Extension summary

A tool to make Team Foundation Server Kanban board (Backlog Board) a better information radiator. Features

1: Allowing you to map prefixes in your PBI naming to decide what color the card should have. You have 11 colors to choose from and use what ever way makes sense for you. You can also color the cards on the taskboard the same way .

Example Expedite = ! Blocked = * Blue = CR Yellow = AT ................

2: it allows for items on the board to be handled as related. If two pbi:s have the same sequence of letters started by a # (Examples #123 or #COD ) hoovering one off the items will fade all unrelated items making it really easy to see where in the flow the related work is currently.
