How to use Microsoft Project to manage projects with VSTS

Filed under: VSTS — sanjaynarang @ 6:14 pm

I keep getting questions and comments for my article, “Combine Microsoft Project and Visual Studio Team System for a One-two Punch of Productivity”. The article is available at:

So, I thought of creating this blog entry, so that I can answer those questions here. The article covers the following topics:

 

  • Problems in day to day Project Management activities
  • How VSTS centralized architecture addresses those problems
  • How do you create a new Project Plan and connect to VSTS
  • How do you work with project tasks (creating, updating, deleting, resolving conflicts etc.)
  • Column Mappings and Areas and Iterations
  • Comparison with Microsoft Project Server

 

Happy
