VERSION CONTROLGet More Bang for Your Buck
TEAM SYSTEM: IT’S BIG
Don’t Pigeon-Hole TFS• TFS is NOT a re-branded VSS• TFS is NOT just for .NET
development– “If you can save it”• Any file size, any file type
TEAM SYSTEM: IT’S BIG
Keep your Shelves Tidy• Don’t keep them
for too long• Share files, do
peer reviews• Save WIP
TEAM SYSTEM: IT’S BIG
Don’t Hate, Annotate!• Use it for Good, not Evil (or try not
to, at least)• Identify intra-file historical changes

WORK ITEM TRACKINGGet More Bang for Your Buck
TEAM SYSTEM: IT’S BIG
Don’t Re-Create, Relate!• Create related work items– Eliminate a lot of copy & paste
• Link test results, but also the tests themselves

Office: Your Unspoken Hero• SQL Reporting Services is cool, but
not for everyone• What about Excel & Visio?

OTHER STUFFGet More Bang for Your Buck
TEAM SYSTEM: IT’S BIG
F5 is NOT a Build System• Test Drive Team Build• Several Build Scenarios– Continuous– Rolling– Scheduled– Ad-hoc
• Heck, build your database, too.. (gasp!)

“Fire and Forget” User Licensing
Take advantage of Licensing Change New in 2008 Expands Potential TFS Footprint
NO TFS CAL needed when: Creating work items Viewing/Editing work items created by user
Use WIWA Slimmed Down Web Access Confines UI to CAL-less model
Integrate TFS with Existing Helpdesk
Cross-post tickets into TFS work items Partners can help (plug, plug)
