Azure devops task management
Task process
We use azure devops with the Agile process.
- Epic : Big delivery that contains many features.
- Feature : “Big enouph to be releasable”. Contains many user story.
- User story : Interactions the users or developer has with the system. Contains many task or bugs.
- Task/bug : Each steps to complete the user story
Epic and Feature are useful mostly for the management and overall project monitoring.\ User story and task are useful for the day to day development
Backlog
The backlog contains all the tasks of the project.
From the backlog, we send the user stories to the sprint where they will be complete.
Board
The general board that shows the backlog items of the entire project.
It is possible to go deeper in the hierarchy to see features or user stories instead of epics.
Sprint
We use sprints of 2 weeks.\ The sprint contains the user stories that needs to be done in the following two weeks.\ The sprint is what we use daily to check the state of user stories and thier tasks.
Sprint board
On the day to day development, we can see from the sprint board how each task of user stories are going so far and easily uderstand what there is to do during the scrum meating every morning.
