Team Foundation Server is a great tool within the Ordina software factory
model. For now the final version of the guide "Team Development with Team Foundation
Server" is available on codeplex : http://www.codeplex.com/TFSGuide
Hereby the short summary (Thx to Steve Whang of the VSTS Inner Circle Team !!!)
-
Part I, “Fundamentals,” gives you a quick overview of team development with Team Foundation
Server. You’ll see the big picture in terms of your software development environment,
including the development and test environment. You’ll also learn the basic architecture
of Team Foundation Server.
-
Part II, “Source Control,” shows you how to structure your source code and manage
dependencies. It also shows you how to determine a branching and merging strategy
if you need isolation for your development efforts.
-
Part III, “Builds,” shows you how to set up team builds, how to produce continuous
integration builds for your development team, and how to drop scheduled builds to
your test team. It also discusses common problems and how to work around them.
-
Part IV, “Large Project Considerations,” show you additional considerations you need
to deal with when working with large projects.
-
Part V, “Project Management,” shows you how to use Team Foundation Server work items,
areas and iterations to streamline your development process regardless of what project
management approach you use.
-
Part VI, “Process Templates,” shows you how to get the most out of the process templates
and process guidance that is supplied with Team Foundation Server out of the box.
It also shows how you can customize the process templates, and make modifications
to work items and workflow to map to the software engineering process your team is
already using.
-
Part VII, “Reporting,” shows you how all of the other Team Foundation Server components
integrate their data store into a common reporting mechanism. You’ll learn how to
use the default reports as well as how to build your own custom reports.
-
Part VIII, “Setting Up and Maintaining the Team Environment,” removes the mystery
from Team Foundation Server deployment. You’ll learn how to choose between a single
server and multiple server deployment. You’ll also learn how to support remote development
teams and how to maximize Team Foundation Server performance.
-
Part IX, “Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server”, shows the changes that are coming
in the next version of Team Foundation Server. You’ll learn what new features are
planned as well as what features are going to be significantly improved. Some of the
changes impact the guidance we give elsewhere in this guide, so use this section to
improve your Team Foundation Server upgrade planning.
