Description:
Azure DevOps (ADO) is the ultimate tool to help you stay organized on projects or for the lifecycle of product management. We LOVE using ADO because it gives your whole team insights into what’s happening on projects, what’s coming next, and overall helps everyone stay organized.
In the first part of our series on ADO, you’ll learn about some commonly used Work Items and how to navigate through the tool. (And some under-utilized work items that help you keep track of decisions or project changes!)
We’d love to hear how you use ADO! Leave a note in the comments.
