On Friday at the Queensland VSTS User Group Matthew Rowan mentioned an open-source system tray utility he’d written called TFS Working On. This utility allows developers to select the work item they are currently working on and it will record the time spent, add it to the work item’s history, as well as updating the work completed and work remaining fields appropriately.

Matthew will be presenting at the December user group meeting about this and how they leveraged the Team System OLAP cube for reporting time and doing evidence-based scheduling.
