A Brief Team System History Lesson

  • Article

Paul Krill has a piece on Team System for InfoWorld today that sheds a little light on the origins of Team System. In the article, Team System founding father Rick LaPlante discusses the earliest discussions with Bill and Steve, the obligatory buy vs. build debates, and a glimpse at what the future holds.

The genesis of Microsoft's ALM platform began in 1999, when LaPlante met with Bill Gates, currently Microsoft's chairman and chief software architect, and Steve Ballmer, now serving as CEO, to talk about enterprise software development.
