TFS 2012: Add the "effort" field to the "backlog" page

The default "Backlog" page on TFS 2012 looks like the screenshot below.
I'd like to add the "Effort" field to the "quick add" panel on the top (see arrow).

I know it involves changing xml templates, but I can't figure out the specifics.
How would I go about accomplishing that? :)

You need to change the AgileProcessConfig of the project:

Export the config file:

witadmin exportagileprocessconfig /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection /p:ProjectName /f:d:\temp\test\agileprocessconfig.xml

Edit the agileprocessconfig.xml by adding the Effort field:

<ProductBacklog>
 <AddPanel>
  <Fields>
    <Field refname="System.Title" />
    <Field refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.Effort" />
  </Fields>
</AddPanel>

Import the file back to your project

witadmin importagileprocessconfig /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection /p:ProjectName /f:d:\temp\test\agileprocessconfig.xml
