Stephanie Saad shows us a quick demonstration of how Visual Studio Team System 2010 will enable teams to be more agile. In this demonstration she shows the new Agile planning worksheet for Excel which can be used to easily balance resources, manage your backlog, and generate ad hoc reports.

This video was almost too short to be of any real value.
 
It would be nice to do a deep dive on this template and really get into the guts of the new process guidance story with VS2010.
 
I'd love to see how the VS2010 new features such as those in excel, mentioned in this video, improve the workflow between team members and for the project as a whole.

Hi Zeo - for some additional context Ameya and Siddharth's videos do a good job of painting the rest of the workflow context around this.

We'll also be working on more in-depth videos in the future for you. Thanks for watching. Smiley

Yep - agree. It would be fun to do a longer video on all the excel features, including agile planning in excel complete with format persistence (so cool Smiley ) AND all the awesome new excel reporting features. I really like how the quick excel reporting works together with the Excel Services-based dashboards. It's incredibly quick now to create really powerful dashboards on all your data. Shoot, I didn't mean to type such a long reply, I just really like the features. Smiley We can talk with Brian about doing another demo here.

Thanks!
