"I really like the way you can access your work items from within Outlook. I like the way you can bring up the full work item forms, make edits, and save immediately to TFS. It was great to create new meeting requests or mail messages from the work items."

Lori Lamkin
Product Unit Manager for Team Foundation Server at Microsoft

"These types of products are important to the industry."

Joel Semeniuk
CEO and co-founder of ImagiNET Resources Corp.

"I know of a good number of companies that will love having something like this - getting their timesheet management into TFS (so it can be reported on, especially) will make life a lot easier for them."

James Manning
Software Design Engineer for Visual Studio project at Microsoft

"I like the idea of being able to link work items to e-mails and meetings. I also like that it provides non-technical information workers the option of working with TFS in a more familiar environment. Congratulations to TeamExpand on the release!"

Jason Barile
Principal Test Manager for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server at Microsoft

"TX Chrono, by TeamExpand, allows users to easily track how they are spending their time, store that information in TFS, and make it available for reporting in the warehouse."

SDLC vs ALM 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Hey everyone!
I recently posted an entry in TeamExpand blog discussing the difference between SDLC (System Development LifeCycle) and ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). Those two often get confused, as SDLC tools are misrepresented as ALM by their developers and mistaken by the general pblic. Here's the post, hope it helps to clear things out. =)

Alena,
I never thought of it that way actually.
So you are saying that VSTS isn't an ALM tool? Cuz the way you draw the line between sdlc and alm, vsts fits into the sdlc category only.

That's precisely what I'm saying. VSTS leaves people that do not write code out of the picture. Marketing and Sales are part of the team too, they too should be able to see how the projects are progressing and be able to contribute ideas. =)

Alena,
interesting thoughts. Looks like you are challenging the whole concept of ALM as viewed by the general public. o_O
