I have a TFS project setup with multiple teams. One of the team's backlog has disappeared even though it appears that everything is setup correctly. Let me detail it out:

I have the iterations setup for the team with the correct ones selected: Iteration Setup

As you can see, the current sprint is Sprint 5. I have stories in this sprint as can be seen below:

Stories

But when I view my backlog, nothing shows. What else should I check?

Area path of these work items and of the team? - jessehouwing
I didn't think the area paths mattered for the sprint board, but I'll check when I get back to my desk. - Matt Ruwe
It does as teams are bound to areas as well as sprints - jessehouwing
Then that's likely the problem. I'll check as soon as I can. Thanks. - Matt Ruwe
That was it - if you submit your comment as an answer, I'll accept it - Matt Ruwe

What is shown on the Sprint/Iteration Board is governed by 2 things:

  1. The Iteration Path's which are enabled for the team
  2. The Area paths that are enabled for the team

If the template has been customized there is a third option, which not many people know about:

  1. Instead of Area path a custom field can be specified. This is the so-called Team-Field.
