• Open the Visual Studio 2012
• In the Connection to Team Project dialog box, click Servers.
• In the Add/Remove Team Foundation Server dialog box, click Add.
• In the Add Team Foundation Server dialog box, provide the details of your TFS instance, and then click OK.

•      In the Add/Remove Team Foundation Server dialog box, click Close.
•      In the Connect to Team Project dialog box, select the TFS instance you want to connect to, select the team project collection you want to add to, and then click Connect.

•      In the Team Explorer window, click New Team Project.

Add Users to a Team Project

•      Open VS 2012 >> go to team explorer >> click Home Button >> Settings

• Click Group Membership, it will open a web page. (http://"TFS Server"/tfs/"Team Project Collection"/"Team Project Name"/_admin/_security )

             Substitute the values for "TFS Server", ""Team Project Collection" and " Team Project Name".

• Sign In As “Admin User” , or else you will not have enough privilege to assign the team members

•      Click Teams Group (VBlog Team) and add members one by one.

• Add the same group("VBlog Team") to “Contributors”, or else they can’t add, modify …etc. 

                once we have added  members to tha VBlog Team , add that team to other gorups ("Contributors",   "Reader" and etc)
