Newton, MA, September 8, 2009 – Telerik, a leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, today introduced TFS Work Item Manager and TFS Project Dashboard, a new class of workload management applications built with RadControls for WPF by Imaginet Resources consulting group. The free tools are designed to facilitate project progress visualization, reduce project overhead and enhance accountability for development teams working with Microsoft’s Team Foundation Server.
“Telerik’s RadControls for WPF suite provided an amazingly flexible foundation for the TFS Work Item Manager and TFS Project Dashboard tools, allowing the team to quickly implement a user experience that was fresh and intuitive. In addition, Telerik’s mature software engineering practices truly inspired the team to find better ways to visualize the software construction process as well as help to rethink how to update Microsoft Team System work items,” said Joel Semeniuk, Imaginet Co-CEO. “This partnership has resulted in an easy to use work item management tool as well as a rich project feedback platform that leverages highly efficient manufacturing processes.”

With this innovative and easy to use platform, teams will also enjoy improved collaboration resulting in less time needed for managing work items, reports, and cross-team efforts. Moreover, the team’s overall productivity increases as its members share best practices for development, automation and deployment.
TFS Project Dashboard is a unique stand-alone console that connects to Team Foundation Server and pulls workload data to be displayed as various widgets. The application shows all significant indicators in real time at a glance including build history, recent check-ins, assigned tasks, bug history, and more. The instant and accurate reports allow for improved accountability of personal tasks, workloads and release schedules.
