It’s been exciting over the past year to watch as big products like MS Team Foundation Server (TFS) become available that really give development teams the tools they need to perform agile software engineering.

With tools like TFS , development teams can:

• Track and store all their code,
• Automate their releases,
• Control versioning,
• Automate testing,
• Collaborate across the team … and much more.

But how much are these tools doing to bridge the infamous gap between development of the product and the production environment into which it is released?

For years we have heard about breakdowns between agile developers, release teams, and operations staff who have to maintain system stability and keep customer-facing software stable.

Talk to real-world expert Bryon Brewer (LinkedIn profile) about how newer tools and techniques are being used to break down walls between agile development and release engineering.

Join Byron for one hour of open Q & A with ASPE’s resident Agile Engineering guru and TFS expert.

He will have an unscripted conversation about how teams are using these tools, and how real-world IT shops can use agile practices and have stable deployments too.
