In this Blog we will discuss about a new VSTS extension "VSTS TeamProject Monitor (Project List)" developed by Canarys a Microsoft DevOps Consulting company. The extension allows you to view the total number of team projects created for an account, and option to delete one or more Team projects at one go.
Below are the feature of this VSTS extension:

  • Lists all the active Team Projects
  • Display Process Templates used for creating the respective Team Project
  • Displays the Version Control type the Team Project uses
  • Total Work items count for the project
  • Option to delete one or multiple Team Projects by selecting the checkbox
  • Searching the team Projects by Title
  • And option to create a New Team Project from the same UI
To access the tool, browse to the VSTS Marketplace and search for the VSTS TeamProject Monitor or browse the below URL. You should see as shown below to get started.

Click on Install and choose your VSTS Account to which this extension has to be installed. And click Continue.


Once the account and permissions are verified click on Confirm button.


Once the extension is installed, click on "proceed to the account" button.


In our VSTS account click on settings or Gear icon and you can see Project List as below. Click on it


This will display the list of projects with meta data information and also facility to select multiple Projects and delete at one go.


You would have created lot of projects, may be you are testing one of your extension, doing R&D, or you are trainer/consultant and create projects for demo purpose. This extension will help to clean your VSTS account with unwanted Projects with less effort and time. Just image if you had delete 100 Team Projects one by one how much frustrating it would be. "VSTS TeamProject Monitor (Project List)" is helpful in this scenario.
