Demand Metrics
blue_bullet Do you know if your PPM Demand workflows are working effectively?

The ZDS Demand Metrics tool quantifies precisely which of your Demand workflow steps are bottlenecks, and which users are holding up decisions for the team.

You can use this information to design out workflow bottlenecks, figure out what users need to be re-trained or relegated, and establish practices for regular monitoring and deletion of aging requests.

The result is easy account administration and a simple to understand access scheme the Help Desk can communicate to the users.

A Kintana Source Change Control Trigger
You can add a schema trigger to track changes to your production image. It provides a very basic form of version control but it does tell you who made changes, when they were made, and saves the old source so you can easily revert to the pre-change code.

Dynamsoft Corporation released SourceAnywhere for VSS 5.2 on September 27, 2007 in two flavors : a remote access version, and a VSS replacement based on MS SQL Server with a GUI very similar to the native VSS interface.

New tools from the international community are VssMon an alert utility by Ivan-Assen Ivanov (Sofia, Bulgaria), SourceSafe2Subversion by Kirit and Tai Saelensminde (FSL Technologies, London, England), and SQL to SourceSafe Scripter by Serkan Subasi (SBS Software , Istanbul, Turkiye).

One tool that intrigues me is VSSThinClientSmart by Gerald Naveen (.Net section item 6).

I can't think of one single reason why i'd want or need to checkin and out to SourceSafe from a Pocket PC but the idea has the fascination of sin!
