Team System for Project Managers

hi

I am quoting this from microsoft site.

"Design, develop, and test modern service-oriented solutions

Team Suite combines the Visual Studio Team System role-based products into a set that address the needs of multifunctional roles in an organization. The Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite includes the following:

Team Edition for Software Architects

Team Edition for Software Developers

Team Edition for Software Testers

With Visual Studio Team Suite, the project manager, testers, developers, and architect know where they are on the project at all times. That means less time in meetings and on e-mail or the phone, and more time delivering high quality "

Please explain the core TE are three for (1) testers (2) Developers (3) Architects.

What about Project managers....I have two views

1.I think one can buy a CAL + install team explorer with Visual studio 2005professional edition + connect to TFS and Project ,managers can performe the tasks.Correct me if i am wrong.

2.For project Management one needs to buy Team Suite.

Please comment

Statement one is more correct; project managers who are not directly involved in development activites can achieve most of what they need using Team Explorer and Team Foundation's Office integration.

Another way is to use the Sharepoint portal of the project.

Here the project manager can look to reports, download and modify documents (excel, ms project, ...)
