Azure Boards app for Microsoft Teams

Collaboration is one of the most critical tenets of modern day software development. Developers today rely on communication platforms like Microsoft Teams extensively to get work done. Often, Teams is the place where ideas are discussed, insights are generated and product defects are identified. The same discussions then can continue in Azure Boards where development teams actually plan and manage their work. We are excited to announce the Azure Boards app for Microsoft Teams that brings work in Azure Boards closer to the team channel in Microsoft Teams.

Things you can do with the app

Azure Boards app for Teams helps you to do following things from your Microsoft Teams channel:

• Get notified whenever work items are created, updated, commented on, deleted or restored
• Use messaging extension to search and share work items
• Create new work items
• Convert a conversation in the channel into a work item using message actions
• Use work item URLs to get preview of work items. This will help to add context to the conversations in the channel
