Release Notes

One of the most common parts that are used in the TFS is the Work Items sections.
This section controls the "Management" part of the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and is used by all rolls that take part in the development process.
The Guide is made for the Team Explorer add-in but the concept that is shown is the same as other TFS Clients with small modifications.
This Guide is made for the TFS 2010 and can be used by every user that uses the Team System.

What I liked about this guide is the basic nature of it (funny that given it’s title… ) Meaning there are many people in the MS Dev/QA world who have never used TFS and I felt this guide was a nice, simple and inexpensive introduction. And the fact that it’s VS2010 is also nice… :)
