Today Team Companion not only reached a new milestone (v 4.7) but is also shipping simultaneously with VS 2012.
For those who are not aware, Team Companion is an Outlook add-in that allows you to manage your TFS work items, do agile planning, see the reports and SharePoint documents (associated with a team project) right from Outlook, without having to open VS. It allows you to easily send a list of work items via email, create work items directly from an email, among many other things.
It’s a tool that I’ve been using since its first version and that I recommend to all my customers.
In order to celebrate its 5th anniversary (and the VS launch), Ekobit is going to give away FREE personal licenses to anyone who requests them.
You can read the full details of the giveaway here.
