Visual Studio 2005 Team System is a large and complex product and this book brings it to life. Visual Studio 2005 Team System is arguably the most sophisticated development environment that Microsoft has ever built. It has enormous potential to improve people's working lives by allowing them to draw together disparate tasks within a single reporting and testing structure. In order to do this successfully people need a guide. The sheer scale of the product makes it easy to misunderstand and misuse. These mistakes lead to lost productivity. This book provides that guidance. It does not follow the path of other Team System books and focus on explaining the anatomy of the product. Instead it walks readers through a fictional scenario containing all the problems that Team System was built to remedy and shows how the product can be best applied to solve the problems of architects, developers, testers and project managers alike. The whole process is covered from inception to deployment in such a way that the techniques learned can be easily applied to reader's own situations.
