Requirements & Team System

April 20, 2008 Apr 20, 2008 04/20/08
Brian Harry
Team System is recognized for many of its strengths.  One area that I think people often don't grasp the power that Team System brings is in Requirements Management.  We don't currently have a product that we sell for the explicit purpose of requirements management but none-the-less can play a central role in a powerful requirements ...

Brian Harry
I meant to blog about this before I went on sabbatical, but you know how it goes - the best laid plans... A couple of months ago OpenMake released support for TFS in their Meister cross platform build and deployment product.  This product integrates with TFS's Build capability to enable you to build & deploy applications that include ...

A new home for Visual Studio Hotfixes

April 19, 2008 Apr 19, 2008 04/19/08
Brian Harry
We've been publishing hotfixes for general download for a year or so now.  Although it has been reasonably popular, it never took off (in terms of publishing or downloads) the way I had hoped.  Part of the problem, I believe, is that the advertising/download solution we had was not very conducive to finding what you want.  We ...

Due to my sabbatical, I missed the March Dogfood statistics.  In my absence, adoption has continued apace.  The team has been very busy making sure the server is behaving well and applying fixes when it is not. Looking at the graphs below, you can see that several of the statistics have really started to grow at dramatically higher ...

We continue in our effort to publish specs for features that are under development very early in the process so that we can incorporate your feedback before we are even done coding it.  We haven't published as many as I had hoped but we continue to emphasize the importance of it within the team and are starting to see some real momentum.&...

My sabbatical is almost over.  I've got one week left.  But at the moment, I'm taking a sabbatical from my sabbatical :).  I'm in Redmond for the next two weeks to attend our MVP summit and some other important meetings.  After that I'll be back on the farm for a week and then back to work for good.  When I'm all done...

SOX Compliance with Team System

April 5, 2008 Apr 5, 2008 04/5/08
Brian Harry
I frequently get asked about how Team System can help with SOX compliance.  Unfortunately, the answer is not simple.  SOX relates to the management of transactions t hat affect assets and is undertaken with the help of a qualified appraiser who defines a risk management framework for your business.  Some of the risks man very ...
