Enhancing Agile Portfolio Management experience with Backlog Mapping

Yesterday the Team Foundation Service team released the Sprint 50 build, and one of the features shipped is the Backlog Mapping.

Nothing too big or hard to explain: if you are creating a Portfolio within Team Foundation Service, you would surely get a flat list of Features and a flat list of PBI/User Stories.

With the Backlog Mapping (which is just a pane on the right side), you can drag&drop the PBI you want to be child of a certain Feature, and it is going to be automatically linked.

It is a very nice and effective feature, which combines a strong User Experience with a tangible result.
