SharePoint Products and Team Foundation Server
By adding one or more servers running SharePoint Products to your deployment, you can add Web publishing and project collaboration features to Team Foundation. These features can improve communication and increase sharing ideas among users who are assigned tasks in team projects. The project portal for your team project provides a central location for storing documents, posting announcements, listing build information, and reporting on your team project status. To utilize the integration between Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and SharePoint Products, you must add users to one or more groups and roles in SharePoint Products, depending on the functionality required to do their jobs.
In addition, you can customize SharePoint Web applications in a number of ways to better meet the needs of your organization, including organizing Web sites in a predictable hierarchy or sharing process guidance across your organization.
