Work Item Manager and Project Dashboard Beta1

September 8, 2009

The TFS Work Item Manager (WIM) was built as an alternative for users who may not be familiar with using Microsoft Visual Studio to access Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS). This tool was created in collaboration with Telerik and demonstrates how the Telerik platform can be used to create real world solutions.
At a high level, the Work Item Manager helps users find and edit TFS work items as well as provide many features that make it easier for teams to add new work items, visualize work items in different ways, and display information contained within work items in a way that users can act upon. The goals of the Work Item Manager are to:

  1. Provide a tool to those who may not be comfortable using Microsoft Visual Studio to access Microsoft Team Foundation Server.
  2. Provide a way for teams to better visualize information stored in TFS in order to facilitate better team communication and collaboration.
  3. Provide teams with a user interface that can be displayed on fixed displays in and around a team room to provide up to date and meaningful project information.
