the first "request" of this extension (after installing), new Query is created under Shared Queries folder named "Scrum Report". By default this query gets all working items that were changed in the last day and which status is in (In Progress,Done,New,Open). Furthermore report is grouping results by member and work item type. If you want, you can freely change query definition to show weekly changes, to filter only specific work item type or specific members etc. Whatever you define it will at the end group them by Member and WI type and show the results in appropriate view.
