Multiple TFS Projects


I am planning out our TFS strategy. I have read MS recommendations that say not to create a lot of Team Projects, but this concept mankes many of the reports useless:

If I have 10 web services in a single TFS Project, and each has its own solution file. If I build one of them, the build report contains all the check-ins since the last build, even though many of them had nothing to do with the single web service I am building.

My work item reports give me all work items for all the web services, not just the one I am working on.

...

Wy the "minimize Team Projects" recommendation?

Mike from ServiceLink
The recommendation comes from a couple things:
- Team Projects are heavyweight -- each takes several minutes to create, has zillions of settings that need to be configured, and so on
- performance degrades with more than a few hundred Team Projects

It sounds like all you need to do is create some custom reports. You can restrict reports to only look at a certain part of the source control tree, and/or a certain Area of work items.
