The Managing Agile Projects using TFS training course focuses on Agile methodologies and includes discussions and content focused on both Scrum and Kanban practices. We look at how TFS supports the team during the sprint planning and daily Scrum events, as well as how to create and manage the product backlog and sprint backlog artifacts.
In this course, attendees will plan a new software development project and go through the steps to initiate the project using Team Foundation Server 2018. This includes recording requirements, creating a product backlog and estimating effort for backlog items. We`ll cover planning and running a sprint as well as using the taskboard and burndown chart to track progress. The course also covers using storyboards to prototype experiences, requesting stakeholder feedback, team collaboration and reporting.
