Tips For Project Managers

• Update the Wiki page for your project: Important information to include would be
  • Your name and contact information
  • A brief description of your project
  • Instructions on how to join the project
• Use 2 different projects: One for distribution and one for source control. If you distribute your source control project, any one who downloads your project for evaluation will get a prompt to log in to source control.
• Prefix your checkins with the project name: Every checkin is listed under the Source Code tab. It is very helpful to show the project that the checkin applies to.
• Prefix your work items with the project name: Even though you can filter work items by project. It is nice to see, at a glance, what project the work item belongs to.
• Prefix your discussion threads with the project name: This allows discussions to be easily identified by project.
