So understandably when I heard about the new Team concept in TFS 2012 I got rather excited. After playing with Teams for a little while in 2012 they are nice, but don't help with management as much as I was hoping for.
Things I think should be tweaked
- Work Items - "Assigned To Me" should filter by current team
- When creating an alert in a team, I should be able to filter work items by my team iteration or areas rather than selecting it manually
- Alerts that can be reused between teams (Email all team members when a work item is created in an area their team is associated to)
- Iteration/Area tree views in the admin section should default to filtered to the default area/iteration and what is below it
- Source view should select the first team favourite
- Builds should filter queued/completed by team favourites
- Easier way to assign security to areas based on groups (eg if a group is assocated to an area then allow the group a particular access level)
- Allow personal favourites per team
- At least some level of integration with reports
- Way to change the path of the area that is automatically created for a team
Obviously the extended view is required to setup favourites in the first place, but this can be a toggle on all views. Nothing major, i just feel that it might be nice to restrict my default view a bit more when I'm meant to be looking at a team.
Maybe i'll look into the plugin framework a bit more and see what I can do.
