ANNOUNCING THE VISUAL STUDIO TEAM SYSTEM - PROJECT SERVER CONNECTOR
Just got the announcement mail: The TFS-Project Server connector is released and can be downloaded on http://www.avanadeadvisor.com/TFS-ProjectServerConnector.zip
Excerpt from the announcement:
VSTS integrates with Microsoft Office Project Standard 2003 and Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 for desktop use and allows project managers to plan and manage projects on a local computer. However, because there is no integration with Project Server, the project data for each team is available only in a stand-alone plan. There is no simple way to aggregate project data across multiple projects. The Connector synchronizes Project, Resource and Task data between the two systems. Project Managers, Resource Managers continue to work in the EPM environment while the development team works in the development environment, i.e. VSTS, and data seamlessly flows between the two systems. Updates to work items in VSTS are automatically applied to the corresponding assignments and tasks in Project Server and vice versa.
