Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps can be accessed from url https://dev.azure.com/
Azure DevOps has organizations which can contain projects. One user can have many organizations. By default each organization can have five (5) basic users for free. The basic user has all the needed rights to manage the organization. User with Visual Studio subscription will not consume the five user limit. So an organization can have unlimited Visual Studio subscribers. There is also a stakeholder role but a user in stakeholder role will not be able to modify anything and will not have access to repos.
The url structure for a project in organization will be https://dev.azure.com/[organization]/[project] Be mindfull about how to name the organization and project!
A good source for Azure DevOps materials is Azure DevOps Labs
Creating a new project
Each project has a work item process and a version control. When creating the project one must select which work item process and which style version control is used in the project.
At Savonia’s courses we mainly use:
- Scrum as work item process
- Git as version control
These settings are very difficult to change after the project has been created so check the settings when creating the project!
Sample project
There is a public sample project where most of the information on these pages can be read in Finnish. The sample project uses Scrum process and Git as version control. The project also has some Product Backlog Items and Tasks and contains a repo to check out.
