1. Deploying Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server at Microsoft Using Visual Studio 2008 to Improve Software Development Published: June 2008
Abstract Microsoft IT used Team Foundation Server to standardize software development practices. Additionally, the solution provides improved visibility into software development at Microsoft IT. Introduction To support the IT infrastructure in the largest software company in the world, the Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) department is responsible for the ongoing development of more than 1,400 software applications that consist of approximately 2 million lines of code. These applications are a critical part of managing the day-to-day business operations at Microsoft. These business operations include the following: Sales Marketing Software licensing and operations Services Other corporate functions such as human resources (HR), legal, and finance. Microsoft IT employs approximately 11,000 people who develop and support internal business applications. As part of its mandate to support internal business applications, Microsoft IT implemented the Program Delivery Engineering Excellence strategic initiative. The goal of this initiative is to improve code quality, developer productivity, and the accuracy of the programming schedule and the programming budget for software development at Microsoft IT. To make these improvements, Microsoft IT created a series of metrics that it can use to define guidelines for software development among all of its development groups. Additionally, Microsoft IT gave these groups the tools to gather the appropriate metrics. As part of the movement toward supporting formalized development methodologies, Microsoft IT deployed Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Foundation Server in its environment. This deployment was very successful, and many projects were migrated to the new system. With the development of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft IT determined that it could expand on the improvements that Visual Studio 2005 made to developer productivity without increasing hardware costs. Additionally, because of improvements in the functionality and feature set of the new product, Microsoft IT determined that it could reduce costs when migrating development projects to the new system and increase overall developer productivity with the new system. This document describes how Microsoft IT implemented Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server to improve software development at Microsoft IT. An IT Showcase webcast called How Microsoft IT Leverages Microsoft’s Enterprise IT Development Platform includes a discussion on this topic.
