Azure DevOps work items explained

--

For beginners in the Agile world, Azure DevOps Work items might sound a little confusing. This article will explain what they are and their differences.

The work items represent the core of the Azure DevOps tracking system and can be a bug, a requirement, a general to-do, and so on.

Each work item has a unique ID to keep track of its references from its creation to its implementation as a piece of executable software.

There are several types of working item:

  • Epic (Basic, Agile, Scrum, and CMMI)
  • Feature (Agile, Scrum, and CMMI)
  • User Story (Agile), Product backlog item (Scrum), Requirement (CMMI)
  • Task (Basic, Agile, Scrum, and CMMI)
  • Impediment (Scrum), Issue (Agile and Basic)
  • Bug (Agile, Scrum, and CMMI)

While epics and features reflect the business focus, user stories and tasks are related to the development.
