Azure Storage Continuous Planning

Extension Description

The Continuous Planning extension synthesizes MS Graph org hierarchy data, area path ownership data, and work item/sprint data to create views for each team in the ADO org to enable continuous planning:

• High Level View: shows the status of all features and OKRs/KPIs of the selected team, and child teams (just standard ADO work items).

• Prioritized List: shows a reorderable list of all features owned by the team in the current planning cycle. It’s sorted in priority order, and they can see where the “line” is which denotes what Features are funded. Child team’s lists show too but are not reorderable for the selected team.

• Vital Data: shows the total capacity and a break-down of what work item categories area funded/unfunded.

How the Extension is built

The Azure DevOps extension is built using the Azure DevOps Extension SDK. The SDK enables the Web Extension to be added within the Pull Requests page as a tab. Furthermore, the Azure DevOps SDK can be initialized and send contextual data to the program.

The front-end is built with React and TypeScript with proper type-checking throughout the program. Microsoft’s Fluent UI components were utilized, as well as Microsoft’s color and theme suggestions.

There is also an Azure Function App which is setup to allow the front-end to call the Ownership API
