Team Foundation Server 2010 will be getting some major overhauls to the setup and administration experience. In this interview, Ed Holloway, senior program manager for Team Foundation Server, talks about the changes his team is making. By the end of this interview, Ed will have completely deployed a 1-server Team Foundation Server 2010 instance.

Brian Harry, technical fellow at Microsoft, has pretty much become synonymous with Team Foundation Server. He not only leads the Team Foundation Server team in Raleigh, North Carolina, he also has the most widely read blog about what's going on with Team Foundation Server. But even Brian hasn't been saying much about Team Foundation Server 2010 until this week. I sat down with Brian and let him finally spill the beans on what his team has been working on. Brian remains fairly high-level for this interview because there's a lot to cover, but we have six other interviews going live today featuring his program management team going deep on everything he talks about. I even got Brian to talk a bit about his farm which has been keeping him busy outside of work. :-)

Unlike the other videos in today's series this one doesn't focus specifically on Team Foundation Server 2010. But since I was "in the neighborhood" I dropped by Doug Neumann's office to catch up on the latest tools and samples available for people wishing to migrate to or synchronize with Team Foundation Server. As the popularity of Team Foundation Server continues to rise, so does the demand for migration and synchronization solutions. Doug's team has been working hard to help people in this area. The sites Doug mentions in this interview are: TFS Migration and Synchronization Toolkit Timely Migration TFS to TFS Migration Tool Migration and Integration Solutions

In addition to being one of the nicest guys I know, Jim Lamb also knows a thing or two about build automation. Jim is the program manager responsible for the Team Build capability of Team Foundation Server. Team Build was one of the biggest areas of improvement for Team Foundation Server 2008, but that hasn't stopped the team from doing even more landmark improvments in Team Foundation Server 2010. Jim shows off how Team Build 2010 will take advantage of Windows Workflow, build agent pooling, distributed asynchronized builds, and two new types of build called "buddy builds" and gated check-ins.

Is your source control branching out of control? How much time have you wasted trying to discover which branches your code changes have been merged into? What are the code-level differences between your main, test, and production branches? Branch visualizations to the rescue! Matthew Mitrik, program manager for Team Foundation Server, demonstrated some of the awesome new branch visualization capabilities coming in Team Foundation Server 2010. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download.

A single Team Foundation Server 2008 instance can support thousands of developers working on hundreds of projects. But what if you need even more than that? How do you drive increased uptime and availability of your server to keep your developers productive? Team Foundation Server can already scale up with better hardware, but how do you scale out with additional machines? Mario Rodriguez is part of the team coming up with solutions to these problems. Mario walks us through the new architecture for Team Foundation Server 2010 being delivered as an overall effort known as Enterprise Team Foundation Server Management.

Visual Studio Team System Web Access has become an increasingly popular way for people to access Team Foundation Server. In this interview we meet Hakan Eskici who demonstrates some of the upcoming features his team is working on for Visual Studio Team System Web Access 2010. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download.

Are you tired of constantly setting breakpoints to hone in on a pesky bug? How would you like to be able to step "back in time" through your debugger? The Historical Debugger in Visual Studio Team System 2010 promises to revolutionize your debugging experience. Habib Heydarian takes us through a demonstration of just a few of its capabilities. But wait... there's more! Habib also shows us the new Test Impact Analysis feature his team is working on. With Test Impact Analysis it's possible to determine which of your tests will be... well... impacted by the code changes you're making! Not only does this mean that your unit test suite can run more quickly, but it can also lead to better testing and fewer bugs in software projects. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download.

I sat down with James Whittaker, software testing pundit and principal architect for Visual Studio Team System's testing capabilities, to learn more about the software quality tools coming in Visual Studio Team System 2010. The last time we saw James he wasn't allowed to say anything about this particular release, but now that marketing has let the cat out of the bag James is excited to start talking about bridging the developer-tester divide.

Naysawn Naderi takes us through manual testing in Visual Studio Team System 2010. Naysawn shows off how the manual testing capabilities allow not only for better authoring and execution of manual tests, but can also be a tool to help automate portions of manual tests as well. Finally, Naysawn shows how to turn a manual test into a coded test which can then be fully automated. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download.

Ameya Bhatawdekar, a program manager for Team Foundation Server, took a few minutes to take us through the end-to-end storyboards for how Team Foundation Server 2010 will integrate with Microsoft Project Server to enable true enterprise-wide collaboration. Note that this is not a demo of working software (yet), but it's the next best thing - a detailed storyboard walkthrough of mocked-up screenshots.

PS: For people looking for integration between Team Foundation Server 2008 and Project Server today, check out the Connector on Codeplex.

How can you ensure that a requirement has been sufficiently tested? How do you track the work that goes into a specific feature? How much work is left to do before a feature is completed, and how does that feature relate to bigger scenarios or user stories? Siddharth Bhatia, a senior group program manager for Visual Studio Team System, takes us through an end-to-end example of how Visual Studio Team System 2010 will help an organization manage their requirements throughout the lifecycle of a software project. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download. Update: This video was re-encoded to fix some indexing issues at 2:30 p.m. PST. If you downloaded a version prior to that please download a new copy.

Stephanie Saad shows us a quick demonstration of how Visual Studio Team System 2010 will enable teams to be more agile. In this demonstration she shows the new Agile planning worksheet for Excel which can be used to easily balance resources, manage your backlog, and generate ad hoc reports.

"Business Alignment" is one of the key themes for the upcoming Visual Studio Team System 2010 release. But what does that mean, exactly? We sat down with Lori Lamkin, product unit manager for Team Foundation Server, and Stephanie Saad, group program manager, to find out. In this interview Lori and Stephanie outline the ways that Visual Studio Team System 2010 will empower teams to more effectively build software and to better integrate those development projects with the rest of the organization.

Cameron Skinner, Product Unit Manager, gives us an overview of the new architecture tools coming in Visual Studio Team System 2010. Cameron tells us what types of designers his team is building, about the decision to support UML, and how this relates to "Oslo" and their modeling strategy.

"Top-down" design is an approach that the Visual Studio Architect team is enabling with their upcoming release, Visual Studio Team System 2010. In this "humanized screencast" we asked Mark Groves, senior program manager, to show us a demonstration of the new UML designers the team is building and how this can be applied to a "top-down" approach when building software. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download.

Suhail Dutta, a program manager on the Visual Studio Team System Architect team, gives us a demonstration of the "bottom-up" design approach which will be possible with the Visual Studio Team System 2010 Architect product. With "bottom-up" design, you can quickly reverse engineer an existing code base to construct models and examine relationships between pieces of code. Suhail also shows off some of the new UML designers coming in Visual Studio Team System 2010. This "Humanized Screencast" is best viewed at fullscreen using the high-quality WMV download.

I recently sat down with James Whittaker who is a Principal Program Manager Architect on the Visual Studio Team System Test Edition team. James is tasked with helping to shape the next wave of testing tools coming out of the Visual Studio Team System family of products. And since software testing is one of the major "pillars" of for the "Rosario" release of Team System, James has been hard at work. James isn't able to comment on specific features of Rosario just yet, but instead we got his insights about how he sees software testing evolving over the next few years to help testers become more effective at finding bugs... before the customer does. For more information on software testing techniques featuring James and company be sure to check out the MSDN Tester Center.

Reader's of Brian Harry's blog will be familiar with the dogfooding statistics he posts about related to how we use Team Foundation Server at Microsoft. Brian has blogged about our deployment topology, the number of teams using TFS, the sheer scale of the number of work items and check-ins, and so on.But a question which frequently comes up is related to how Microsoft uses Team Foundation Server to really drive business decisions. How do you know if you're on schedule? When will a feature be done ? Where might additional resources be required? What are the latest roadblocks being faced across your teams? Answering these questions across a team of even ten people can be a challenge, let alone the hundreds or even thousands of people who work on products of Microsoft scale. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Beehler who is the Chief of Staff for Visual Studio Team System. In addition to having a really cool title, Jeff is responsible for overall coordination of the teams who build Visual Studio Team System. Jeff has spent his career at Microsoft inventing better processes for managing large software projects, and he shared with us some of the ways he relies on Team Foundation Server every day to help him make project management decisions.

You've seen the Zune, and you've seen the newly remodeled Zune Markeplace, but have you ever wondered about the magic which goes on behind the scenes to get the music from the artists and studios into the Marketplace?We visited Meher Daud on the Zune team whose job is to ensure that the Zune Content Ingestion Pipeline keeps flowing. It turns out that she uses Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals (aka DBPro) to help her in her job, so I also brought Mairead O'Donovan with me from the DBPro team to find out more.(And sorry, the yellow Zune was a special ship gift that members of the Zune team got so it's not available for purchase.
