Team Foundation Service - Productivity Help from the Cloud by Steve Lange

Visual Studio 11 brings a new offering to teams wanting to leverage TFS: the Team Foundation Service, an Azure-hosted Team Foundation Server infrastructure. This gives organizations the opportunity to reap the benefits of a fully-baked ALM solution without the IT overhead. In this session, we’ll explore "TFS in the cloud" and how it can benefit both individuals and development teams, as well as how you can leverage new VS11 features such as Agile/Scrum planning, client feedback, Suspend & Resume, and code reviews. Seriously, does it get any better than that?
