Software Development

I recently read 2 articles with interesting introduction (skip those advertising, it's quite true).

Do you find yourself tired after sitting in meetings all day? Do you have feelings of uselessness after weeks of bug fixing? Do you often find yourself feeling lonely, as if you've lost touch with your team and the status of your project? Are you frustrated by frequent fire drills and the sense that your project is in utter chaos? Are you hopelessly lost in a sea of changing policies and procedures with no end in sight?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be clinically depressed and require extensive psychological counseling. Or maybe, just maybe, you are using the wrong software life-cycle tools. Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a software life-cycle tool designed to improve software team collaboration and increase individual productivity.
Team Foundation Server: At Work

Face it. Producing high-quality software on-time and on-budget is still a very difficult thing to do. Why is that, anyway? Let's start by admitting that software development isn't just about the software developers. In fact, there are typically many other roles involved in software projects, and the way they work together will determine the success of the project. Project teams typically consist of Project Managers, Business Analysts, Application Architects, Developers, and Testers. Unfortunately, in far too many cases, the people playing these roles find it challenging to coordinate their efforts, because they do not have tools that help them collaborate with each other. Wouldn't it be great if we had tools that not only allowed each team member to be more productive, accurate, and predictable in their work, but also to share information and collaborate more readily within their established software development lifecycle?
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System is a very significant release since, for the first time, Microsoft is targeting the entire software development lifecycle. Team System provides additional features to support Architects, Developers, Testers, and Project Managers.
