MSF for Agile Software Development is a scenario-driven, context-based, agile software development process that utilizes many of the ideas embodied in Team System. This process incorporates proven practices developed at Microsoft around requirements, design, security, performance, and testing. This new release is built to work with the latest release of MSFWinBuild tool. It also contains many clarifications of the shipping activities.
MSF for CMMI process guidance for use with Visual Studio Team System.
This download includes the MSF for CMMI® Process Improvement process template (process guidance only), which is a highly iterative, adaptive planning, agile software development process which meets the requirements for the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) level 3 and provides a smooth transition all the way to level 5.
UPDATE: Revision 1 is available here and here. More info on Rob's blog.
Both templates provide excellent guidance on the software development process embodied in Team System. This is also an excellent preparation for the Visual Studio User Group workshop on Visual Studio Team System 2005 by VSTS MVP Steven Wilssens.
I've been told there are still a few places left and all attendees will receive a copy of this Wrox book Visual Studio 2005 Team System written by by Jean-Luc David, Tony Loton, Erik Gunvaldson, Christopher Bowen, Noah Coad, Darren Jefford.
