  • VSTS Team – Winning Hearts and Minds

    A few years ago, I remember speaking to the VSTS team about community.  It was a formal presentation arranged by one of the old team members – where I was to talk about the importance of community support and how to win the hearts and minds of developers – and ultimately customers.  I’m actually not claiming that I had anything to do with this – but embracing community is exactly what the VSTS team have been doing.

  • Why I Love the Team System Team

    I really enjoy being a Microsoft Regional Director and an MVP for Team System, however, I don’t think I would enjoy it as much if the VSTS team wasn’t as good as they are.  They ABSOLUTELY get it!  They have been nothing but open and engaging with “us” (the community at large) and work to continually add value to consumers of their product base on the feedback they hear (yes, they actually listen).
