The integration at a glance
Using Workpath’s integration with Azure DevOps, you can link the strategic Goals of your organization to the everyday work of your teams in Azure DevOps Boards:
- Link Azure DevOps work items to Workpath Goals directly from within Azure DevOps Services
- In Azure DevOps, see the linked Goal and its progress directly next to related work items
- In Workpath, see all work items linked to a goal, and the status of all child work items, if any
How the integration works
Link Azure DevOps work items to Workpath Goals
Once the Azure DevOps integration is configured, you will see a “Workpath” section in the work item form. If the current user has the corresponding rights on Azure DevOps and Workpath, you will be able to link work items to Workpath Goals. Once linked, the integration will show the progress of the linked Goal and its Key Results:
See linked Azure DevOps work items in Workpath
After you’ve linked a work item, navigate to the Goal page (for example by clicking on the Goal name within Azure). You will see all work items linked to this particular Goal at the Initiative (output) section.
Click on an epic, or any work item with child work items, to see all contained issues and their status.
The following information are synchronized, which means that if you change these in the Azure DevOps board, after five minutes or less, they will be reflected in Workpath:
- Work item title
- Work item status
- List of work items inside an epic, or other work item types which can contain children
- Work item title
- Work item status
This data is visible to any Workpath user who can see the linked Goal. If work item titles contain sensitive information, consider making the Goal private.
