ABOUT THE AUTHORS

MICKEY GOUSSET is a Principal Consultant for Infront Consulting Group, a consult-

ing company focused on the Microsoft System Center family of products. He is one
of the original Microsoft Application Lifecycle Management MVPs, and co-author of
several books about ALM, including Professional Team Foundation Server (Wrox,
2006), Professional Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio 2010
(Wrox, 2010), and Professional Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio 2012 (Wrox,
2012). Gousset runs ALM Rocks! (www.almrocks.com), where he writes about Visual Studio, TFS,
and ALM in general. He speaks around the world on ALM and System Center topics. When not
writing or working with computers, Mickey enjoys a range of hobbies, from playing on Xbox Live
(Gamer Tag: HereBDragons) to participating in local community theatre. But nothing beats his
favorite pastime: spending time with Amye, Emma, Meg, and their four dogs, two cats, and one fish.
MARTIN HINSHELWOOD is the Principal Consultant for naked ALM Consulting, a

technical and management consultancy based in Scotland that focuses on Visual
Studio ALM, TFS, and Scrum. He has been a Visual Studio ALM MVP for six years
running and was even ALM MVP of the Year in 2011. As well as working with the
Visual Studio ALM Rangers and being an ALM Ranger Champion in 2011, Martin
participates in the lean-agile community. Martin has been a Professional Scrum Trainer with
Scrum.org since early 2010. He regularly teaches Scrum courses around the world and works as an
Engagement Manager for Agility Path. Somehow he also fi nds time to maintain his blog
( and a YouTube Channel, and even speaks at many events around
the world ( In his spare time Martin can be found on excursions with his favourite people (Evangelina and Kaiden) and occasionally on Xbox
( />BRIAN RANDELL is a Partner with MCW Technologies LLC. For more than 20 years
he has been building software solutions. He educates teams on Microsoft technologies via writing and training—both in-person and on demand. He speaks regularly
at shows small and large including Microsoft’s TechEd and PDC in the United States,

Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. He’s also a consultant for companies
small and large, worldwide, including Fortune 100 companies like Microsoft. Brian is a passionate
software craftsman who still enjoys coding as he helps teams to improve their processes from idea
to shipping, and to production management and monitoring. As a long time virtualization junkie,
Brian’s an expert in Hyper-V and Lab Management. In addition, he’s become obsessed over the last
few years with natural user interfaces and how to create compelling user experiences regardless of
platform. In early 2010, he toured the world hitting most of the continents (sadly no penguins were
trained) prepping Microsoft employees and Microsoft partners for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
launch. In 2012, he and his team built some of the fi rst training content and demos for Microsoft
using Visual Studio 2012, Team Foundation Server 2012, and Windows 8. For the 2013 release, he
continued building new ALM content for use worldwide by Microsoft and its partners. He’s been a

Studio ALM MVP. When not working, Brian enjoys spending time with his wife and two children
who enjoy making him look bad on the Xbox One (with and without Kinect).
BRIAN KELLER is a Director for Microsoft, specializing in Visual Studio and application lifecycle management. He has been with Microsoft since 2002 and has presented
at conferences around the world, including TechEd, PDC, and Build. Outside of work
he enjoys spending time with his lovely wife Elisa and their awesome son Paxton.
MARTIN WOODWARD is a Senior Program Manager on the Team Foundation Server
team at Microsoft. Previously, Woodward was also Team System Most Valuable
Professional (MVP) of the year. Not only does he bring unique insight into the inner
workings of Team Foundation Server, he brings a cross-platform perspective that he is
always happy to share through his writings, on his blog at www. woodwardweb.com, or
when speaking at events internationally. Martin also co-authored Professional Application Lifecycle
Management with Visual Studio 2010 (Wrox, 2010), Professional Team Foundation Server 2010
(Wrox, 2011), Professional Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio 2012 (Wrox,

2012), and Professional Team Foundation Server 2012 (Wrox, 2013).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I’M FORTUNATE TO BE SURROUNDED by ALM MVPs who make my life much easier. Brian Randell

and Martin Hinshelwood, thank you for taking this journey with me. You both have created some
amazing content in this book, and it is much better for it. And we are even closer friends because
of it. Mike Fourie, I just don’t know what to say. You are the most amazing technical editor I have
had. You have the ability to point out all the things I missed, without making me look bad. And
your depth of knowledge is astounding. Anthony Borton, thank you for all your help and assistance
with the book. To our editors Bob Elliot and especially Tom Dinse, thank you so much for keeping

us on track and schedule, and working with us when “stuff” happens. Tom, you are an amazing editor that I would write a book with anytime. And fi nally, to Amye, Emma (14), and Meg (10), thank
you for putting up with my schedule and my late hours in getting this project completed. I could not
have done it without your love and support.

—Mickey Gousset

WITH THE MANY CHANGES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS I don’t know where to start or why I agreed to
write a book of all things. I want to thank my parents Anne and John for helping me settle back into
Scotland (it was quite a shock after three years in Seattle), without you guys I would not have been
able to start my own business. My wonderful kids Evangelina (6) and Kaiden (4) for their patience
and distraction from the world around us, you make it all worth it. Finally I want to thank Mickey
Gousset and Brian Randell for putting up with my newbie questions and issues, and Mike Fourie for
taking it easy with the technical editing.

—Martin Hinshelwood

FIRST, TO MY DEAR FRIEND MICKEY for asking me to join him. We keep fi nding new ways to have
fun. To Mr. Hinsh, I’ve enjoyed getting to know you better and look forward to many more friendly
exchanges; exchanges only friends have. Mr. Keller, I still think fondly about fi rst working with
you when you were a Product Manager and the fun we had on your fi rst tour of duty outside the
Unites States speaking. Congratulations on being a husband and father, it suites you. And to Mr.
Woodward, what can I say mate? I only wish Ballycastle were up the road for me too. That said,
every visit we have is warm and wonderful no matter what part of the globe we’re at. All four of you
made this book better and I thank you for having me on the journey. Thank you to everyone at Wrox
especially Bob Elliot, Tom Dinse, and Kezia Endsley. Your editorial guidance and continued pokes
as well as catching all the little things, got this book done in fine shape. Thank you. To our technical editor Mike Fourie, you continue to amaze me with your work ethic and I know the book is 100

times better due to your keen eye. And I can’t leave out my dear Aussie friend Anthony Borton, who
took on the job of “one more read” before we published to make sure we didn’t write something stupid. Thank you. Of course, any errors are those of myself and my co-authors. Throw stones our way.
Beyond those who were directly involved in the project, I have a few people I must mention who
have influenced my writing and general geekiness. To my business partner Ken Getz—you’ve done
more for me than you’ll ever know. I’m a better human because of you. Thank you. To Dave and
Barbara Brady who gave me my fi rst “computer” job. You gave me more than a job. You put me on
the path to a career I love. Thank you. To Ian Griffiths, you’re an inspiration to work with but a
better friend to break bread with—I look forward to more fun in the future. To Matt Nunn, from
our fi rst fun in Australia to the wonderful solutions we’ve built, it’s been great working on the “art
of the possible.” To Jon Flanders, I know at your wedding you said you still didn't like me. That's
OK. I'll take what I can get. And to Mr. Brian Harry. It started with Visual SourceSafe. You wrote
that automation interface one summer and I was lucky to work with you. Your work ethic inspires
as does your dedication to customer and craft. Thank you for always being there.
To my fi rst set of co-authors on my fi rst published book: Dr. Joe Hummel, Justin Gehtland, Jason
Masterman, and Ted Pattison. Gents, there are times in your life that you wonder what you were
thinking. That book hurt, but everything has a purpose. I said never again but I did and the lessons
learned helped. Beyond that book however, all of our teaching together, the Guerilla events, and all
the other “fun” continues to warm my heart with great memories when I think of each of you.
All the things I know about Visual Studio and TFS come from hard work and having a cadre of
wonderful people to answer questions. This includes two special groups to me: Microsoft employees in DevDiv and the Microsoft ALM MVPs. Over the years countless e-mails, IM conversations,
and phone calls have been exchanged as well as many wonderful face-to-face conversations (even
the ones that were loud). Thank you. I can’t thank you all individually, but I do want to highlight
a few in particular from Microsoft working on ALM and TFS, including Doug Seven, David Starr,
Larry Guger, Grant Holliday, William Bartholomew, Rob Caron, Chuck Sterling, Chris Patterson,
Peter Provost, Buck Hodges, Aaron Bjork, Justin Marks, Jamie Cool, Jeff Behler, Ed Holloway, Ed
Blankenship, Ewald Hofman, Matthew Mitrik, Philip Kelley, Chad Boles, Sean McBreen, Tracy
Trewin, Will Smythe, Ravi Shanker, Vijay Machiraju, and Subrahmanyam Veera Mandavilli. To my
fellow MVPs, you’re all wonderful, I’m lucky to have you as peers and thank all of you for your help
but in particular want to call out Jeff Levinson, Neno Loje, Richard Hundhausen, Adam Cogan,

Ben Day, David V. Corbin, Ognjen Bajic, Thomas Schissler, Jesse Houwing, Dylan Smith, Richard
Banks, and Jason Stangroome. Anyone not mentioned directly and forgotten, I’m sorry.
Finally, I need to thank my dear, lovely wife. You are my best friend. Even though you told me not
to write the book, you supported me when I did. Our house is a home because of you and I am a
lucky man to fi nd you here every time I come home from a trip. I see you in the eyes of our children
and that brings more joy than I would have ever imagined over twenty years ago when we fi rst met.
