Integrate with Azure DevOps

Keep information flowing

Configure your integration to match how your team works. Link corresponding record types, map default and custom fields, and sync statuses between systems. Specify the direction of updates for each field mapping so everyone sees the right information in the right place. Then, create an integration template so you can reuse the same configuration for consistency.

Import work items from Azure DevOps

Populate your plans with existing features in Azure DevOps. Use the integration to quickly move relevant data into Aha! Roadmaps — giving you a jump-start as you define your product roadmap. A link will be established between corresponding records, keeping both systems in sync as you make changes.

Coordinate implementation plans

Define features, organize releases, and set priorities in Aha! Roadmaps. When work is ready for development, assign it to engineering in Azure DevOps. Keep estimates and dependencies in sync as the team scopes out the technical details, and adjust your plans as needed. See which sprint each feature is assigned to as work gets underway.

View the latest progress

Keep track of all the great work happening during development directly in Aha! Roadmaps. Monitor release progress by sprint and see the percentage of work completed for each feature. Automatic updates keep both teams informed of any changes — so everyone stays in lockstep as you bring your plans to life. View statuses on roadmaps and reports to clearly communicate how everything is progressing.

To set up an integration with Azure DevOps, you need to be a workspace owner in Aha! Roadmaps for the workspace you wish to integrate. You will also need an Azure DevOps account with create/edit records permissions in the project you plan to integrate. In Aha! Roadmaps:

• Navigate to Settings ⚙️ Workspace and click the + icon next to Integrations

• Select either Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server to launch the integration configuration builder

• Follow the steps to name your integration and, optionally, select a template

• Click Save and continue

• Follow the instructions to authenticate with valid Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server credentials

Once you validate the integration, you can:

• Select an Azure DevOps Project to link with your workspace in Aha! Roadmaps

• Specify a default area for new records you send from Aha! to Azure DevOps, or use DO or custom fields to create multiple default paths

• Customize your integration by configuring mappings using our recommendations, or map individual custom fields to each other so teams in both tools get the right information in the right place

You can set up as many integrations as necessary and leverage templates to apply consistent configurations to multiple projects. Update your mappings any time, and click a single button to reload the configuration without losing existing links between integrated records.

For detailed instructions on how to do this for Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server, read our support documentation. Or contact our Customer Success team at support@aha.io for help setting up your integration.

Azure DevOps is an open platform that provides a set of tools for managing software development, including building, testing, and deploying solutions. Developers can work in the cloud using Azure DevOps Services or on-premises using Azure DevOps Server. Users can leverage source code management, CI/CD pipelines, project management, and testing. Azure DevOps also integrates well with other services, making it a versatile platform for small- and large-scale projects.
