As a member of an Agile development team, you want to learn the best practices for setting up a new project on Team Foundation Server, so that your team can get the best possible start for delivering
better software, more frequently.
This pre-conference workshop has been developed as a level 200 event to help get conference attendees up to speed with TFS and maximize their understanding of the product and its features prior to the ALM Forum kicking off. |
Course Abstract
Frequently Microsoft Team Foundation Server finds its way into organizations through well intentioned developers taking upon themselves to install and configure it. Unfortunately this usually leads to a very ad-hoc usage of the product that fails to deliver the real benefits of an integrated Application Lifecycle Management suite.In tIn this workshop, attendees will start by setting up a brand new Team Project on TFS 2013 and then proceed to configure everything required to get their team ready for their first iteration.
Some of the key topics include:
- Entering our requirements and setting up our portfolio backlog
- Configuring our two teams with independent backlogs and taskboards
- Introducing the team members to the appropriate tools for their role
- Fostering collaboration using Team Rooms and adding users and events
- Preparing version control for our developers to get started
- Getting QA ready to kick off with their first test plan
- Leveraging the out of the box reports and creating ad-hoc reports
