As many people already know, we have a team at Conchango developing a Scrum Process (we’re trying not to use the “M” word!) plug-in for VSTS (Visual Studio Team System). Thus far we’ve been building and testing on a combination of TFS (Team Foundation Server) beta 3 and the release candidate version of Visual Studio Team Suite. We’re getting set to offer a beta version of the Scrum plug-in and will be targeting the beta 3 refresh of TFS and the RTM version of VSTS. Like everyone else we’ve somewhat struggled to download the latest VSTS bits from MSDN but I think this is nearly sorted.
We’re really interested to get broad feedback that we can use to improve the Scrum plug-in. So if you’re interested in having a look at this early beta then please drop us a line on betascrum@conchango.com with a few details of the environment you’re looking to use it in. We intend to make new versions available on a regular basis up until we release version 1.0.
Look out for some announcements from us next week when we take part in the big Microsoft launch programme.
