The application has provided the most suitable agile tools for managing projects in the organization. It tracks closely the task development infrastructure to enhance best implementation practices. My team has been depending on this platform for the last one year and the results have come out with positive ROI. Azure DevOps Services helps each department in performance modelling.

We use ADO for a wide range of things. We create work items in there, essentially being a unique number that we can associate with a project. We also use ADO to create features, user stories, acceptance criteria, and test cases in ADO. The linking system in ADO allows good visibility across these.

We use ADO to manage our entire pipeline of work. Backlog items, tasks, and bugs, code repositories and pull requests, code reviews, pipeline management, releases and CI/CD, testing, deployment, and oversight. Overall, our whole process depends on the capabilities that DevOps brings to the table and wouldn't be the same, otherwise.

Earlier, we used the traditional whiteboard method to track our 2-week sprint activities, but now with Azure, we have so much evolved as it is a cloud service, and everyone can update their tasks on the board from anywhere. Azure Is used for Sprint planning, Test, and Defect management, As it offers a complete solution from task creation until defect closure.

I use Azure DevOps to schedule runs for automated test cases. It provides the feature to share results via Webhooks. So the team is able to know about the status of the test runs by alerts configured via Webhooks.It helps to track builds and perform dependency checks. It helps to create builds and deploy them.

Azure DevOps Services are used to manage our daily work tasks. This helps us to keep track of the progress of each task accordingly, with this we can check the status of each task from one stage to another, we can assign the task to the correct personnel within the organization, and leave comments/attachments inside as well.

As an IT Service Manager, I use Azure DevOps Services to improve on our existing software development and IT service management processes. We mostly use the built-in source control, work tracking, build automation, and release management functions of Azure DevOps. Our use case involves several software development projects and focuses mainly on Source Control and Collaboration to allow our dev teams to securely store and collaborate on their code, Work item tracking to track the progress of bug fixes and enhancements, as well as user stories, Build Automation to reduce errors and speed up the dev cycle Automating deployments using the built-in release management functions.

We use Azure DevOps to host our code repository. This has helped make it easy to integrate with Visual Studio to be able to write code and save it to the cloud. We are also using it as our Kanban board for ongoing projects to keep developers on track. This has helped our team keep track of tasks within multiple projects.

We use Azure DevOps for the CI CD of our applications and the scrum boards. We also create artifacts and consume those artifacts in our applications All our reports are also available on it. With another extension, we can add our time tracking for items in the PBI. To get an overview of open PR, we configured some dashboards.

Azure DevOps offers a wide variety of tools for a CI/CD environment and it's really useful. We are moving from a static build model to an automated one and so VSTS has the tools we need to continue growing in the future. We started using VSTS, now Azure DevOps, as a code repository only and that's the main use within our organization.

We are currently using Azure DevOps Services to manage the entire software development cycle. Azure Board, pipelines, and test cases are wonderful features in one platform. when you use pipelines, you will have drag and drop choices for quickly building your CI/CD pipelines. Azure Board will help you to manage your project management in an effective way.

In my opinion, This is one of the Hottest products right now booming in the market. This has solved lot of problems in terms of Automation and End to End Deployments. In our organization, We are using this for
1. To track Team's Efforts in terms of User stories and Assigning Tasks.
2. Storing all the code and performing End to End Deployment and Testing from Development phase to Production Phase.

This has actually solved a lot of problems which all the Team members used to face few years back, setting the tasks, scope, completion is now smoother and easier for everyone.
We also have the option to Integrate with other software's and perform the deployments which is a huge plus.

Azure DevOps is used for project management of our sprint tickets to assign within team and provide the dashboard information to our project managers. The user story is easy to create and assign to the owner and then create the sub-task to assign within the user for different tasks like (Development, Peer QA, Final QA e.t.c)

Our organization is using Azure DevOps for a SaaS-based code repository and we also use it for tracking our Agile/Scrum processes in our Application Development and IT Operations departments. It allows a central, cloud-based solution for our tracking our CI/CD pipelines and simplifies tracking our stories and features during our two-week Sprint cycles. It is also well used by the QA for their test cases and testing.

We are new to using Azure DevOps Services, we use a different tool for DevOps. This year, we have started the implementation of Azure DevOps for some applications, especially D365 applications. At the moment, we use it only for Development, QA and UAT, we haven't done any Production deployment yet, however, early next year we are going to start doing it.

We use Azure DevOps Services as our main DevOps platform for our IT projects.
The product usage changes from a project to another.
The most used capability is the agile planning tool, for Dev and non dev IT projects management.
We also use the GIT code versioning tools, along with DevOps build/deployment pipelines, in Microsoft technologies based Dev projects.
We are now planning trainings so that we can use the testing tools properly as well

Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is our entire enterprise deployment strategic platform. Coming from a VSTS/TFS background, it's a natural choice. Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is used for scrum product backlog management, task assignment, test case management, bug tracking, source version management, change review, and continuous integration and deployment. It's a great ecosystem and with git hub acquisition, the product is very versatile and future proof.

Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) is being used by the entire company to provide a solution to continuous integration and continuous delivery. We host our code base on Azure DevOps Services (formerly VSTS) and build delivery pipelines with it. It shortens our software development cycle and helps ensure the quality of our deployment. We are very happy with it.

Azure DevOps or ADO (as we call it) is used by the IT department in developing and also transforming multiple legacy applications to Modern Microservices based applications and architecture. It enables seamless development by offering multiple tools that are required to develop modern applications in Agile-based methodologies. It enables seamless Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) process, and everything is bundled in a user-friendly manner.

We use Azure DevOps internally to manage some of our hardware projects, leveraging the project management and resource sharing features of the platform. With various clients, we leverage the code repository and pipeline features in addition to project management to provide a full fledged CI/CD development workflow for new and continued work.

We use Azure DevOps/VSTS for the entire agile approach to software development at the organization I work for. We use Azure Boards for managing work in sprints, providing us with live features for planning & retrospectives. We use the Azure Repos feature for Git version control of our code and for PR processes, and pipelines & releases for building, linting, and testing code & deploying code to multiple environments via a continuous integration approach. We use Azure Artifacts to host our NuGet packages to be used by multiple projects for code reusability.
