Storyboarding

StoryBoard Assistant Tool• Tighter loop between

the Business Stakeholders and Development Team

• Graphical design tools built in PowerPoint

• Embed other content including context slides

• Capture screen shots and create lightweight animations

• Store common elements within a shape library

• Create master templates to simplify multiple similar views

• Get feedback to others• mail the document• print the document• version control the

document• leverage collaborative

editing tools• leverage web viewing

tools

Backlog Management

Managing the Product Backlogleverage agile best practices

• Accessed from the Team Project Web Access

• Shows a single view of the current backlog of work

• Dynamically re-ordered and group

• Enable Product Owner to quickly prioritize work and outline dependencies and relationships

Velocity progress

Easily drag’n drop to prioritize tasks

Sprint Planning & Execution

progress

Team capacity at a glance

• The enhanced work item management tools in Team Web Access

• Tool pre-populates required data

• Streamlines the association and update process.

• Effectively allocate work balancing load with available capacity

• Real-time feedback on the updates to the plan

Task Board in Team Web Accessupdate the status of work items visually

Task Board Burndown

Personalized Productivity

Team NavigatorMy Work

• Allows the developer to easily context switch• Packages all the

open work• Save entire

environment settings

• Fix urgent bugs• Recall task, work is

instantly restored in context and error-free.

• Resume where the developer left off

Unit Testing Runnercontinuous unit testing execution

• Run tests in the background• Never pause and wait for test

results• Support for multiple unit testing

frameworks • Integrated deeply into the IDE• Support MS Test, xunit, and nunit • Target both .NET and native C++

code• Combined with Test Impact

Analysis• most important tests are

always• Run first, so failures appear in

seconds.

Integrated Code Reviewproviding feedback from other team members

• Shared knowledge across team

• Code reviews can be set as a quality gate

• Source changes highlighted and comments about the changes.

Integrated Code ReviewIn-line diff viewer

• Multiple views• Old code line in Red• New code line in

Yellow• Supports in-line

comments

Code Clone Detectionreviews common code blocks exposing refactoring opportunities

• Detect code blocks with common structure and approach

• Search is semantic, not just literal

• Detects both ‘copy and paste’ errors

• Detects code fragments with a common logical structure

• Review common code and decide how to proceed

Feedback Client

• Support for rich text and images

• Embedded in the view

• Improves fidelity of feedback

• Standard fields are pre populated.

Client Feedback ToolExploratory Testing with MTM in vNext

ResourcesCheck out the 3 easy ways to come up to speed on vNext announced

• SpeakFlow: Follow the lifecycle – from development to operations and back again.• Starting at the “STORYBOARDING” video (at the top) and then

following the circle counter-clockwise. Tip: To go up a level after drilling in, use your mouse wheel or the UP key on your keyboard.

• Foundational Session: This 60-minute, demo-heavy presentation by Cameron Skinner and Brian Keller will paint a broader picture of our ALM story than we had time for during the keynote.

• Whitepaper: Here is a great PDF whitepaper which reinforces the value propositions for what we’re delivering in vNext.
