Visual Studio Team System Project Management Productive AND Predictable Teams • Process automates transitions between tools and the people • Your team is on the same page • You can view the data the way you want • Using the tools you want • While others view their data in their tools • Status meetings become tactics meetings • NO: Where are you on that? • NO: When do you think you’ll be done? • YES: How can we address the road blocks in your way?
