Brian created a great little video on why he likes Team Foundation Service. I figured I’d share it… https://vimeo.com/microsoftvisualstudio/review/74686407/42c694668d Brian
Since we started down the path of building an online service a couple of years ago, I have learned a lot. One of the things I’ve learned a lot about is measuring the health of a service. I don’t pretend to have the only solution to the problem so I’m happy to have anyone with a differing opinion chime in. For the purpose of this post, I’m defi...
Today we deployed our sprint 54 release. All of the “new” stuff you’ll find in this sprint are refinements of existing features: Check out the release notes for more. This sprint was also really our last TFS 2013 sprint. As you know our release is scheduled for Oct 18th and we are pretty much done. We are still fixing a last ...
Today we deployed our sprint 53 work to Team Foundation Service and posted the release notes about the changes. When I wrote last sprint’s release notes, I alluded to “one more nice big new feature”. While “big” is in the eye of the beholder, I forgot there are actually 2 “big” new features. Work Item Charting The one I was referring to last sp...
Today we are deploying the results of our Sprint 52 work. I wrote the release notes this sprint and you can check them out on the news page, so I’ll keep that short. Right now, our focus is on wrapping up all our TFS 2013 feature work – incorporating feedback, fixing the last set of bugs, signing of on our release criteria, ...
It wasn’t until after I posted my “news” post this morning and I was perusing our news site that I realized that the first news post was almost exactly 1 year ago on August 6th 2012. These are precisely the kinds of things that sneak up on you unawares. Who could have guessed that we’ve been doing this for a year now? It seems like it was just y...
Today we are deploying our sprint 51 build. You will soon be able to read the release notes here. Today’s deployment is what I’d like a lot of deployments to be like – nothing particularly big but a bunch of nice improvements. Probably the biggest thing is the next installment on my promise of an enterprise class...
Last week we completed sprint 50 and, today, the changes went live on the service. You can read more of the details of what’s new on the service news feed. One of the things I’ve had to get used to with a service is the notion of publishing features that aren’t nearly finished. In all my years of working on software I ...
Today we updated the service with our sprint 49 work. You can read the details of the significant improvements on the news blog. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a comparatively small update. We released so much on Jun 3rd for TechEd, there’s just not a lot of new stuff to show :) Two areas worth mentioning are Agil...
Sorry for being a little late with this but I’ve been traveling this week and it’s thrown me off. On Tues May 28th, we deployed our Sprint 48 build to Team Foundation Service. It was quite gratifying to see the deployment go incredibly smoothly given that the last few sprints have been a bit rough. I’d like to th...
