Managing software source code in a large software development environment is not an easy task, especially when number of people working on different modules of a large project. If you have not employed a powerful system to organize your source code, then it will result in big chaos inside the organization. This includes loss of valuable time, effort and deviation from the ultimate goal.

There are several tools available in the market which make the task of managing source code an easy one. One of such tool is Visual Source Safe or commonly known as VSS. This tool enables the organization of source code of different projects on a single server and developers can work on a particular file after doing checkout from the server. Till the time he checks in the file, the file is locked for modification by other developers on that project. The VSS shows the name of the developer and the comment put by him, who has checked out the file, so that other developers come to know who is working on what part of the project. This way VSS provides an excellent project management for any software project.

Handling multiple projects from a single location is possible with VSS. At the end of the day, the VSS Server holds the latest changes made to a project. A backup from this server can be taken if required. If you want to retrieve a file, which contains the past changes, all you have to do is provide the date for which the file is required and you get the file without the changes after the specified date.
