   WHAT ’ S IN THIS CHAPTER? 
  Understanding what you need to ship software: vision, insight, 
resources, planning, and product features.  
  Understanding three approaches to management methodologies: 
Scrum, MSF, and Waterfall.  
  Comparing the three project management methodologies.    
 This chapter covers the high - level process of shipping software. You ’ ll learn how to start with 
a compelling vision and the resources you need to build a product. You ’ ll also learn about the 
relationship among competing constraints. You ’ ll read about three popular software project 
management techniques: Scrum, Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF), and Waterfall. By the 
end of this chapter, you ’ ll be able to use what you know about the MSF and Waterfall methods 
to gain insight into Scrum. 
 This book is about using a specifi c tool, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS), to 
support the Scrum process for shipping great software. The fundamental concept is to put 
customer value at the center of everything you do. While maximizing customer value, you also 
maximize your team ’ s productivity and predictability with each release, creating a sustainable 
team environment for shipping great software. In this book, you ’ ll learn how to use the tools 
in TFS to manage a software development project using Scrum.

how someone would use it. And before that, you need insight into the problem you ’ re trying
