Connect a Team to Azure DevOps

Link an Azure DevOps organization with your Microsoft work account, then pick the Organization, Project, and Team a team tracks — one connection covers both Boards and Repos.

Open in Everview

Azure DevOps is a live integration, and it is the one provider whose single connection covers both halves of a team's delivery system: Boards (work items, sprints, backlogs) and Repos (pull requests, commits, pipeline runs).

Link your Azure DevOps account

  1. Open Connected Apps and choose Azure DevOps.
  2. Sign in with your Microsoft work account (Microsoft Entra ID) and accept the requested access. Everview acts as you, with your permissions — nothing more.
  3. Everview lists the Azure DevOps organizations in your directory and creates a first team from your first project's default team automatically. Work items and sprints sync right away; pull requests, commits, and build history follow.

Two sign-in notes:

  • Depending on your company's policy, an admin may need to approve Everview the first time anyone connects. Everview shows the approval link to send them; after they approve once, everyone can connect.
  • Sign-in with a personal Microsoft account isn't accepted, so organizations tied to personal accounts can't be connected — Microsoft's documentation covers moving an organization into a directory.

Choose what a team tracks

  1. Open Teams from the Organization Menu, then create or open a team.
  2. Set the Team name, then choose your connected Azure DevOps account under Organization.
  3. Under Data Source in Azure DevOps, pick the Organization, the Project, and the Team — the same slice a board shows in Azure DevOps: that team's backlog and its sprints.
  1. Click Create Team to save.

Everview reads the project's process configuration (Agile, Scrum, Basic, CMMI, or a custom process) to learn its work item types and estimate field — there is nothing to map by hand.

If your organization isn't listed

Azure DevOps organizations live in a specific Microsoft directory. If you use one as a guest of another company's directory — common for consultants and partner teams — connect it with "Add organizations from another directory" in Connected Apps: you sign in once more with the account that backs that organization.

What to do about it

Once connected, set the team's workflow preferences — default work item type, capacity, and member allocation — in Set Team Capacity and Workflow Preferences. Everview writes back only when you act: creating and editing work items, moving them between sprints, changing states, comments, links, and sprint create/complete all round-trip to Azure DevOps with your permissions. Disconnecting from Connected Apps removes the event subscriptions Everview created and stops syncing — your Azure DevOps data itself is never touched.
