Where are TFS and VSTS heading?

This week Microsoft made published an update to the Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services roadmap, and it looks very promising.

As we already know, TFS and VSTS are an ever evolving platform. This is true for both on-premise with regular updates delivered roughly every quarter and for the cloud service, where the new features are always delivered first.

There are already a few set of features slated for TFS vNext – this is neither a surprise nor a defeat admission, the amount of work for such features is very big – think at the listed improvements for Work Item Tracking alone.

But it isn’t everything for vNext – there is a lot coming in Update 2 and Update 3 as well. The Lab Management overhaul is one of these features, coming in Update 2, like extensions on-premise and the new Release Management.

Keep an eye on that page for TFS and VSTS, because it is updated on a regular basis and it is a great source of information for planning well in advance.
