How do you ensure that you are focusing your attention, efforts and resources on the highest-priority requirements, while managing change and cutting costs? Visual Studio provides teams with the ability to effectively manage requirements and collect feedback from customers. The new features in Team Foundation Server open an new world of possibilities to effectively manage requirements and drive customer feedback into the system to help prioritize and understand customer needs. We will show you how to gain cost savings, improve business processes, and increase efficiency with Microsoft’s ALM (application lifecycle management) strategy and toolset of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server, while improving quality and delivery of modern applications.

- How do you ensure that you are focusing your attention, efforts and resources on the highest-priority requirements, while managing change and cutting costs? Visual Studio provides teams with the ability to effectively manage requirements and collect feedback from customers. The new features in Team Foundation Server open an new world of possibilities to effectively manage requirements and drive customer feedback into the system to help prioritize and understand customer needs. Level 100 Description:Introductory and overview material. Assumes little or no expertise with topic and covers topic concepts, functions, features, and benefits.
- Won’t cover dev/build/…Assuming an understanding of Agile and Scrum
- Software development in enterprises and business organizations is a cross-functional undertaking. Barriers and chasms between the cross-functional teams that need to integrate in delivering software are the top impediments that hinder value delivery. Such impediments are usually a manifestation of rigid processes, ineffective collaboration tools, and development practices that do not take advantage of the advances in technology and opportunities to better integrate teams.
- Note : the ALM circle/loop visual is commonly misinterpreted as implying a SCRUM affinity. The intent of the circle/loop is not to imply a SCRUM or Agile (Agile with a Caps A) alliance. The intent of the circle/loop visual is to reflect a continuous evolution of software investments and the notion of continuous value delivery. The Define, Develop, and Operate lifecycle phases and the impediments that can surface within/across them are methodology agnostic. Team barriers and boundaries result in value delivery impediments that adversely impact the entire software lifecycle from requirements definition to production deployment & operations, and continuous evolution to sustain new and incremental value delivery. The net adverse impact is increased cycle times in delivering value to take the business forward at the needed velocity.Presenter TODO : Select and drill down on an impediment in each of the lifecycle phases – Define, Develop, and Operate. Pick a mix of impediments that can be used to illustrate the following root causes : rigid processes (Ex : sequential/waterfall transition from development to testing)ineffective collaboration tools (Ex : lack of tools to enable continuous feedback loops with users, lack of integrations between tools used to manage development and operations workloads)development practices that do not take advantage of advances in technology and opportunities to better integrate dependent functions (Ex : not practicing acceptance test driven development, not using automated testing to validate business rules at the services layer, or DevOps practices to integrate development and operations teams in designing for operations and resolving production incidents)

- Best tool for the job, based on role
- Work items = artifact documentation, e.g. word template, predefined fields, sometimes predefined possible valuesQueries = Dynamic view, real time, of work items based on filter and criteriaReports = Reporting Services on SQL datawarehouse/cubeDocuments = pre-defined templates standardized for all and include XLS workbooks to be used to manage some of the workKanban + custom
- Work items = artifactsQueries = dynamic viewsReports = SQL reporting (delay)Sharepointdashboarding
- Also CMMIKanban boardPick the closest to your process and adapt
- Ba/ui…tool already familiar with
- Dev can see it in VSPO in web access…
- Solicit early feedback from your stakeholders to improve quality and delivery
- Want to use xls orpjt? Not a problem with bi-directional sync
- Vs2012 – user story/PBI then tasks in TFS , other levels would be in XLS, pjt or …Now included in vs2013
- Each team project is configured with one level of portfolio backlog using the Feature work item type. In addition, you can configure up to four additional levels of portfolio backlogs, In total, this provides you with seven levels from the top-level portfolio backlog to task. To access portfolio backlogs from an upgraded team project, you must configure them using the Configure Features wizard. Access to portfolio backlogs requires full access.
- Ordering – drag and dropEffort
- Forecasting based on velocity
- Based on dates, velocity and capacity
- Capacity report by assigned to
- Capacity report by activity type
- Drag and dropPersonnalize WIPStates
- Remember reports/queries
- VelocityBurndownCumulativeDepends on process template
- Modeling (Use, conceptual, activity, sequence, layer, etc.) Linked them to WI – done by architect/ba, can be viewed by dev in WI
- Few examplesCode duplicateCode metrics
- From Administration panel2012 now supports the concept of multiple teams within a team projects.A Team is responsible for an areaSpecify the areas and iterations a team owns and the dates for sprints to occur. Create customized home pages for teams. Define and manage team favorites and team alerts.See status and gain quick access to team favorites from a lightweight dashboard.
- Per teamprovide an area for fostering and capturing communication among team members, both near and far. Teams can discuss work in progress, ask questions, share status, and clarify issues that arise in real time.By using the team room instead of email threads, you automatically receive an audit trail of conversations and decisions
- Testing without a pre-defined scriptAgain quality faster
- SCOM – Service Center integrationCapture application issues in production and provide an actionable workflow between development and operations by leveraging System Center and TFS work items integration
