Team Foundation Server Training



ABOUT


The Team Foundation Server (TFS) Training at DevOpsConsulting.in is designed to provide professionals with a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft’s TFS, a powerful suite for source control, project management, and build automation. This training covers the core features of TFS, including repository management, work item tracking, build and release management, and project planning. Participants will learn how to use TFS to streamline development workflows, manage code changes, and collaborate effectively within teams. The course also explores advanced topics such as integrating TFS with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, handling version control with Git or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC), and utilizing TFS for agile project management.


Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, learners will gain practical experience in setting up and managing TFS environments, implementing best practices, and optimizing development processes. This training is ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals seeking to enhance their skills in using TFS for efficient software development and project management.
