58.10. Summary

In this chapter you saw how Team Foundation Server can help you get the work done by integrating the different roles involved. The project managers will be filing and monitoring work items in either Excel or Project, while architects, developers, and testers will be working with the Visual Studio Projects using the version control features, easily relating changes to their assigned work items. Optionally, after each change a team build will be triggered. TFS will be monitoring everything and generating metrics for reports that can be viewed through the different interfaces like Visual Studio, Team Portal, and Team System Web Access. At the end of the chapter you saw how the whole process can be customized by modifying the process templates and work item types to better suit each organization's needs.
