Usage interne de Team Foundation Server chez Microsoft

Comme Jeff Beehler vient de les publier sur son blog, voici les statistiques de l'utilisation interne du produit dans les différentes équipes de développement de Microsoft. Ces données ne sont plus confidentielles. Nous l'avons rencontré la semaine dernière avec les partenaires InnerCircle et c'est une demande que nous avions formulée.

On se rapproche des 12 000 utilisateurs de Team Foundation Server dans les équipes techniques. Toutes les divisions sont concernées : Outils de développement, Systèmes d'exploitation, Office, IT interne... A la fois sur des versions 2008 et sur la prochaine version "Rosario". Pour tester les produits avant les clients :-).

Le basculement prendra encore quelques années mais la tendance est engagée et le produit suscite l'adhésion des développeurs.

Il y a des projets Team System de toutes les tailles, de quelques personnes à plusieurs centaines de personnes. Sans oublier, bien entendu plusieurs serveurs pour héberger les données.

March 2008 - VSTS Internal Service Offering Summary:

Internal adoption continues to impress, growing by 1,085 active users taking the total to 11,834 companywide! Overall growth of the service offering continues to be driven by widespread adoption in Developer Division and MSIT with steady growth by several large Divisions. The usage outside of the large product groups and MSIT is also increasing at a strong pace, see the “All Other” users tracked on the “Active Users – Service Offering” chart.

We set a new high in the number of Work Items entered Service Offering wide in a single month, with nearly a quarter of a million being created – 246,051 in March! There were only 2 other months in the history of TFS with > 100,000 Work Items created: December 2007 with 154,926 and February 2008 with 112,441.

There were 104 new Projects created in March, this is the 11^th month in a row with >100 projects being created per month.

Here’s a quick summary of the growth at a high level:

Active Users Across Service Offering:

Developer Division, MSIT, SQL, MSN/Windows Live, and MSCOM all hit new peaks of active users in March. The growth of all other instances combined is continuing to mirror the growth rates of DevDiv and MSIT.

Active Users & Projects Across Service Offering:

At the beginning of the Fiscal Year, we set the goal of having 12,000 Active Users and 1,800 Projects in TFS. As you can see, we’ll be blowing those numbers out of the water by the end of the fiscal year.

Work Items – Stored in TFS 2008 & Rosario IR:

Here are details on the number of Work Items stored based on releases this month (TFS 2008 RTM and on the early Rosario bits). March was a new record for Work Items being entered, with 246,051 being created across the Service Offering!

The following shows the highest number of Work Items per individual TFS instance for TFS 2008 and Rosario IR:

Team Build – Service Offering:

There was a major increase this month in the use of Team Build. As you can see the numbers literally have shot through the roof with MSIT and one of the Consolidated instances greatly increasing the use of Team Build. For details on number of builds on specific instances see the table below.
