I taught my first course about VSTS and MSF 4
Last week I was in the south of Italy to teach my first selfmade course about MSF 4, both version, Agile and CMMI-PI, and VSTS support.
I think that it was the first course of that kind, at least in Italy (considering that MSF CMMI-PI was 1 week old...) and it was a great experience for me.
I started to love MSF from 2002, from a very nice presentation from Rafal Lukawiecki.
After that I became a MSF Practitioner, and I've also taken the 70-301 certification.
But MSF 4 is much much better than MSF 3, and teaching it helped me a lot to understand the differences between the original one and the two new versions.
The tool support is awesome, but I think that something better can be made in integrating MS Project with Team Foundation Server, but there will be a lot of space for 3rd party vendors...
The course went well, the feedback from students was very good, and I hope that they can start to "assimilate" and "implement" all the practices, the tricks, and the useful part of the framework.
