Agenda:
20 mins - Pizza, Coke and Networking
60 mins - Team Foundation Server (TFS) for Successful Project Management by
Adam Cogan
Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS) provide tools, templates and reports to
help you monitor and support your software development processes. TFS is an advanced source and work item
tracking system that easily allows you to create and assign work items such as tasks and bugs as well as
allowing you to automate builds and extensive reporting capabilities. TFS can provide metrics that
indicate project health, code auditing and releases are more easily monitored. VSTS is designed to help address many of
these traditional problems faced by project managers. It does so by providing a set of integrated tools to
help teams improve their software development activities and to help project managers better support the
software development processes.
During this session we will cover the lifecycle of creating work items and tracking of releases using
Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server. Key areas include Process management, Security
and permissions, Centralized work item management, Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Office Project
integration, Metrics and reporting as well as the Project portals available on SharePoint.
