Visual Studio Roadmap

For more than five years Visual Studio has been on a journey to create an offering that connects the activities of a product across its entire lifetime. This includes the identification of business needs, software construction, release management and monitoring, support and maintenance, and even the eventual retirement of the solution. It also includes application lifecycle management (ALM) that supports the flows and transitions between the development team and the operations team.
