Visual Studio Online Update - Stakeholder Account

Just got an email today for some new features in Visual Studio online.  My favorite is the new stakeholder user.

I have a small project that I am using the free Visual Studio online.  One of the limitations of this is you can only have 5 user accounts.  After that you have to start paying. Now the fee is only $10 per month, which is very fair. However I still will save $10 where I can.

Using this feature I am able to make the BA, PM and other project stakeholders have access to view and create tasks.  Freeing up my five free accounts to only developers who need access to builds and source control.

Thanks to the Visual Studio Online team for the nice new feature.
