    Behind the Scenes with the TeamPulse Team – Part 2

    (This is a continuation of “Behind the Scenes with the TeamPulse Team – Part 1) post The Backlog Backlog Management was a major feature in the 2011 R2 release. This is yet another example of where the team released new features to our dogfood server as quickly as they could in order to start realizing the value the feature provided to the team. In this case, the team immediately started to use the backlog view to prioritize the combined set of ALL stories and bugs, use custom views to help narrow down the large amounts of data we ...

    One Year since TeamPulse V1

    I can’t believe it’s only been a year since we launched our first version of TeamPulse.
