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 epics to Workpath Goals directly from within Azure DevOps Services
- In Azure DevOps, see the linked Goal and its progress directly next to related epics
- In Workpath, see all epics linked to a goal, and the status of all issues within those epics
How the integration works
Link Azure DevOps epics 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 epics to Workpath Goals. Once linked, the integration will show the progress of the linked Goal and its Key Results:
See linked Azure DevOps epics in Workpath
After you’ve linked an epic, navigate to the Goal page (for example by clicking on the Goal name within Azure). You will see all epics linked to this particular Goal at the Initiative (output) section.
Click on an epic 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:
- Epic title
- Epic status
- List of work items inside an epic
- Work item title
- Work item status
This data is visible to any Workpath user who can see the linked Goal. If epic or work item titles contain sensitive information, consider making the Goal private.
Click on an epic/work item title to view more details within Azure DevOps.
