Because the relationship between application development and the IT operations teams is critical, Microsoft has released a CTP of a new connector between System Center and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 that helps the coordination between development and operations. The connector enables an operations team to assign application performance monitoring and diagnostic information gathered by System Center to TFS as operational work items, enabling application development to quickly identify the root cause in the code itself and develop a fix.

For more info and to download the CTP1, go to SC Operations Manager Connector for VS Team Foundation Server (preview).
