Kobi Moraz is a principal ALM architect who will discuss optimizing deployments and DevOps with TFS 2013. He will cover the gap between development and operations, the problems with production deployments currently, and how the new release management features in Visual Studio 2013 and TFS 2013 can help. Release management can automate deployments to different environments like development, test, and production to improve coordination, provisioning, and deployments across teams. It provides full traceability of releases and integrates with TFS to track work items and source code changes associated with each release.

This document discusses continuous delivery and release management for Visual Studio. It notes that development teams often use agile methodologies while IT departments are typically split into separate entities. Continuous delivery automates the workflow from development to testing to production with full traceability of building and deploying software packages. Release templates define the deployment path and tools used for each environment to enable an optimized process across organizational boundaries. The goal is to start a learning loop and continuously optimize based on lessons learned.

In this webinar, we discussed: • Leveraging Visual Studio Online to plan, create, and deploy your web-based applications. • Project and Iteration Planning With Visual Studio Online • Analytics with Application Insights leveraging Visual Studio Online

This document provides an overview of implementing Scrum using Microsoft Team Foundation Service (TFS). It begins with introductions of the presenters and an agenda. It then covers TFS overviews and comparisons of editions. It discusses setting up code in TFS and Git source control. There is an overview of Scrum principles and processes. Finally, it details activities for Sprint 0 planning such as defining the product backlog, sizing and prioritizing items, and demoing these features in TFS.

Are you looking for an efficient way to dev/test your applications in Windows Azure and you want to track your release process by automating your deployments for repeatable success? Are you struggling with a manual and error-prone deployment process which frustrates you every day? Are you looking for automation that is the same across different environments (Dev-Test-Acceptance-Production)? Do you need to build/package your application only once and deploy it with the exact same bits to any provisioned environment? Do you want to setup a formal approval workflow to promote a release to the next stage? If so, come and learn about the new release management features in Visual Studio Team Services.

This presentation gives you a detailed look at what is in the out of the box templates available in TFS 2013, how they differ, and how that affects some of the ALM tooling.

TFS 2013 offers project management capabilities including work item tracking for tasks, bugs, and feedback. It provides features for managing product backlogs, sprints, and reporting. Project managers can track progress through charts like burn down reports and use capabilities like feedback and discussions to facilitate communication and interactions between team members.

This document summarizes Angela Dugan's presentation on managing TFS structures and security. It discusses how to plan and structure team projects, collections, and teams to ensure effectiveness, scalability, and efficiency. It also provides recommendations on when to create new team projects or collections and how to manage permissions and security across TFS, SharePoint, and reporting services. Additional tools for administering and analyzing TFS implementations are also introduced.

Improving on a previous version of this session delivered in Lisbon, this deck describes the real experiences in architecting and developing a large software project that took 3 years to go live. It was presented at a 3,5hr ITARC2015 workshop in Stockholm, Sweden.

Speakers: Ognyan Guglev & Radi Atanassov In this session we will share how we maintain our environments for development, quality assurance and demonstration purposes. We've put in a lot of thought into optimising what we do and to deliver a highly-available, performing experience to our delivery teams. For our work we have over 90 farms, so the challenges in maintaining them are not insignificant. Due to advances in the SharePoint platform we believe it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain SharePoint environments for every project, client or product. We have a strong requirement to be flexible and efficient on hardware and at the same time be able to spawn development environments on demand. Automation here with SCVMM is key to a sustainable work front. We will discuss our goals as a consultancy company, how we deal with licenses, whether we prefer centralised or decentralised team environments, how to automate VM's with Service Center Virtual Machine Manager, how to deal with Microsoft SQL and Active Directory, DNS and IP addresses, what we do to make the developer's time as productive as possible and a whole set of other tips and tricks we put in place. We will also share our Apps development and Office 365 development landscapes. Overall, this session is infrastructure focused, but will be valuable and practical both for administrators and developers, it will cover experiences for both sides of the spectrum.
