Overall Satisfaction with Team Foundation Server

We used TFS in conjunction with a SharePoint upgrade to roll out Agile/Scrum. The key thing was traceability between MS products (linking). There were multiple project teams and a scrum of scrums was used. Adoption rate was decent, but it was tough to cut the cord on share folders.
  • Traceability between MS Suite
  • Clear what's a Bug, User Story, Feature, Epic
  • Linking test cases
  • Bad use of real estate is it's No. 1 failing, why all the white space?
  • Too much functionality makes it difficult for new users to jump onboard - it's daunting at first
  • Configuring dashboards is easy, but not necessarily what you want to show to upper management - needs some tweaking
TFS is more robust; JIRA is more user friendly for management
If you're JUST doing project management, you probably don't need it - too powerful. If you're doing code and development, it's more useful than something that is basically just an issue tracker/kanban board/wiki.
