Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2012 introduce many high-value features that formerly required 3rd party tools and plugins.  Code reviews and task boards/Kanban are the obvious ones, but there are other new tools for Agile development and collaboration that should not be missed: new planning tools, continuous feedback, and storyboarding features.  The Agile Manifesto values individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and yes, tooling often gets in the way – but some of these features break down those old clichés.  We’ll take a look at these features in the context of an Agile or Scrum team.
