  3. urbanturtle.com Agenda • Insights from our customers adopting TFS • Assessing YOUR Situation • Top 10 Scenarios and how customers have dealt with them. • Key Themes

  4. Assessing Your Situation • What are your objectives? • Who is involved? • Are you sure about the big problems? • Why are you considering TFS? • If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it!

  5. Why? • We need to upgrade VSS, so why not get free defect tracking too? • We want to increase our productivity. • We want to increase our visibility. • I want more visibility into what my developers are doing. • We’re moving to Agile. • We want to get our testers working closer to our developers.

  6. Decision Point #1 • The size & scope of a Team Project

  7. Planning Point #1 • What is your timeline, roadmap, expectations? • Be realistic

  8. Scenario #1 “We already have a ticketingsystem, what should we do with Work Items? “

  9. Scenario #2 “Testers don’t work in our department and they use Quality Centre. How should we deal with that?“

  10. Scenario #3 “We have PowerBuilder, Cold Fusion, Delphi, Java and C# is it worth using TFS?“

  11. Scenario #4 “I looked at the two out of the box templates and they don’t fit our process. We need to customize before we start. It looks pretty easy!“

  12. Scenario #5 “Developers are from Mars and Testersare from Venus and they live next door.“

  13. Scenario #6 “I’m having a hard time getting my team to adhere to 100% code coverage.“

  14. Scenario #7 “My project manager keeps asking me to tell him what “percentage” I am complete on my tasks, but I can’t seem to do that in TFS.“

  15. Scenario #8 “I work on 12 projects at the same time how do I calculate my velocity for Project #9?“

  16. Scenario #9 “I’m the BA, Dev, QA and Release Manager so who would I be collaborating with?“

  17. Scenario #10 “I am supposed to check in my code every night but I’m not always done and sometimes it breaks the build.“

  18. Key Themes • Ask yourself “What are my ALM Problems?” and “Why/How TFS will help solve those?” • Consider a maturity model, roadmap for TFS Adoption • Source Code • Builds • Unit Tests • Project Data • Requirements • QA Automation/Integration • Lab Management • Value People over Processes • Value Process over Tools • Don’t let the tools drive your process or people, but be pragmatic before customization.
