DevOps InControl

Stay in control of your Azure DevOps projects — without leaving Azure DevOps.

DevOps InControl brings proactive backlog quality checks, pull-request monitoring, velocity and capacity insight, roadmap planning and developer assessment directly into your Azure DevOps project as native hubs and dashboard widgets.

Everything runs client-side as the signed-in user — there is no server to host, no Personal Access Token to manage and no data leaves your organization.

Features

Work Item Quality Checks

Continuously surface backlog hygiene problems:

• Orphans — items missing a required parent
• Stale sprint items — untouched work in the active sprint
• Missing estimates — story points / remaining work not set
• Unassigned — active work with no owner
• Plus tag overview and configurable per-project thresholds and ignore patterns.

Pull Request Monitor

See every active pull request across the project with flags for unreviewed, rejected, stale and approval-ready PRs, with drill-down per project.

Velocity & Capacity

Team capacity planning and velocity trends per sprint, backed by Azure DevOps team settings.

Roadmap

Lane-based roadmap planning with drag-and-drop and direct work-item linking.

Dev Assessment

PR cycle time, reviewer responsiveness and iteration metrics computed from your completed pull requests.

Sprint Populator & Template Manager

Clone sprint templates into active sprints and manage reusable work-item templates.

Pipelines & Releases

A consolidated view of build and release activity.

Dashboard Widgets

Add compact Check Summary, PR Monitor, Velocity and Roadmap tiles to any Azure DevOps dashboard.

Privacy & Security

• Runs in the Azure DevOps sandboxed iframe as the signed-in user.
• Requests only the scopes it needs: work items, code (read), build (read), release (read) and project (read).
• Stores its configuration using the Azure DevOps Extension Data Service — your data stays in your organization.

Getting Started

Install the extension, open your project, and select DevOps InControl from the project hub navigation. Pick the checks you want per project and you're set.
