Managing Projects with Visual Studio 2010

Delivered by Equinox training partner Enhance ALM, this 2-day course provides Project Managers, Business Analysts and Team Leaders the essential skills required to effectively manage a software development project using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010. While not a dedicated Scrum course, this workshop focuses on MSF for Agile Software Development and includes many of the practices commonly used by Agile Scrum teams.

In this course, attendees will plan a new software development project and go through the steps to initiate the project using Visual Studio 2010. This includes capturing requirements, techniques for better estimation and conveying priorities to the team. Attendees will use the Agile planning workbooks to plan sprints for their team and learn how to track project risks to help ensure an ultimately successful project.

The course will also examine how to track the quality of the software your team is developing and how to set and maintain a suitable quality standard. The final module of the course looks at the many new reports out of the box with TFS 2010 and how you can create your own reports quickly and easily using Microsoft Excel.

This course includes hands-on labs to reinforce practical skills and ensure you’re ready to use the tools on your return to your workplace.
