I may have misunderstood the Total Team projects graph but I thought there was a maximum number of team projects you could have and after, I think 150, TFS slow down. If this is the case, how did you get around this limit?

Good question. That total Team Projects number is spread across about 25 or so Team Foundation servers (I'm not sure of the exact number). Also, I think we are publishing a number of around 300-500 per server depending on how complex your process template is.

And, in TFS 2008 SP1, we have done some work to significantly increace this number too.

Are the TF Servers linked in some way so you can view all team projects or do you have to go a specific TF server than has the team project on. I imagine if there are linked then that would be a very large list to scroll through, unless some form of filtering is applied up front.

Today, TFS does not really support any cross server linking/reporting - each server is an island. In Rosario we are adding this ability but also adding a new "project directory" that allows you to hierarchically organize all of your projects in a way that is meaningful to you.

Brian, can you comment on what are the major obstacles to moving? Is it merely size/effort, or does it center around features, culture, etc?

Perhaps you cannot say, but I thought I'd ask just the same.

I just translated this post into Chinese and re-posted on my blog; take a look at http://blog.csdn.net/ups216/archive/2008/05/07/2405238.aspx, if you are not happy about this. Just let me know (leixu216@gmail.com). I did this because there are many Chinese developers are really interested in how Microsoft is using their own product to improve the software development.

You mention "25 or so Team Foundation servers". I presume this isn't physical servers. Do you know how many physical machines support those 25 servers and their approximate specifications?

マイクロソフトにおける全体的な TFS の導入の記事を書いてからずいぶん時間が経ちましたが、実行する好機がやってきたようです。毎月、数多くのチームが TFS を導入し、チーム内での使用は、深く浸透してきています。私は、デベロッパーでの導入の詳細について毎月投稿していますが、この記事では、もう少し簡単に、会社全体での導入のイメージをお伝えします。
