Pro Visual Studio Team System Application Lifecycle Management

This book seeks to bring the powerful project management philosophies of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) to the VSTS development environment. These techniques can greatly increase the chances of a project's successful completion on time and within budget and can be applied to projects both large and small with equal success. VSTS has always had the capability to support ALM but this capability has not been widely recognised in the past. This is now changing with Microsoft now actively promoting ALM and evangelising its use through their development teams.

Provides readers with everything they need to know to successfully implement Application Lifecycle Management within their .NET projects Emphasizes the traceability and reporting techniques that are going to be of most interest to readers Teaches concepts as well as techniques so that readers can be flexible in the way that they apply ALM to their individual situations
