All communication is the part of MS team system between Project managers, Software architect, Development Leads, Software test team. Following is a simple workflow to define the major function

Version controlling in Team system

Team system provides complete version controlling for the documentation and source code. It provides Branching, Changesets, Checkin/Checkout, Diffing, Shelving, Workspaces on code with very user friendly environment.

Team system Project Management
