Yes, actually you can connect to TFS via VS Pro; that’s the common denominator amonsgt all the VS Team Editions (Dev, Tester, DB). It’s VS Standard that doesn’t come with the TFS client. You do have to pay for a CAL w/ Pro though, while the VS Team Edition derivatives each come with a free TFS CAL; maybe that’s where the confusion lies.

Comment on How to use Microsoft Project to manage projects with VSTS by Paul Hodder

Paul Hodder — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 18:18:04 +0000

I’m tasked with proving vstfs as a viable tool for our organization. My initial task is installation of tfs 180 day trial version. I then installed the MSDN copy of Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers with the understanding that it would add the MS Project and Excel add ins required to integrate with TFS. While the install seems to have run successfully, it appears that the add-ins are not installed. I tried to update the installation and it doesn’t appear to have these items as optional components. How can I get these vital components installed?

From question #1 above. As far as I know, MSDN subscriptions (in order to renew at renewal pricing) must be renewed within 30 days. After the 30 days, you will have to purchase at new subscription pricing instead of renewal pricing.

Comment on Lifecycle Methodology Management Solutions and VSTS by Sanjay

Kunal,

Thanks for providing more information on IRIS Process Author for VSTS. This seems like a pretty useful tool – i haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but would like to do that in near future.

Also, thanks for pointing out that Process Author is released for a long time – I should have mentioned Process Author for VSTS – which was not released when i was writing the article – it took a long time before it got published.

Any way, useful info, thanks ..

Comment on Lifecycle Methodology Management Solutions and VSTS by Kamal Ahluwalia

Kamal Ahluwalia — Fri, 22 Dec 2006 23:27:27 +0000

I enjoyed reading your article. I wanted to take this opportunity to correct some inaccuracies relating to IRIS Process Author and also give you an accurate overview of our suite of offerings around VSTS.

You have mentioned in your article that IRIS Process Author is “not released”. Osellus introduced IRIS Process Author as the earliest software process modeling tool almost three years ago. It is now being used by a wide variety of organizations globally. More importantly IRIS Process Author is a part of a comprehensive suite of offerings that includes enactment (IRIS Process Live) and metrics (IRIS Process Metrics). Since then, as an early VSTS adopter and Microsoft partner we have built and offered industry leading technologies around process tailoring and process enactment using VSTS. A .NET version of IRIS Process Author is also now available.

Osellus offers two different solutions for customers who would like to develop custom processes or would like to enact available methodologies (with or without tailoring them) in VSTS.

Using IRIS Process Author, a methodology-agnostic standards based process authoring tool, process engineers can define-tailor-publish software development processes in a collaborative team based environment. This is made possible by the sophisticated server side support for extending and reusing process content, including best practices and patterns, being developed across an enterprise. These processes can then be exported as VSTS process templates to instantiate new team projects in VSTS.

For those teams who would not like to spend the time in coming up with their own processes but use available processes such as those from RUP, Osellus offers the VSTS ContentBridge. The VSTS ContentBridge allows project managers to transform RUP processes into VSTS Process Templates allowing flexible mapping to user defined work item types and attributes, as well as work item form layout. This transformation is lossless preserving the content defined in RUP. In many cases this would include content that has been used from one or more method plug-ins (for example the different RUP plug-ins). These VSTS Process Templates can be used to instantiate and enact new VSTS Team Projects.
After getting the right-process content at the right-time for the right-practioner, the IRIS Plugin for VSTS (to be release 1Q07) would use our second-generation enactment technology to offer advanced workflow execution, including triggering work product state machine based pre/post conditions. It would also offer a sophisticated process-rich web interface to TFS that would include linked work-items. This plugin would then make use of the advanced reporting capabilities built in VSTS to offer reports on enactment, including metrics and process compliance that would be extremely useful to our customers implementing CMMI and other quality initiatives.

I hope you find this information useful. For more information you can go to http://www.osellus.com or send us an email at info@osellus.com.

[...] This is true for Team Foundation Server also. We (HP) have been involved in all these areas with Microsoft right since early Beta stages of VSTS. When VSTS was in development stages, we extended TFS to develop an enterprise project and process management solution, APPRISE. Since TFS went RTM, we’ve been working on other two areas: Capacity Planning and High Availability. [...]

I don’t know, what could be the outcome in that case. The best possible ways to find out would be:

1. Post your query in TFS General forum
2. Ask you MSDN subscription contact person from Microsoft

Comment on VSTS and TFS Licensing FAQ by Matt

Matt — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 15:06:46 +0000

Hi, We have two MSDN Subs (both the dev version). This provides us with two copies of Visual Studio to use on live dev work. It also allows us to use TFS work group edition. Question: What happens when the MSDN sub expires? Can we continue to a) use studio and b) run and access TFS Finally my understanding is that we can upgrade/reactivate expired MSDN subs a year or so later so assuming we don't need any other features what’s to stop us from letting the sub expire and renewing it when we need to move to orcas? Thanks, Matt

Comment on Avoiding the VSTS Microsoft Project Integration Failure caused by “Friendly Name” feature by sanjaynarang

sanjaynarang — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 09:21:58 +0000

As Microsoft Project is using the OS List Separator for seprating names, there could be other applications installed on the machine who might be using this for some other purposes. They might break, if they are assuming that list separator would always be comma (,)

In addition, you need to do this change on all the machines where you want to update work items from Microsoft Project

I heard that Microsoft is release a fix for this in SP1 – i’m not sure what that fix is.

We developed a tool that allows users to add hyper links (smart tag) to work items in word documents. Users can track/edit work items inside a word document through the hyper links. The tool doesn’t impose any special formatting on word documents so is very easy to use. Please check out the web site http://dotnetideas.com . We are looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks very much!
