How to start using TFS?


Our team have just installed TFS on one of the servers. But problem is, none of us in the agile XP team knows how to use it! Can someone give links to tutorials or any help files that we can use to learn on it?

We dont even know the very basic of connecting a project to a agile project in VS2005...

Thanks in advance.

I think these two articles will give a nice overview and "how to use" for each discipline:

Overview: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/00/TeamSystem/

more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/witinvs05tmsys.asp

After that you can start using TFS. To learn extensibility, I suggest downloading SDK from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend
