In this blog post, we continue to customize the TeamPulse Ideas & Feedback Portal. It is important to have a deep understanding of JavaScript and CSS before taking on the examples that are shown here. However, if something were to go amiss, the TeamPulse team has made it easy to revert your changes and restore the site to the original JavaScript and CSS.

This post only shows some of the power behind the advanced settings. Feel free to experiment to create your own unique design. After all, you are only one click away from restoring the Portal if you make a mistake.

For reference, here is the default, “out of the box” portal.  (Don’t ...

In my last blog post, I introduced you to our new HTML 5 based xView extension to TeamPulse and specifically wrote about the Project Status view. In this post, I’ll go into further detail about the People Status view.

People Status xView

The goal of this xView is to give high-level work information about all of the people using TeamPulse and to assist in identifying people who may require help.

As with the Project Status view, we wanted this view to allow people to focus on the most important information in a single glance. If people don’t require help, ...

As the TeamPulse product owner, I'm pleased to introduce our new HTML 5 based TeamPulse extension we call xView. Our goal for these features is to provide users with a single location to get a view of data across multiple projects.

I'm fortunate to spend the majority of my time focusing on a single project, as do the members of my team, but I've been working in the application development industry long enough to know that this is not the case with many of our customers. These customers are often juggling multiple items in multiple projects and there are people ...

TeamPulse needs your feedback. Constantly.

The winner will be first announced here, on our blog on February 3rd. And then -- on our Google+ page.

A common question we get asked is how to add new statuses to work items in TeamPulse.  While the process is not difficult, it is also not immediately obvious and a bit of complexity is added if your project is syncing with TFS.  To help people accomplish this task, we have added a how-to article in the TeamPulse documentation entitled “How to: Add a Custom State”.  This article will walk you through the process of adding a status to a work item in TeamPulse and adding a new state to a work item type definition in TFS.  If ...

What makes software valuable? Or, to be specific, when does software become valuable? To put it simply, software becomes valuable when the proper solution gets into the hands of the user. Software sitting on a developer’s computer, no matter how wonderfully it was designed or coded, doesn’t provide any value.

Your development teams are hard at work developing the best software possible. They are employing many of the agile practices that have been developed over the past decade or so, including implementing a rapid feedback loop through increased collaboration, developing in small iterations, ensuring transparency, and responding to change.
