FASTDash: A Visual Dashboard for Fostering Awareness in Software Teams

A very cool video on Channel 9 (FASTDash: A Visual Dashboard for Fostering Awareness in Software Teams) with Team System evangelist, Brian Keller, talking with Mary Czerwinski & Greg Smith on a project from Microsoft Research (celebrating its 15th anniversary this month) named, FASTDash.

Visual Studio Team Foundation Server contains a wealth of project data which can be mined to help software teams achieve better productivity. In this video, Brian Keller chats with Greg Smith and Mary Czerwinski about a Microsoft Research project called FASTDash.

FASTDash is designed to help software development teams communicate and collaborate more effectively by providing a new way of viewing the source control tree.

It goes without saying, but it'd be cool to have the visualization features they demonstrated in a future release of Team Foundation Server.
