- 5. What the heck is TFS? Why do I care about VSO? New Agile Planning and Collaboration Features New Testing Services to Support Constant QA New Team Dashboards to Accelerate Collaboration
- 9. VSO <> Visual Studio on the web. Sorry VSO includes the entire TFS portion of the VS ALM platform hosted in Azure data centers You can leverage on-premise VS with TFS hosted in VSO VSO offers build, load testing, and release management! VSO services and Visual Studio can be licensed on a month- to-month basis
- 10. What rocks? VSO is super easy to setup VSO is likely FREE for you, or at least really inexpensive VSO gets updated every 3 weeks! What’s not awesome? Template customization is a bit limited (for now) VSO does not have SharePoint integration or OOB reporting* VSO is reliant on Azure (scary)
- 11. The more you know! -- TFS 2010 Went Out of Standard Support in July!
- 18. Quick hide/show parent hierarchies Drag and drop almost everything Reorder everything, including entire hierarchies Visualize PBI tasks on the Kanban Board Quick add PBIs directly to sprint backlogs Re-order tasks quickly
- 20. Orphaned stories don’t disappear when you switch views! Expanded Capacity Planning Activities Drag and drop sprint items everywhere to update delivery plans
- 22. Board Column: current Kanban board column the work item is in Board Column Done: False (Doing) or True (Done) Board Lane: current Kanban board swim lane
- 24. One-click bugs-on-the-backlog customization One-click adding of new backlog levels Set team-level working days from board settings
- 29. Use swim lanes to carve out special work queues Communicate handoffs with Doing/Done splits Use Card Styles to Visually Radiate Important Information Make important tags stand out Share your Definition of Done on the backog Show lots of additional fields on cards
- 30. Card Styles Show additional fields on cards More to come!
- 33. Test Pane Test Run Explorer Test retention policies Browser-based exploratory testing – coming soon!!
- 34. Share Test Artifacts (Print or email) Assign test cases to external testers Shared Parameters Test charts – for both test case and results
- 39. Create multiple dashboards Customize the dashboard contents Explore dashboard widgets Customizable chart colors Longer trend settings Sorry, VSO Only right now. But TFS 2015 will have it soon!
- 43. Team Project Rename! There’s a reason it took 10 years :-P
- 45. Don’t get too excited, I already revoked that token
- 49. Ask for it! They really listen https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/
- 50. Team Foundation Server Building Extravaganza 2015 with Chris Kadel Things like continuous integration and automated build are pretty ubiquitous in the industry today. Microsoft has changed the build system significantly in TFS 2015 and in this talk, we intend to take a journey through the changes and how to get the most value from the system. We'll spend time getting to understand the theory of Continuous Integration, as it pertains to value delivery and Dev-Ops. A Look at Team Foundation Server 2015 Build vNext with Paul Hacker Team Foundation Server (TFS) has a powerful build system for years. Nevertheless, the next version of TFS will introduce a completely new system. Wondering what this is about and why (again) belongs to something new to you? Join us to explore the next generation of TFS build system and learn more about the background, the technical implementation and the benefits (eg, Cross-Platform builds).
- 51. SpecFlow for Agile Teams with Alejandro Ramirez Acceptance Test-Driven Development is a test methodology that picks up where Unit Testing ends and can be leveraged to make testing a collaborative effort for the entire agile team. We’ll look at the setup, syntax, the roles of each agile team member in making it work and also at some strategies for using SpecFlow in a project. Agile Metrics that Matter with Clint Edmonson When it comes to development methods, lean and agile have clearly taken the lead. In the spirit of Kaizen, this session will take a look at the measures we can glean from agile teams, why the are relevant and interesting, and how we can use them to help our teams get even better.
