Working within a single Team Project with Team Foundation Server 2012
Working within a single Team Project with Team Foundation Server 2012 provides a lot of benefits. There are however many design consideration for working within a single team project and we need to consider all of the complexities that is entails.
Reserve an Agent for a special build in Team Foundation Server 2012
