Iteration Manager Visual Studio Add-In
I've started transforming a little tool I’ve been using to ease the bourdon of managing iterations in TFS to a full blown Visual Studio Add-In to handle Iteration management. My goal is to release it on the Visual Studio Gallery, during this spring. But before I release it would be good to have it thoroughly tested That’s why I’m making an open invitation for everyone who would be interested in testing this new Visual Studio Add-In.
Intended feature set
This is the main features I’m intending to implement before official released on Visual Studio Gallery:
- A Visual Studio Add-In using the current team explorer connection
- Automatically configure settings based on process template
- Create new Iteration, optional configurable task:
- Create “Sprint” work item and set sprint dates
- Create a new team query Iteration folder based on template
- Change current iteration
- Reconfigure team queries in current Iteration team query folder
- Vs11 version
- “Repair” team queries after Rename of iteration (and areas)
- Recreate all iteration folders based on template
- Integration with Team Portals
- Integration with Reporting Services
Current state
At this moment I have a working Visual Studio Add-In integration with team explorer, offering a simply UI to create a new Iteration and create a team query folder by copying an existing folder and replacing iteration filters in the queries. The next action is to start writing the configuration and auto detection parts.
