Hi Brian,

I have to say I wasn't impressed with the first one of these I attended. I joined in for the first hour of the Reporting workshop on Monday, April 13th.

The title said reporting, and there were reporting topics on the agenda, but the first hour covered basics about Team System, the process templates (CMMI and Agile) and how to create a new work item. Useful to some I'm sure, but useless to me looking for detailed information on the many ways to set up and configure reporting.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a better experience.

Hi Ross,

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We have had a lot of very positive and strong feedback on the quality and value of the workshops. That said, I do take your point that perhaps too much time is given to covering the 100-level introduction to Team System. I will work with Adventos to make a change here so that the workshops get to the more in-depth content sooner.

Thanks so much for helping us improve these.

Cheers - Andrew
