Whether you're a Product Owner, Business Analyst, Scrum Master, Developer, Tester or simply someone who is working Azure Devops to build and deliver on a Product Backlog and need to know how to use the tool effectively.
Azure Devops is a large and multi purposed tool and for non technical users it can be especially confusing to use as functions that support code delivery sit alongside functions that help you manage business requirements. This course will focus on all the features and functionality that support a clear and actionable requirements backlog for Agile and SCRUM delivery. It's a great tool at encouraging Business requirements to meet technical delivery.
But the trick is How do I use Azure Devops effectively in my day to day job. This course looks to solve this problem by providing you with live demonstrations of all the necessary functionality to set up and manage a backlog for any project or change. With Step by Step walkthroughs of each feature, We will build a Product Backlog together from EPIC to Feature to user story.
We'll log Bugs, link tickets, populate future sprints, manage the board in refinements and daily standup, run queries and even build dashboards to see how the team is progressing together.
