How to determine which Process Template in VS2010 to use?


I am curious as to which Process Template in Visual Studio's Team Foundation Server people tend to use and why.

I am a Solo Developer in a .Net shop that makes in-house apps only. I make all kinds of applications for our company. Many are critical and used daily by a majority of our 300 employee's. These app's will be around for awhile and in constant maintenance.

Which process would work better for my situation? What do I need to understand to make this decision myself? Which process would work the best for constantly evolving/changing applications.

As an example of what I mean; I just took our Core App, which was a Web App and re-wrote it as a Sometimes Connected WinForm app to allow our Nurses remote use of the program.

The 2 included in VS Team Server 2010 are MSF for Agile Software Development & MSF for CMMI Process Improvement.

Solution

  • MSF Agile is the way to go for you. You are a solo developer, and agile will allow you to capture your backlog of work to complete and rank and prioritize it easily without all the overhead of the CMMI process.
