This document discusses how a company is using Team Foundation Server (TFS) to improve their project management and development processes. It outlines some common pain points teams face around requirements management, feedback, project visibility, code quality, and testing. It then describes how TFS can address these issues through features like requirement tracking, feedback collection, work item reports, gated check-ins, code metrics, code reviews, lab management, and more. The final section shows how TFS editions like Premium and Ultimate provide additional capabilities for tasks like architecture validation, debugging production issues, and memory leak analysis.

9. Pain/challenges team facing currently How we addressed Solution
Need mechanism through which team can have better control over requirement - Misunderstood requirements Requirment Management TFS
How we can get constant feedback from the customer and also we have audit trail for the same - Late feedback Feedback client TFS
Conflicting Priorities Project Management TFS
Team/Management do not have the clear view on what work is assigned to whom and where are we at any given point with respect to our work break down. Work break down reports TFS
Developer should not be allowed to do check-in until build passes Gated check-in TFS
Development teams are not aware of the quality of the code - No mechanism to validate Duplicate code, Code coverage, Code metrics, Static analysis Code Metrics Premium
Developers should be able to quickly see the related function/method in one view. Code Map Premium
Code review mechanishm not in place Code Review Premium
Context switching Suspend and resume Premium
Unable to replicate releases, Unment Operational Requirements Release Management Premium
Scaling Dev and Test environment Lab Management Premium
Dev Teams need to be sync with Architecture published- No validation mechanishm. Architecture Validation Ultimate
Issues identifed at production difficult to bring back to development Intellitrace - helps to bring production Ultimate
Challenges in identifying memory leakages in application Memory Dump analysis Ultimate
