Telerik has just released two TFS tools : TFS Work item Manager and TFS Project Dashboard. And the best part is : They are FREE. yes you read it correctly FREE. Inf act Telerik released them, but it is Imaginet Resources who build tehm.
The tools are fully build using Telerik's RadControls for WPF, which should give a great user experience, and it is.
The version now released is still in beta, so you still could encounter a few bugs. But they have a great forum, and looking through the forum posts they do a great job with replying to the problems.
I already did a quick test and it looks good. Going to deep dive in it the next couple of days/weeks. Especially I want to see if it's better than the Episerver dashboard we are using for the moment. Also I will hceck it against the Conchango Dashboard, because the version we have in our company of teh Conchango Dashboard is very slow (They have a newer version so i will check that also).
Just encountered 2 problems for the moment:
- Starting up the taskboard from within the Work Item Manager works, but not the taskboard settings sometimes gives an error on opening.
- Didn't manage to startup the project dashboard. It gives me a black screen.
