How to include user-stories from multiple TFS projects in a single sprint

At my organization we’re using TFS 2015 for source control and ALM. We have TFS projects for each distinct business capability e.g. there is a TFS project for ‘Risk Management’ and one for ‘Account Management’. This team project structure was setup many years ago.

We have a set of requirements that require enhancements spanning multiple business capabilities (and therefore multiple TFS team projects). How do we include PBIs (user-stories) from multiple TFS projects in a single sprint? This appears to be a limitation of the tools. If this cannot be done, are there some alternative approaches that have worked well for anyone?

Thanks

As you've discovered it's not possible to have work items shared between team projects. These days many people advocate a strategy of setting up and single team project and using a combination of Areas, Iterations and Teams to manage work.

However migrating to such a strategy can be time consuming. As an interim step, you could create a new team project, then branch the appropriate code in to that project.

Use the new team project to manage the work and then you can decide if this is a temporary fix, or the start of your migration to a new structure.
