Activity Feed

#Activity Feed

With the activity feed you can see whats happening in your team project within a glance. You can use it on your dashboard by putting a widget on it, or simply open the hub. The Activity Feed gives a summary of all recent changes of workitems, commits, pullrequests and builds. It tells who changed a task, who logged a bug and who maked committed code.

The widget makes sure you are quickly up to date of the status in te project without looking in the repository history, searching for changed work items and new builds.

For stakeholders its a great way to stay up to date about the project.

#Widget Simply add the widget to a dashboard and it will work out of the box. The widget can be used in different sizes this way it supports big teams with many updates or use it in a smaller version when the project is not very active.

For small projects the widget will be oke without configuration. For larger projects we added a bunch of settings to show only the revelant changes to you:

• control which sources (workitems, source control, builds) you want to see
• what kind of work item types have to pop up. This let you filter so you can only see the feature changes for example.
• Configure the area path so can scope on different teams

#Hub

The extension comes with a hub. The hub gives a bigger overview of the activity in your project. The hub has the same filter options that the widget has and will be persisted per user. The hub will keep loading new data when you scrolling more downwards to show more history of the project.

#Roadmap

• show aggregated feed across multiple projects; this sounds very nice to me, but at the moment it would require to much rest calls to do this and would make the widget too slow. Another thing that needs to be solved is that you can't add widgets to the main page. You can only add widgets to the project dashboards. It would be awkward to put an overview of all projects in one team project.
