I was reading this post by Microsoft Premier Developer’s
blog, and it was a nice throwback to past times where I had to deal with these
type of requests because of the existing process in place.
I also thought about how easy it became customising a
process with VSTS compared to TFS, and the first thing that sprung to mind was
to pair this up with the Board Styling options:
This will cause cards that are unassigned to a single individual
but assigned to a group to be highlighted in the board:
There can be so may reasons why a team might choose to do
this – and it does not just apply to product development. Think about
situations where telemetry operators escalate events or tickets are integrated
in the backlog.
Why am I focusing on such small details? Well, this is the
kind of personalisation (I cannot really call them customisations 😊)
that enable cross-role consumption of the stack.
It does not have to be anything extremely complicated, but whenever you can bring an existing process
inside the tool in a frictionless manner you are already paving the way for a
better reception and adoption of the tool itself.
