Azure DevOps Services – Complement Your Workflows
Gain access to multiple tools for agile working! Azure Boards helps you optimise your planning, transparency and team communication for the efficient management of complex projects. Use customisable Kanban boards as well as tools for visualisation, reporting and collaboration. This lets you support agile frameworks such as Kanban, Scrum or SAFe.
Manage your code with Azure Repos. Azure Repos includes several version control services. Track changes to your code over time by storing snapshots. In addition to securing your work, Azure Repos helps you coordinate code changes within your team. You can choose between centralised version control via Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) and distributed version control via Git.
Check your code for reliability! Azure Test Plans unites multiple browser-based services like status reports, test plans and test tools. Conduct user acceptance testing, exploratory as well as manual testing and collect feedback from the whole team. With Azure Test Plans, your code quality and development collaboration can reach the next level.
Azure Pipelines supports you in the quality assurance of your software development processes with CI/CD: With continuous integration (CI), you can test code continuously and centrally – in a fully automated way. With continuous delivery and continuous deployment (CD), you can regularly deploy applications – either manually or in an automated way. Optimise your application development process for mobile, desktop and web solutions with Azure Pipelines by connecting your pipeline to Git or repositories like GitHub and make your code available to the entire team.
Use Azure Artifacts to deploy and manage your software packages. Azure Artifacts supports various services and package feeds like NuGet, Maven, npm and others. Share your packages with certain teams or the entire organisation. Public sharing is also possible. Add artifacts to your CI/CD pipeline and simplify even complex build jobs significantly.

Benefits of Azure DevOps
Transparent and Flexible Project Planning
Create backlogs and manage development processes through agile methods like Scrum or Kanban. Visualise your project's progress transparently, identify mistakes and advance your project flexibly using dashboards.
Automated Processes During Development
Thanks to Azure DevOps, CI and CD, all DevOps processes can be automated – from code development to cloud deployment. This allows you to quickly develop repeatable deployments and automated workflows.
Reliable Release Management Facilitates Deployment
Make deployment processes controllable, scalable and repeatable. To achieve this, Azure DevOps provides you with both a manual approval process and automated release management based on previously defined quality bars.
Effective Monitoring for Smooth Operations
Minimise downtime through smart management and troubleshooting. Azure DevOps brings together tools that ensure early problem detection through comprehensive telemetry data and automated alert systems. Fix problems earlier than the competition.
Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Azure DevOps
Provide your cloud resources continuously, repeatedly and reliably with IaC.
Thanks to IaC, you can define and deploy your infrastructure in the form of networks, virtual machines, etc., making the provision of your cloud infrastructure versionable, migratable and standardised. This minimises human error and is particularly suitable for complex and extensive data projects.
