Implementing VSTS Best Practices

Microsoft Visual Stuido Team System (VSTS) best practices are implemented using Notion Solutions' Jumpstart programs. Jumpstarts are engagements designed to help you adopt a specific discipline, select processes and/or tools. For larger institutions, jumpstarts can help individual teams or pilot users with the desired adoption. For smaller organizations, a jumpstart may be the basis for a full organizational implementation. Although the specific contents of each jumpstart varies, most include some amount of discovery, implementation, and training. Many individual jumpstarts can be completed in just a few days of effort. Jumpstarts typically involve improving one or more Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) practices through tool implementation, training, and process improvement. ALM practices include:

• Portfolio Management
• Project Management
• Requirements Management
• Solutions Architecture
• Development Process
• Version Control
• Quality Assurance
• Release Management
• Database Process
• Change Management
• Maintenance and Support

Each jumpstart is customized for your needs. It is possible to engage Notion for a single targeted jumpstart or combining multiple Jumpstarts together or with other Notion training or services.
