Microsoft TFS Adoption Update

It’s been a while now since I have an overall look at the adoption of TFS at Microsoft.  I decided to go ahead and do it this month even though some of the numbers (particularly active users) are a bit skewed by the recent holidays.  Regardless, there’s some good data here.  One big milestone that we passed recently is more ...

Jan '09 DevDiv Dogfood Statistics

It has been a long time since I updated you on DevDiv TFS dogfood usage statistics.  Sorry about that - it was a very busy fall.  The last update was in September so the deltas in the numbers below reflect changes since then.  As you can see usage in most respects continues to grow  at a pretty substantial rate.  We've...

September '08 DevDiv TFS Dogfood Statistics

Well, I let it happen again :(.  It's been over two months since my last report on this and my blog has gone sadly quiet in general.  As I'd mentioned before, it's been an unbelievably busy summer but I think I'm finally coming out of it.  With luck you'll see quite a few posts this week and then my stream of 3 or 4 a week ...

July '08 DevDiv TFS Dogfood Statistics

I missed the June Dogfood statistics - sorry about that.  This report represents the change since my last dogfood report in May.  The big thing that you will observe is that downloads have dropped dramatically (from a peak around ~150,000,000 to ~50,000,000).  The reason for this is that we installed a TFS proxy on our corp net ...

May '08 DevDiv TFS Dogfood Statistics

Today seems to be blogging day.  Here's post #3 of 4 or 5 that are coming today.  Sorry for the deluge but it's been a couple of weeks since I blogged. I think we are finally nearing the end of the full scale roll out of TFS to the Developer Division.  Almost everyone working on the next version of VS/.NET are now on TFS. ...

April '08 DevDiv TFS Dogfood Statistics

Due to my sabbatical, I missed the March Dogfood statistics.  In my absence, adoption has continued apace.  The team has been very busy making sure the server is behaving well and applying fixes when it is not. Looking at the graphs below, you can see that several of the statistics have really started to grow at dramatically higher ...

Feb '08 DevDiv TFS Dogfood Statistics

If you follow my dogfood statistics, you’ll notice that some of the numbers at the bottom are up quite a bit.  The +200 recent user bump represents the increase in usage as we approach the completion of the roll out of TFS to the entire division.  At this point I'm expecting the roll out to be done within 4 - 6 weeks.  ...

December '07 DevDiv Dogfood Statistics

The massive spike that I've been foreboding for a long while now has started.  In the last month the momentum towards moving the entire division over to TFS has really picked up.  A significant fraction of the branches for the development of the next version of Visual Studio/.NET Framework have been created.  Overall, I expect ...
