Managing Application Development for SharePoint 2010
By now you will have heard the line "SharePoint is a platform" enough to know that you can go and build some impressive solutions on top of it, but what's the best way to go about managing your custom development processes to ensure success? In this session Brian will take you through how good application life cycle management processes can be applied to SharePoint development projects, and how tools such as Team Foundation Server can assist in keeping projects and development teams on track to deliver great solutions. Topics covered will include automation of builds, managing deployments and upgrades, and how development methodologies such as scrum can work within a SharePoint project. If you are working within a team of SharePoint developers, are involved in release management or are leading development teams then this session is for you.
