  2. who am i?

  3. agenda • our vision • our roadmap

  4. our vision, To improve the productivity and predictability of software construction for teams of all sizes

  5. our approach • Create a modern ALM system that focuses on: • Collaboration through integration covering all roles • Timely and actionable feedback which reduces waste • Target the right tools for the job (IDE, Office, browser, specialized…) • Transparent agile processes

  6. our approach Storyboarding Backlog Management • Create a modern ALM system that focuses on: • Collaboration through integration covering all roles • Timely and actionable feedback which reduces waste • Target the right tools for the job (IDE, Office, browser, specialized…) • Transparent agile processes Sprint Planning & Execution Personalized Productivity Feedback Client Intellitrace in Production SCOM & TFS Integration

  7. Strong Track Record of Delivery vNext Developer <-> Architect Developer <-> Tester Developer <-> Stakeholder Developer <-> Operations Transparent Foundation

  8. tfs 11 • Cloud option • Performance improvements to MSBuild 4.5

  9. how do we increase the quality of requirements?

  10. telling the story - storyboard assistant • Integrates Business Stakeholders and Development Team • PowerPoint-based graphical design tools • Shareable & Version Controlled • Capture screenshots and create lightweight animations • Reusable element library

  11. Do you want more visibility into your agile projects?

  12. managing the product backlogleverage agile best practices Velocity progress • Accessed via Team Project Web Access • A single view of the current backlog of work • Dynamically re-order and group • Enable Product Owner to quickly prioritize work and outline dependencies and relationships Easily drag & drop to prioritize tasks

  13. sprint planning toolcapacity & sprint burndown Burndown progress • Enhanced work item management tools in Team Web Access • Tool pre-populates required data • Streamlines the association and update process • Effectively allocate work – balancing load with available capacity • Real-time feedback on updates to the plan Team capacity at a glance

  14. task board in team web accessupdate the status of work items visually (and touch-friendly!) Burndown progress Easily move tasks around

  16. who wants developers writing more code?

  17. team navigatormy work • Allows the developer to easily context switch • Packages all the open work • Save entire environment settings • Fix urgent bugs • Recall task, work is instantly restored in context and error-free • Resume where the developer left off

  18. unit testing runnercontinuous unit testing execution • Run tests in the background • Never pause and wait for test results • Support for multiple unit testing frameworks • Target both .NET and native C++ code • Combined with Test Impact Analysis • Most important tests are always run first, so failures appear in seconds.

  19. integrated code revieweliciting feedback from other team members • Shared knowledge across team • Code reviews can be set as a quality gate • Source changes highlighted and comments about the changes.

  20. integrated code reviewIn-line diff viewer • Multiple views • Old code in Red • New code in Yellow • Supports in-line comments

  21. code clone detectionreviews common code blocks exposing refactoring opportunities • Detect code blocks with common structure and approach • Search is semantic, not just literal • Detects ‘copy and paste’ errors • Detects code fragments with a common logical structure • Review common code and decide how to proceed

  22. can we get more of that valuable user feedback?

  23. client feedback toolexploratory testing • Support for rich text and images • Embedded in the view • Improves fidelity of feedback • Standard fields are pre-populated.

  24. client feedback tool Easily file new bugs Scope selected #of actions

  25. enhanced work item dialog

  26. exploratory testing Easily view previous sessions Create new exploration sessions

  27. but, what’s happening in production?

  28. intellitracein production?! • Short series of PowerShell commands • Historical Debugger • Full collection options • View requests and exceptions • Shows all events and calls

  29. system center & tfs integration • Capture application issues in production • Actionable workflow between development and operations • Ops can provide developers with: • IntelliTraceinfrastructure used for historical debugging • TFS work items

  30. additional resources • Other slide decks • .NET 4.5 – Dev Preview • Visual Studio – Dev Preview • Team Explorer Everywhere – Dev Preview
