    Notes on slide 1

    Tfs – each element is represented by a unique and separate work item type (also called WIT). A work item type is a form with associated fields and work flows unique to each element. Each WIT is highly customizable since it is xml based.We represent the hierarchy as a pyramid because the number of elements stored at the top of the pyramid a much smaller then the number elements that are stored at the bottom of the pyramidTop portion of the pyramid is focused around elements for our Delivering Value to our customersBottom portion of the pyramid is focused around the execution of these itemsTalking point on % -large - 300 Dev, 300 Test, 150 PMmed- 80 Dev, 80 Test, 40 PMsmall - 10 Dev, 10 Test, 5 PMOn the Following slides we will discuss each element in detail.

    Tips for your deliveryWelcome attendees and establish rapport by telling a joke, career story, or lesson learned anecdote.Give a brief overview of the presentation; describe the major focus of the presentation and why it is important.Introduce each of the major topics.To provide a road map for the audience, repeat this Overview slide throughout the presentation, indicating with bold, buff text the particular topic you will discuss next.

    The Engineering Excellence and VSTS teams worked together closely over the last year to create this template by compiling the lessons learned from other teams that have implemented similar templates, incorporating engineering best practices, widely socializing the concepts, and finally piloting this template with several product groups.Unique opportunity to roll in all the Engineering Excellence Best Practices of product development into a Microsoft toolThe two default templates in TFS do not fairly represent the product development work done at Microsoft.Offers an out of the box solution which can be leveraged by all product groups at Microsoft. Scheme is roughly based on the existing implementations from several large teamsCommon taxonomyThe MPT can be customized and adopted to specific team needsA collection of processes and tools that describe the established way a particular organization has developed.Act like a blueprint for team project creation, establishing the initial tools, processes, and guidance for how that team project is to run. VSTS currently comes with the following standard process templates:MSF for Agile Software DevelopmentMSF for CMMI Process Improvement

    This work requires a tremendous amount of upfront planning, development, resources and implementation efforts by the product teams.Large teams such as SQL, Developer Division, Office and Windows have developed their own methodologies to conform to their team’s processes. Eventually be offered as an external solution for product development companies or teams.This template is not mandatory – just a better starting point for customizationEE Best practices - Predictability of product commitments; Alignment of project work and resources with project goals; Transparency of the project work and status; Commitment to know what you own and when it is due
