difference between Product Backlog Item and Feature in Team Foundation work item types

Question

I have a question about Microsoft Team Foundation. In Visual Studio, Team Explorer, I can create a new work item. Work item types here are dictated by your team\'s chosen proces

Answer 1

I had the same doubts as OP and my thoughts has been aligned with @josant answer, which is very reasonable to me.

On the other side I'm using the Hundhausen book[1] as a reference for adopting TFS+Scrum.

He said things like:

A feature is a discrete unit of functionality that delivers value to the user or business. A PBI may be large enough to have several features.

and then:

A feature may break down into multiple scenarios. A scenario is a narrative that describes a workflow or sequence of steps through the feature that exercises one path toward achieving an expected result.

and continues developing these ideas.

To me, Hundhausen seems to be talking about use cases[2], but still I feel his proposal some counterintuitive, neither seems TFS would be guiding to this analysis method orb I found it referenced in the scrum literature I read.

Probably it's just a matter of choosing a convention you feel more confortable with and adhere to it.
