Azure Boards

Azure Boards is part of Azure DevOps

Combine drag-and-drop sprint planning and flexible work item tracking with comprehensive traceability to have the perfect home for all your ideas–big and small.

Azure Boards is a web-based service that enables teams to plan, track, and discuss work across the entire development process, while it supports agile methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban. Azure Boards provides a customizable platform for managing work items, allowing teams to collaborate effectively and streamline their workflow.

You can track and manage work and access various functions within each of the following hubs.

• Work items: Access lists of work items based on specific criteria, such as those assigned to you, ones you follow, and work items you viewed or updated.
• Boards: View work items as cards and update their status through drag-and-drop, similar to physical sticky notes on a whiteboard. Use this feature to implement Kanban practices and visualize work flow for a team.
• Backlogs: View, plan, order, and organize work items, including using a product backlog to represent your project plan and a portfolio backlog to group work under features and epics.
• Sprints: Access your team's filtered view of work items based on a specific sprint or iteration path. Assign work to a sprint using drag-and-drop from the backlog. Interact with a backlog list or card-based Taskboard to implement Scrum practices.
• Queries: Generate custom work item lists and perform various tasks, such as triage work, make bulk updates, and view relationships between work items. Queries also allow for creating status and trend charts that can be added to dashboards.
• Delivery Plans: Management teams can view deliverables and track dependencies across multiple teams in a calendar view. Delivery plans support tasks such as viewing up to 15 team backlogs, custom portfolio backlogs and epics, and work that spans several iterations. Users can add backlog items to a plan, view rollup progress of features and epics, and dependencies between work items.
• Analytics views: Create highly sophisticated Power BI reports, based on Azure Boards data (work items). Access default Analytics views or create a custom view.
