We have been doing this since 2010 and are proud to be the only service provider in South Africa who is dedicated solely to providing these services. Behind Team Foundation Consulting is Visual Studio MVP and ALM Ranger Niel Zeeman. Since inception the focus has been on assisting organisations and individuals to formalise and implement their ALM and DevOps strategy and to leverage TFS in ways that add business value and make Developers and PM’s happy. In 2014 we launched ALM days, our community platform that engages with the broader developer community providing free TFS and ALM focused in-person events. As expected there is a bunch of stuff being announced at //BUILD/. Finally, the time has come for us to launch the first ALM days in South Africa. Let me give you a hint: Not only is it faster, it’s also more reliable! (There, blog post done: ) Let me expand on the above: It’s fast! The company is a large retail chain in South Africa and it seems that they are now trying to go Agile. They are busy upgrading to Visual Studio 2010 and then TFS will be next in line for an upgrade. A friend of mine that works there mentioned how the TFS instance came to be and by the sounds of it, they are in need of someone like me! I’m actively involved in creating extensions on VSTS and one of the questions that comes up a lot is on Telemetry. Ok. Today (even though it is a public holiday in South Africa) I’m sitting here with my wife and looking at what is next. We have defined some plug criteria (when do we call this a bust, pull the plug and try something else.) and the next steps that should take up most of this week. Hopefully by the end of this week I’ll have a online presence and have some advertising pushed out via some niche delivery mechanisms. Now that you have everything to get started, I’m going to create a simple application that we can run. You don’t often think that giving someone a call could be so nerve-wrecking. You prepare a script, giving as much info in as few words and as clearly as possible.
