TFS and PS 2010 Things to Expect

Too much process resistance

Developers may believe that this is going to slow them

down

VSS to TFS migration issues

Almost always easier to migrate without history Dramatic increase in project visibility

Tasks updates are built into the process

Substantially less work for PMs

Completely integrated approach to development

Artifacts, tools and process all integrated


34/36

Summary

Team Foundation Server is the collaborative hub for

software development

Project Server is the collaborative hub for enterprise

project management

Integration tools allows TFS, Project Server, ProjectPro and Visual Studio to work together seamlessly
