Aaron Bjork - Announcing Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0
“Today we’re releasing the first official version of our latest process template – Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0 (formerly known as Team Foundation Server Scrum v1.0 Beta). If you were following the beta, you know that this template was built from the ground up specifically for Scrum teams.
Visit the Visual Studio Gallery to download the template. Below I’ve taken some time to describe what’s changed since the beta and also outlined a few of the key concepts/artifacts in the template.
Q: What’s changed since the beta?
…
Q: Why did Microsoft decide to build a Scrum template? I thought MSF Agile 5.0 was Microsoft’s answer to Scrum?
…
Q: Did Microsoft work with Agile thought leaders when building this template?
…
Q: How is the Sprint work item intended to be used?
…
Q: What about the Iteration Backlog and Product Planning workbooks from the MSF Agile 5.0 process template?
…
Q: Can I move data from an existing project into a new project build from Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0?
…
…”
One of the important things in my mind, is that this is an “official/in-the-box” Scrum TFS Project Template. Also I like the simplistic approach this template takes. If you need “Enterprise” Scrum, check out EMC’s Scrum for Team System v3. If you need something smaller, less complex, then this seems like a good choice…
