Imaginet Resources Corp. has been working with Telerik to help them optimize their Application Lifecycle Management processes. As part of this, we have built some tools to address some specific pain points they were experiencing. Well, Telerik has decided to make these tools available to all.
Check out the Telerik TFS Work Item Manager and Project Dashboard.
It contains a very rich UI based on the Telerik RadControls for WPF that makes it very easy to manage work items. It supports Enhanced Work Item Queries, Search, Iteration Scheduling and has productivity features like ‘Create workitem from Clipboard’ that lets you quickly create a new work item that contains the contents from the clipboard (very helpful when creating bugs with screenshots).
It has a Task Board view that works with any process template.
And my favorite feature is the Project Dashboard which gives visibility into what is really happening on your projects. Did you ever want to know what people are working on right now? Or how about what % completion you have on your iteration backlog? By Person? How about seeing both Code Churn and Code Coverage displayed? Isn’t it strange how code churn was high but coverage didn’t change? Maybe we should look into that.
Head over to the Telerik site and check it out! If you have any feedback, just drop me a comment or send me an email! I’d love to hear what you think.
