Where are we?

In terms of the FY14 timeline we are in the first quarter, fifth idea triage, and are working on Sprint 15 (September), as shown below:

Overview

We have transferred two ideas and are inflight with 9 projects. With the upcoming Visual Studio and TFS 2013 releases, we had an unusual spike of activity around the update of key guidance and subsequently decided against starting new projects.

We are still fine tuning our new time and feature boxed, shorter cadence and refined Ruck process, but have managed to align ourselves with the product group cadence, be more responsive and most importantly raise our quality bars of tooling projects. It is an ongoing dog-fooding and evolution process, which we started to journal in ALM Rangers dogfooding journal of the Team Foundation Service.
