    First Look at Silverlight 5

    Introducing the TeamPulse TFS Process Template

    Successful synchronization in TeamPulse depends on stories and tasks having a workflow (statuses and transitions) that matches the workflow of the Team Foundation Server (TFS) work item type they are mapped to.
