The Visual Studio ALM Rangers, have been busy at work putting together some great guidance for helping customers get ready to put the 2010 release into production.  If you’d like to learn more about getting going with our 2010 release, check these out…

  • Visual Studio 2010 Quick Reference Guidance: consists of compact cheat sheets for Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 and Visual Studio (VS) 2010, addressing the core problem of teams in the field who are unaware of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server capabilities or have little time to invest in detailed education.
  • Visual Studio 2010 TFS Upgrade Guide:  covers scenarios which may be encountered during and after the upgrade process. It provides examples of most common and potential issues. It covers scenarios related to general Upgrade Process, Work Item Templates, Reports, and Enterprise TFS Management (ETM).
  • Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Branching Guide 2010: Branching and merging of software is a very large topic. It is an area where there is a lot of maturity in the software industry. This Ranger solution focuses on applied and practical examples of branching that you can use right now. The 2010 release includes discussions around branching concepts and strategies but also focuses on practical hands-on labs.
  • Visual Studio 2010 Team Foundation Server Requirements Management Guidance: Requirements Engineering (RE) using Team Foundation Server. We provide formalized Microsoft field experience in the form of recommended procedures and processes, Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server configurations, and skill development references for the Requirements Engineering discipline of your application lifecycle.
  • Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010 VM Factory: prescriptive guidance around the virtualization of the Visual Studio 2010 and guidance for full automation of the creation of virtual machines. We help users with the installation and configuration of virtualized environments with least effort and maximum automation.

    We're trying to upgrade from TFS 2008 to TFS 2010 Beta 2 and it has been a rather time consuming adventure.

    The upgrade path really needs to be much smoother with much less hands on intervention.

    We've run the upgrade wizard after quite a few attempts managed to get the work items and source control working (I think) and are now trying to get our existing reports working.

    Having to 'Hack' these Reports at such a level seems very wrong.

    It's becoming a bit of a nightmare - we've been using the Conchangeo SCRUM for Team System version 2.2 and they seem to have no upgrade path from their 2.2 templates to the new version 3. Is the only 'real' solution to just start from scratch and lose our existing Team Projects.

    Hi Steve,  While we have attempted to make the TFS 2010 upgrade process as straight forward as possible we know that upgrading is still complex.   The Rangers put together this document to cover some issues that you may encounter during upgrade and post upgrade.   I would like to understand more about the issues you are facing and help you.  Can you contact me at bkrieger@microsoft.com.

    Thank-you,

    Bryan Krieger
