Other Connect sessions I will be checking out – Should keep me busy for the next week or so as work on my book progresses! Can we clean this up? (We’re working on a Personal view so you can pin only the fields a particular person is working on.)Īnyway that’s a lot of content for me to go through and think about.
Hey, there’s lots of clutter on my PBI’s. Note on permissions, MSFT uses Area Path permissions for security to hide work on sensitive projects (a la HoloLens) View Only (vs modify) permissions yet? (that’s coming also, we are working on joining multiple accounts together so we can view on an org level). It adds so much simplicity and clarity when we’re talking about dates.” We run on a 3 week cadence for our 700 people. Can we display a burndown chart across projects? (not yet, but soon) Note the comment at 54:13 – “I will tell you – we recommend one cadence to rule them all. Note you need to add the Analytics extension to really kick up your burndown chart’s capabilities, see Greg Boer’s recent presentation on Channel9 including PowerBI features on Channel9. They walk through two paid extensions, one for the Backlog Essentials (quick in-place edits of a work item from the list, why isn’t this standard?!) and TimeTracker (for orgs that want to report/track time on dev hours) These are all available from the shopping cart icon, top right in VSTS. There’s a lot of custom extensions for builds, burndowns, etc. 47:15 – I love this part – Extensions. 45:00 – Customizing the dashboard, in this case show a different color if WIP is excessive. 40:30 – Queries are simplified and redesigned. #Taskboard boat code
38:43 – Adding a “followup owner” so code reviews are enforced.(I’m questioning this one, does this really add value?) In this sample they force people to add a custom color and a icon to a new work item to visually differentiate it from others. 35:53 – Add a new work item type to a custom template inherited from the standard Agile template.Use a pound (#) to add a reference to another work item. (Could this take the place of an emailed retrospective?) You could add a new sub page, etc. (Pro tip – use “T” to show succinct view) There’s a lot of “A-Ha!” moments here as cross dependencies get exposed. They talk about what’s currently going on, what’s 3 weeks out.
32:19 – How does Microsoft use delivery plans with their product teams? In the VSTS case, the leads for all 4 teams meet regularly.31:29 – Plans – You could put a specific milestone – say a release date – on the chart.
