Peter Coffee on VSTS and Team Foundation Server
Peter Coffee, in his latest article at eWeek entitled Dog Food Doctrine Deserves Debate (nice alliteration), talks about VSTS and Team Foundation Server:
I wonder, though, if Visual Studio Team System will be a well-tailored fit for organizations that are only like Microsoft in the sense that they also produce software. The manner in which Microsoft designs and delivers product, and the kind of developer that the company is trying to enable and empower, may not look all that much like the manner in which an enterprise team has to work with business process owners, deliver incremental capabilities into heterogeneous IT environments, and respond under pressure to immediate and unpredictable demands of its own in-house clients and their supply-chain partners.
But in my mind, the beauty of Team Foundation Server is that is IS extensible, and I believe you can make it into whatever you need. Especially if you start developing your own custom process model templates.
