Working with Backlogs and Boards

Abstract

Keeping track of the work that your team does is important so you can make process improvements to your team’s way of working and increase productivity. The work of your team can be captured as work items in Azure DevOps, and you can use various boards and backlogs to organize and plan the work items. In this chapter, we’ll cover the options you have in Azure Boards to organize your work hierarchically, to plan the work process using Kanban, and to use iterations to plan for time-based cycles of work. We will also discuss the available features to successfully run your project teams with Agile/Scrum or with traditional processes, including the options you have to handle software bugs discovered during the development and testing processes or in production.
