Their knowledge of past history and current practice, combined with acuity and details about Visual Studio’s Agile capabilities, enable a precise path to execution. Yet their voice and advice remain non-dogmatic and wise. Their examples are clear and relevant, enabling a valuable perspective to those seeking a broad and deep historical background along with a definitive understanding of the way in which Visual Studio can incorporate Agile approaches.”  \n—Melinda Ballou, Program Director, Application Lifecycle Management and Executive Strategies Service, International Data Corporation (IDC)  \n“Sam Guckenheimer and Neno Loje have forgotten more about software  \ndevelopment processes than most development ‘gurus’ ever knew, and that’s a  \ngood thing! In Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012, Sam and Neno distill the  \nessence of years of hard-won experience and hundreds of pages of process theory into what really matters—the techniques that high-performance software  \nteams use to get stuff done. By combining these critical techniques with  \nexamples of how they work in Visual Studio, they created a de-facto user guide  \nthat no Visual Studio developer should be without.”  \n—Jeffrey Hammond, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research  \n“If you employ Microsoft’s Team Foundation Server and are considering Agile  \nprojects, this text will give you a sound foundation of the principles behind its  \nAgile template and the choices you will need to make. The insights from  \nMicrosoft’s own experience in adopting Agile help illustrate challenges with  \nscale and the issues beyond pure functionality that a team needs to deal with.  \nThis book pulls together into one location a wide set of knowledge and practices  \nto create a solid foundation to guide the decisions and effective transition, and  \nwill be a valuable addition to any team manager’s bookshelf.”  \n—Thomas Murphy, Research Director, Gartner  \n“This book presents software practices you should want to implement on your  \nteam and the tools available to do so. It paints a picture of how first-class teams  \ncan work, and in my opinion, is a must-read for anyone involved in software  \ndevelopment. It will be mandatory reading for all our consultants.”  \n—Claude Remillard, President, InCycle  \nVisual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012: Adopting Agile Software Practices: From Backlog to Continuous  \nFeedback  \nTable of Contents  \nContents Forewords Preface Acknowledgments About the Authors  \n1 The Agile Consensus The Origins of Agile  \nAgile Emerged to Handle Complexity  \nEmpirical Process Models  \nA New Consensus  \nScrum  \nAn Example  \nSelf-Managing Teams  \nSummary  \nEndnotes  \n2 Scrum, Agile Practices, and Visual Studio Visual Studio and Process Enactment Process Templates  \nProcess Cycles and TFS  \nTable of Contents  \nInspect and Adapt  \nTask Boards  \nKanban  \nFit the Process to the Project  \nSummary  \nEndnotes  \n3 Product Ownership  \nWhat Is Product Ownership?  \nScrum Product Ownership  \nRelease Planning  \nQualities of Service  \nHow Many Levels of Requirements  \nSummary  \nEndnotes  \n4 Running the Sprint  \nEmpirical over Defined Process Control  \nScrum Mastery  \nUse Descriptive Rather Than Prescriptive Metrics Answering Everyday Questions with Dashboards Choosing and Customizing Dashboards  \nUsing Microsoft Outlook to Manage the Sprint Summary  \nEndnotes  \n5 Architecture  \nArchitecture in the Agile Consensus  \nExploring Existing Architectures  \nSummary  \nTable of Contents  \nEndnotes  \n6 Development  \nDevelopment in the Agile Consensus  \nThe Sprint Cycle  \nKeeping the Codebase Clean  \nStaying in the Groove  \nDetecting Programming Errors Early  \nCatching Side Effects  \nPreventing Version Skew  \nMa","cbCaijGyGuBykG6U","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijGyGuBykG6U","pdf",151029,6,"English","# Contents\n## Forewords\n## Preface\n## Acknowledgments\n## About the Authors\n## The Agile Consensus\n### The Origins of Agile\n### Agile Emerged to Handle Complexity\n### Empirical Process Models\n### A New Consensus\n### Scrum\n### An Example\n### Self-Managing Teams\n### Summary\n## Scrum, Agile Practices, and Visual Studio\n### Visual Studio and Process Enactment\n### Process Templates\n### Process Cycles and TFS\n### Inspect and Adapt\n### Task Boards\n### Kanban\n### Fit the Process to the Project\n### Summary","[{\"question\":\"What does the book focus on regarding Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012?\",\"answer\":\"It shows how to apply Agile approaches in the TFS ecosystem, including process templates, sprint execution, dashboards, and continuous feedback through build/measure/learn loops.\"},{\"question\":\"How are backlog and product ownership handled in the Agile workflow?\",\"answer\":\"The text explains product ownership concepts, Scrum product ownership, release planning, requirement levels, and the qualities of service that guide prioritization.\"},{\"question\":\"Which engineering practices support continuous delivery and software quality?\",\"answer\":\"It covers continuous integration, automating builds and deployments to test labs, keeping the codebase clean, detecting errors early, preventing version skew, and making work transparent.\"}]","Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 - Adopting Agile Software Practices - From Backlog to Continuous Feedback | PDF",1789216833]
