I am posting the team picture because the world must know its heroes :) On the other hand, if we do a poor job, you’ll know who to throw tomatoes or eggs at.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri&gt;Anyway, I am pleased to introduce to you (left to right):&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

It targets both audiences - those who are already using TFS and those who are just starting to adopt it. The actionable how-to's are&amp;nbsp;particularly useful.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is the guide that's been in beta for the last couple of months (with over 11,000 downloads).&amp;nbsp;It has&amp;nbsp;received a great deal of feedback (both through dogfooding and external reviews) and is truly a collective guidance of what really works in the industry.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;More info on the blog of J.D. Meier, the lead author of the guide at &lt;A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jmeier/archive/2007/08/06/new-release-patterns-practices-team-development-with-team-foundation-server-guide.aspx"&gt;http://blogs.msdn.com/jmeier/archive/2007/08/06/new-release-patterns-practices-team-development-with-team-foundation-server-guide.aspx&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
