Development and Management Standards

The main motivation for MSF is to define a method that mixes agile and traditional techniques to get the best of the two approaches. In fact, according to the Visual Studio Team System (2004), agile relies too much on individual ability, while traditional techniques can be cumbersome and slow to adapt. The framework has evolved over time, accommodating the experience gotten from the field. See Microsoft (2013) for the latest definition of the framework.
