Readers will learn what they need to know to get started with VSTS, including:

The role of the value-up paradigm (versus work-down) in the software development lifecycle, and the meanings and importance of “flow”
The use of MSF for Agile Software Development and MSF for CMMI Process Improvement

Work items for planning and managing backlog in VSTS

Multidimensional, daily metrics to maintain project flow and enable estimation

Creating requirements using personas and scenarios

Project management with iterations, trustworthy transparency, and friction-free metrics

Architectural design using a value-up view, service-oriented architecture, constraints, and qualities of service
Development with unit tests, code coverage, profiling, and build automation

Testing for customer value with scenarios, qualities of service, configurations, data, exploration, and metrics

Effective bug reporting and bug assessment

Troubleshooting a project: recognizing and correcting common pitfalls and antipatterns

This is a book that any team using or considering VSTS should read.

Sam Guckenheimer has been the chief customer advocate for VSTS, responsible for its end-to-end external design. He describes his book, Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System, as a framework for thinking about software projects in a way that can be directly tooled by VSTS. It presents essential theory and practical examples to describe a realistic process for IT projects.

• Sell democracy by showing that it works better sustainably, not that it has bigger bombs.

• Niche-network layer-multiplicity may be used to measure how well social-systems work.

• Like available-work & species-diversity, layer-multiplicity measures complexity in the standing crop of correlated-subsystems.

• Values that evolve to support correlations looking in/out from skin, family & culture can do for us what DNA does for multi-celled lifeforms.

• How do you balance the doctor, mentor, parent, community-leader, cultural-guardian & scholar-scientist inside you?

• Finding access for everyone to all 6 niche-types could power unity across region, belief, & expertise lines.

• Tracking the impact of disasters, policies, and tax-support on folks’ ability to shoulder responsibility in all six layers could be both fun and healthy.

• This challenge also provides a rational basis for working together across regional-community, belief-system, and professional boundaries.

• Name two groups who distrust one another, and this platform provides a context for them to work together.

• The one-layer focus of right/left & religious extremism on politics/profession or culture may increase as we move past the peak in free-energy/capita.

• Layer-multiplicity information includes no data on what’s-connected-to-what.

• This project has deep cross-disciplinary roots in math as well as the physical and life sciences, about which more e.g. in Complexity 13:6(2008)29-39 (http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0603068).

Objective: Develop tools to assess and apply information on layer-multiplicity, using web-resources not directly available to NSF, NIH and DARPA to catalyze involvement by citizens and teachers across the globe in stabilizing the structure of both human and non-human communities.

• How can we make the most of it?
