问题
Still new to VSTS. Sometimes work or requests come in and our team needs a way of sorting these into areas that will become projects, but not immediately. Can I create a task without first creating a new team project?
Also, is there a way to see different projects at a higher level than the tasks in one view on a kanban board? Ive seen some delp docs on dashboards etc, but everything including tasks are all scoped to a team project. While this makes sense to have these things for a project, but what about higher level views? At any one time, there might be 4-5 different projects being worked on as well as 2-3 different things that are not part of a project yet. Maybe VSTS isnt the place for these more general items, but a generic kanban board?

The term "team project" is kind of an antiquated name that doesn't do a great job of accurately describing its purpose. Think of a "team project" as a portfolio of related applications rather than something for a single team, or a single project.
The most common way to address is this to keep everything in a single team project. There are a lot of things that don't cross team project boundaries, and trying to force that behavior is a recipe for frustration.
Within a team project, you can create Teams. Each team can have its own backlog, its own iteration schedule, etc. Teams are assigned an area path that they own. If a work item is under their area, it's assigned to that Team.
If you have Team A's area path set to FooProject/Team A, then it belongs to that team. A work item under FooProject/Team A shows up on that Team's backlog.
From there, you can adjust security permissions and such so that if a person isn't a member of a given Team, they don't have access to see or manipulate other teams' work items.
