A: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server will integrate with Microsoft Project Server through the use Microsoft Project Professional 2003 (VSTS <-> Microsoft Project Professional 2003 <-> Microsoft Project Server 2003). There is no direct integration (server to server). Our current plans for the next version include Microsoft Project Server integration.
Applicability: Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server
Not only does it not integrate with project server I think the integration with Project is weak at best.
I wrote a VBA script to integrate Project with ClearQuest. At only 3 pages of VBA code it does better integration than MS stuff.
Biggest problems:
* Will not import task dependancy info between VSTS and Project.
* Can’t use Project to balance resources accross multiple Team Projects.
* Can’t import summary tasks from VSTS to Project. (In fact, VSTS has no real notion of a parent bug. Neither did ClearQuest – but there we just used another field to indicate it was part of a summary task.)
In sort, the mapping mechanism from VSTS to Project is woefully lame. Maybe there is a way to override that mechanism with code? If so, I have yet to find it…
Not so impressed…
Best of the text i read about a problem.
Ray (Johnson),
Can you mail me your VBA script for Integration with ClearQuest?
Many thanx
Ray,
Can you email the script to me as well or post a link to it?
Much appreciated,
Kevin
Can you mail your VBA code to me?
Otherwise can you give sime tips how we can do this?
Best of all people w can talk…
Asaspal. Memrano tu es besta. Amigo.
