Throughout this tutorial, Ian will walk through how to create your own project within Azure DevOps and how to get the project up and running using Agile methodology.
Let’s briefly introduce what is Agile Project Management and Kanban Boards: https://www.smartsheet.com/agile-vs-scrum-vs-waterfall-vs-kanban
WHAT IS AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
Agile software development is based on an incremental, iterative approach. Instead of in-depth planning at the beginning of the project, Agile methodologies are open to changing requirements over time and encourages constant feedback from the end users. Cross-functional teams work on iterations of a product over a period of time, and this work is organized into a backlog that is prioritized based on business or customer value. The goal of each iteration is to produce a working product.
WHAT IS KANBAN?
Kanban is Japanese for “visual sign” or “card.” It is a visual framework used to implement Agile that shows what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. It encourages small, incremental changes to your current system and does not require a certain set up or procedure (meaning, you could overlay Kanban on top of other existing workflows).
In this tutorial we explain what Azure DevOps is and how you can create a Kanban board for your project. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/
