Global Bank: A Scenario for Visual Studio Team System 2008

Are you wondering what you can do in Visual Studio Team System 2008 that you couldn’t do before? We’ve created a series of articles to show you. In this series, we'll explore how Global Bank uses Visual Studio Team System 2008 to help design and implement a new online service. Global Bank is a fictitious, mid-sized traditional bank that offers limited services online. The company is working to determine which services it should add to its online offerings, based on competitor analysis and customer feedback.

During this series, you'll meet several of the Global Bank employees who work on this project and learn how they use Team System to complete their assigned part of the project. Here's a brief introduction to the online services team at Global Bank.
