TeamDef is an application made for operational planning and time tracking of projects based on TeamDef methodology and stored in Microsoft Team Foundation Server. This application provides all members of the development team with valuable information about ongoing projects. It is a significant supplement to the Team Foundation Server in the time tracking and time sheet management area.

Technical overview

TeamDef consists of three parts: application itself, web service (server) and, optionally, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Add-in. In order to install and use application you will always need to install TeamDef Web Service which serves as server for the application and the add-in.

TeamDef application and add-in communicates with TeamDef Web service to obtain all data stored in the TeamDef database and, therefore, the web service is important component of the application. Whenever you are using the application (or the add-in), you retrieve, insert or edit data stored in the application database through this web service.

On the other hand, whenever you are trying to communicate with Microsoft Team Foundation Server, TeamDef will use Microsoft Team Explorer component to achieve that.
