Omar Villareal from Notion Solutions will be presenting this Friday (3/27) at DevCares - see the Dallas DevCares site for time and location information. Here's an abstract for the talk and Omar's info:

Session Information

Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 is an integrated application lifecycle management (ALM) product family with the tools and processes that help development teams (developers, testers, project managers, release managers…) work more effectively together. Whether it is a brand new application or an existing application that is in maintenance mode, having a sound ALM process and a good set of tools in place can increase a team’s productivity and reduce friction between team members. In this session we will look at the Team System tools and features that can help developers go home at 5:00 PM while still delivering high quality code on time. We will also glance at some of the tools and projects that the developer community has released to complement the work that Microsoft has done with the Team System family of products as well as the two features that I find most exciting in the upcoming release of Team System with Visual Studio 2010.
