Real World TFS: Tips for a Successful Team System Implementation
So you've decided that Visual Studio Team System & Team Foundation Server is going to bring your organization added value
(because it will :)) but what do you do now? Please join Ed Blankenship as he covers the 2.5 years of successful implementation
of VSTS and the experience of that journey at Infragistics, the world's leading maker of software development tools. The session
intends to cover each phase of the implementation of all affected areas for a smooth adoption: Version Control, Builds, Work
Item Tracking, global deployment, moving multiple teams, training, automated testing, migration from legacy systems, and integration
with other systems and TFS. The goal will be to go through at a high-level of what it takes to make you successful by learning
from the challenges and obstacles overcome. We'll also look in the future with VSTS 2010 and see how strategic planning will
help make a successful adoption of the new features in the upcoming 2010 release. The session is led by a Microsoft MVP (Team
System) & Champ who has been in the trenches during the whole implementation.
