title: tfs 2015 portfolio backlog and source control
body: <p>We recently upgraded to tfs 2015. One of the features I'd like to implement is portfolio backlogs. We have a group of 7 developers split between 2 teams with a product manager for each team.</p>
  
  <p>I like the idea of a top level or "master" backlog where I can create epics and features as the IT Director, and let the product managers manage their own backlogs based on the priority of the epics/features.</p>
  
  <p>I configured portfolio backlogs using this <a href="https://www.visualstudio.com/docs/work/scale/portfolio-management" rel="nofollow">guidance</a>. For example we have a top level project called 'company' and areas under this project like 'company / web stores' and 'company / CRM'</p>
  
  <p>In the past we setup a project whenever we wanted a new source code repository. So we have 7 existing TFS projects.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how do we setup source code repositories to support our existing 7 projects with portfolio backlogs?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Current structure:
  Project 1 (backlog + source code)
  Project 2 (backlog + source code)
  Project 3 (backlog + source code)
  
  Desired structure:
  Company Backlog (Epics &amp; Features)
  -Team1 (PBIs + source code)
  -Team2 (PBIs + source code
  </code></pre>
