Visual Studio 2005 Team System: Mastering Software Project Management with Process Guidance and Office System 2003 Integration Beny Rubinstein Randy Miller Product Manager Program Manager Visual Studio 2005 Team System Microsoft Corporation Technical Breakout Session: DEV347

Goals In this session we will use Visual Studio 2005 Team System to project manage and build new functionality in the Adventure Works application. This session will also focus on some of the artifacts associated with the integrated process guidance, MSF, in Visual Studio 2005 Team System.

The Rules Have Changed From Anticipation (Define, Design, Build) To Adaptation (Envision, Explore, Adapt) ???????????

Agile vs. Formal Agile “Evolve and adapt” Ideal for Competitive Environments Rely on People Plan as you go Drawbacks: Project Plan can’t keep up with change Formal “Plan and optimize” Ideal for Regulated Environments Rely on Process Plan in advance Drawback: Project Plan becomes out of date or does not reflect reality Either way, Project Management is a lot of work

How to be Productive and Visible Randy Miller Program Manager Visual Studio 2005 Team System

A Good Start… Elements of Visibility What What people are working on What’s critical How does is relate? Data analytics How Work is changing hands It should be done “this way” Elements of Productivity What Up to date information Tools for the job How Get started as soon as I can Don’t remember, just work Lightweight Nothing gets in the way Customizable

Role of the Project Manager “A good project manager looks at a small number of really important elements and makes project decisions accordingly.”

The Fallacy of Real-Time PM Project Plans Capture a point in time Require context Cannot change by the minute Are an important management tool

Microsoft Solutions Framework Version 4.0

Microsoft Solutions Framework MSF offers guidance in how to organize people and projects to plan, build, and deploy technology solutions successfully and effectively

Methodware Magic Quadrant Gartner Research, 2003 Source: Gartner Research (August 2003)

Don’t Repeat Others’ Mistakes Ux Disconnected from Help Disconnected from Tools Route maps not obvious Content Tries to satisfy everyone, but pleases no one (sometimes agile, sometimes heavy) Mismatch of Tool Help, Templates and Guidance Too much content - overwhelming Doesn’t feel like a coherent, e2e whole Customization Had to customize to get started Weak examples when customizing Not always recognizable after customization Guidance not automated with workflow "Rational/RUP training is a big expense and methodology is a big thorn in our side. I hope you guys do it right."

Learn What Others Do Well Content organized for maintenance Clear metamodel Clear plug-in model Many navigation paths Graphical navigation

MSF (v4.0) is… The right content for the right person at the right time 1.An agile software development process 2.A formal software development process 3.Framework for customers and partners to implement custom software development process

MSF Integration is seamless Accessible/Embedded Exposed within Help Centralized Delivered via Team Foundation Server Current Updated from MSDN Customizable Extended by GSIs, ISVs, Enterprise PMOs Book series Addison Wesley & MS Learning

MSF 4.0 Goals Drive business success through business & technology alignment Ensure high quality solutions Handling the many facets of quality as defined by multiple stakeholders Handling the many facets of quality as defined by multiple stakeholders Accelerate delivery, reduce costs, minimize risks Improve team effectiveness

MSF adoption is gradual Organizational/Team – The team has decided as a unit to adopt some flavor of MSF (or your process) Grassroots – Individuals on the team find the practices useful and the process spreads by providing value MSF provides friction-free usage that doesn’t get in the way

MSF is extensible Framework – Build a process within the MSF meta-model, adopting pieces or all of MSF Agile or Formal Prototype – Using pieces or all of MSF Agile or Formal as a base to build your own process without the meta-model

MSF Process Model Structure

MSF 4.0 Key takeaways Two “flavors” out-of-the-box: Agile and Formal/Complete Fully integrated in Visual Studio 2005 Team System Updates are delivered via MSDN It can become a basis for your software development process

VSTS for Project Managers Key takeaways I can use these tools - I already am I won’t get yelled at anymore No more useless status meetings Process is transparent, useful and flexible Productive AND Predictable Teams More visibility to all team members!
