In under four years, Mylyn’s task-focused interface has gone from a university whiteboard to a tool with over a million monthly downloads. The next big step in the evolution of developer tools is becoming more clear. Tasks and work items are more important than files, focus is more important than features, and an explicit context is a great way to automatically connect software planning to production. The Eclipse Mylyn project has restructured the integrated development environment (IDE) interaction around tasks, connecting the developer’s workflow to Agile and ALM systems. Integrating with over 50 different ALM systems, Mylyn provides the developer with unified access and features such as cross-repository linking and Agile planning. In this talk we will be announcing new developments around Mylyn that will be bringing these integration and productivity benefits to users of Microsoft TFS and developers based in Visual Studio.
