Adam received an e-mail from a client requesting new features, created 3 work items right from Outlook
and assigned them to his developers.
TaskConnect is an Outlook sidebar panel that shows you work items related to currently displayed e-mail.
You can easily create a new work item from Outlook, or attach existing one from your work item repository to selected e-mail.
Emily got a message from TFS server - her developers resolved another work item.
The work item was already attached to the e-mail and Emily could mark it as closed with a few clicks in Outlook.
Whenever you get a notification from your Team Foundation Server, relevant work items will be shown automatically.
Once attached, e-mails are shown during whole conversation - respond to your clients or developers, and and everyone will always see the relevant work items right when reading the email.
Trent did a fulltext search for a recent work item directly from Outlook,
quickly found that it was resolved
and wrote the good news to his client.
TaskConnect has a smart work item search - enter a keyword, and search through all work items' fields at once, without ever using Team Foundation Server's web interface or Visual Studio.
