Forecast delivery dates with confidence. Score backlog quality across teams. Stop guessing, start shipping.
🎁 14-day free Pro trial — no credit card required. Cancel anytime.
Nexus Hub turns Azure DevOps Boards into a strategic forecasting workspace. Three integrated modules — quality scoring, team-level backlog intelligence, and probabilistic delivery analytics — give product leaders, scrum masters, and engineering managers the data they need to commit with confidence.
📊 Project health at a glance
A unified Overview module brings the signals that matter — backlog quality, scope, throughput, and forecast — into a single dashboard so you don't have to assemble them from spreadsheets.
- At-a-glance KPIs — teams monitored, items in scope, average backlog quality, and pinned delivery forecast
- Module status badges — instantly see which areas are On track, Need attention, or Watch list
- Recommended actions — prioritized list of refinements with one-click drill-down
- Recent activity feed — automatic events when scores drop, new items sync, or simulations run
📋 Backlog IQ — Quality scoring for every team
Backlog IQ ranks every team in your project by the quality of their backlog and exposes the specific items that block sprint readiness. Built on the I.N.V.E.S.T framework with weighted criteria for User Stories, Features, and Epics.
- Per-team rankings with average score, item count, and 7-day trend
- Drill-down into individual work items below the 70% healthy threshold
- Framework-aware scoring — INVEST for stories, Feature Quality for features, Product Outcome for epics
- Healthy threshold benchmarks calibrated against TRX22 industry references
- Refinement actions scheduled directly from the dashboard
📈 Predictive Analytics — Monte Carlo forecasting
Run 10,000+ Monte Carlo simulations against your team's real throughput history to answer the only two questions stakeholders actually care about:
- When will we be done? — pin a backlog, get probabilistic delivery dates (P50 / P85 / P95)
- How much can we deliver by date X? — capacity mode for date-driven planning
- AI Semantic Adjustment — detects risk markers (
legacy, refactor, spike, migration) and adjusts forecast variance
- Outlier detection with IQR — keeps one explosive sprint from skewing your baseline
- Story Points or item count — works for either estimation discipline
- Pin a target date and track confidence drift week over week
Real-time quality scoring runs inside every Work Item, so authors get feedback the moment a story takes shape — not after sprint planning fails.
- Scores any open Work Item — User Story, Feature, or Epic
- I.N.V.E.S.T dimensions broken out individually with weights
- Actionable recommendations explain what is missing and why
- AI risk adjustment flags semantic ambiguity (legacy mentions, vague verbs, undefined personas)
- Read-only OAuth scopes (
vso.work, vso.project) — the extension never modifies your work items
