<p><strong>TLDR; If you just want the step-by-step on how to work with Excel and work items <em>without</em> installing Team Explorer, jump down to the Non-Developer's Short Guide to Using Excel with TFS/VSTS Work Items on this page.</strong></p>
<p>For years, if you wanted to work with Team Foundation Server (TFS) Work Items from Excel, you had to install the Team Explorer package which basically gave you the Visual Studio Shell plus the extra bits to integrate with Office. However, starting with the 2015 release of TFS, Microsoft starting providing an installer package with just the bits you need to make Excel (and God forbid Microsoft Project) work with TFS or VSTS.</p>
<p><strong>That said, do you still need Excel integration?</strong></p>
<p>The web interface in TFS and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) has become rather amazing, so you won't often need to use Excel. For example, if you wanted to change a common field on multiple work items, you can select them in the UI (say a few Tasks on the Sprint Backlog, and select <strong>Edit</strong>:</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.brianrandell.com/content/images/2017/08/BulkEditviaWebUI.png" /></p>
<p>This will open the <strong>Edit work items</strong> dialog where you can modify multiple fields at the same time as well as add <strong>Notes for History</strong>.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.brianrandell.com/content/images/2017/08/EditWorkItems-Web.png" /></p>
<p>However, Excel provides two nice advantages.</p>
<p><ol>
<li>You can work offline. By pulling down a group of work items, you can work when you don't have Internet access to your TFS server or VSTS.</li>
<li>Excel can be faster when you're editing and making changes to lots of fields or copying in data from another source.</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p><em>In those cases, it makes sense to use Excel.</em></p>
<p>For developers who install Visual Studio, you're good to go. However, often there are non-developers on your team who need to work with lots of work items. For them it's easy to get the Excel features <em>without</em> installing Team Explorer or Visual Studio.</p>
<p>The basic steps are:</p>
<p>Install Office 2007 or later <strong>on Windows</strong> (Sorry no support macOS versions)</p>
<p>Download and install the Team Foundation Server Office? Integration 2017</p>
<p>Connect to our TFS instance or VSTS account</p>
<p>To download and install the <strong>Team Foundation Server Office Integration 2017</strong>, head over to the Visual Studio Downloads page and scroll down to the section labeled <strong>Team Foundation Server 2017 Update 2</strong>. You'll find both a <em>Web Installer</em> and an <em>ISO</em> download.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.brianrandell.com/content/images/2017/08/DownloadOfficeIntegration.png" /></p>
<p>The Web Installer is great if you have good Internet where as the ISO file is great when you have multiple machines or bandwidth is at a premium and you only want to pay the download cost once.</p>
<p>Once you've got enough of the installer downloaded or you've mounted the ISO, run it and you'll get a simple install screen. You'll need to have local Administrator rights to install. Click <strong>Install</strong>, accept the UAC prompt and it will take a few moments depending on the speed of your computer and whetehr or not you downloaded the whole package.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.brianrandell.com/content/images/2017/08/OfficeIntegrationSplash.png" /></p>
<p>Once you've installed the package, start Excel, and you should see a <strong>Team</strong> tab on the Ribbon.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.brianrandell.com/content/images/2017/08/TeamTabExcel2016.png" /></p>
<p>On the Team tab, choose the <strong>New List</strong> command and the <strong>Connect to Team Foundation Server</strong> dialog will open. Use it to connect to your Team Project.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.brianrandell.com/content/images/2017/08/ConnecToTfsDialog.png" /></p>
<p>Once you're connected, you will see the <strong>New List</strong> dialog, where you can choose an existing <em>Work Item Query</em> or create a new <em>Input List</em>.</p>

<h1>VSTS Personal access tokens with Git and Visual Studio 2017</h1>
<blockquote><p>Failed to fetch from the remote repository. See the Output window for more details.</p></blockquote>
<h3>Upgrade Visual Studio from 15.3.3 to 15.3.4 might fix the VSTS authentication issue</h3>
<p>I performed few steps following the topic and hoping to fix the Git for Windows issue, but with no success. There are the steps I performed, I upgraded 15.3.5 then reinstalled the git for windows client and removed the local appdata related to VS and did</p>
<blockquote><p>1.Close all instances of VS <br />2.Delete %localappdata%.IdentityService <br />3.Restart VS<br /></p></blockquote>
<p>No success at the end of the exercise. So I decided to go with workaround approach to use the VSTS Personal access tokens since fetching.</p>
<h2>Register Visual Studio Team Services Personal access token</h2>
<p>Login to Visual Studio Team Services Project and go to your very top right of the browser where VSTS Account Setting are then select security settings.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.velingeorgiev.com/media/images/vsts-goto-security.jpg" /></p>
<p>Go to Security -> Personal Access Tokens -> Add</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.velingeorgiev.com/media/images/vsts-generate-personal-access-token.jpg" /></p>
<p>Add name and select scopes and expiry period.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://blog.velingeorgiev.com/media/images/vsts-personal-access-token-scopes.jpg" /></p>
<p>Once created, make sure you copy the token now. You cannot get the value ever again.</p>
<h2>VSTS project git pull or clone with Personal access token</h2>
<p>Now we have to open the command prompt and open do `git pull` or `git clone` from the cmd so we get the basic authentication login from git for windows. Note: If you are prompted with windows credentials popup just close it and new command line will appear for name and password.</p>
<h2>Store VSTS Git Personal access token to the Windows credentials manager</h2>
<p>Do not close the cmd window yet, but instead store your credentials in the Windows Credentials Manager by executing the command bellow:</p>
<p>So next time Git for Windows will use these credentials to authenticate and they are securely stored to the Windows Credentials Manager. If you are using OS different than windows there is the Stackoverflow topic on how to cache or store git credentials </p>
<h2>Use Visual Studio 2017 with the Git for Windows and the VSTS Personal access token</h2>
<p>Now since we already stored the credentials, the Visual Studio 2017 Team Explorer (Git client) should pick them up by default and you should be able to use the client without any additional efforts. This is valid in case when you have only one version for the Git client or you use the Command line (CMD) with the same Git version used with the Visual Studio 2017 Team Explorer.</p>

<h1> CI/CD pipeline notes </h1>
<h3>Jenkins vs Azure DevOps (formerly known as VSTS)</h3>
<p>Jenkins is probably the number #1 Continuous Integration (and Continuous Delivery) tool for Java developers. It is very flexible and has a lot of supported plugins. There are more than 3000 plugins, so plenty to choose. This flexibility however also comes with a price. If you want to use Jenkins in a serious pipeline, you need a scripted workflow, fully integrated with other tools, secure from begin to end, etc. This is doable, but it is frustrating to implement and it certainly costs a lot of time.</p>
<p>For example, a lot of plugins depend on other plugins and often these need to be very specific versions. This results in a "<i>plugin dependency hell</i>". Also the use of some plugins is not always very straightforward. This certainly applies if you want to use them in a scripted pipeline. The examples on the Internet are not always clear and some descriptions assume that you know the ins- and outs of Jenkins. In addition, not all plugins support a multibranch pipeline, which basically makes them useless in modern CI/CD. <br />Statistics and metrics are non-existing in Jenkins, so if you are into these things you need a couple of plugins and Grafana to visualize, but you have to set this up from scratch.</p>
<p>Lately I have been working with Azure DevOps, formerly know as VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services) and although I am a bit biased when it concerns Jenkins (I do love it, really) and the combination of Microsoft and Java has not always been a good marriage, Azure DevOps grows on you. And Azure DevOps can be used for Java development. It supports Maven and Gradle tasks and the agents are able to run on Windows (of course), Mac and Linux. It has a lot of build-in tasks, both from Microsoft itself, but also downloadable tasks from the Azure DevOps marketplace. And if a task is not available you are able to create it yourself (using typescript).</p>
<p>I managed to set up a small pipeline in a day. This included a Maven build, SonarQube and Fortify scans and a deployment to PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry). Some Azure DevOps task are very powerful. I needed something to replace secure credentials in a manifest.yml file. No problem. I added a Tokenizer task from the Marketplace, entered the secure credentials as variables and that was it. I've done this in Jenkins before, but that took me way more time.</p>
<p>Does this mean that I abandon Jenkins? No, certainly not. Azure DevOps is not a silver bullet and some things are not very well supported or need to be improved. A small comparison:</p>

<h1>Azure devops custom conditions</h1>
<p><em>I've been working with Azure DevOps quite a lot recently (having used its predecessors for many years) and I'm constantly amazed by features I never knew existed or which I vaguely knew existed but hadn't fully appreciated. In this blog post series I'm attempting to shine a light on some of these hidden gems for the benefit of others. The full list of posts is here and if you have any suggestions for other posts please leave a comment!</em></p>
<p>Imagine this scenario: you have a code branch on which you want to run an all-singing, all-dancing build packed full of tasks, and another branch where you only want to run a subset of those tasks. Cloning the build and stripping out unwanted tasks to create a second build is the answer, right? Not necessarily! It turns out that most tasks can be set to run conditionally, according to criteria that you specify.</p>
<p>To configure this feature (I'm illustrating using visual tasks but there is a YAML equivalent) open the task and head over to <strong>Control Options</strong>. For <strong>Run this task</strong> select <strong>Custom conditions</strong> and then enter your conditions in <strong>Custom condition:</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/pleasereleaseme.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/azure-devops-custom-task-conditions.png" /></p>
<p>In the build task example above the task will only run if the build is succeeding and the build is running against the master branch. For any other branches it will be skipped.</p>
<p>To understand the full capabilities of this fantastic feature you should take a look at the Conditions overview page and then the Expressions page which has a full guide to the conditions syntax. I'll blog soon about a specific scenario where this feature is just exactly what is needed to avoid creating a second build and the potential maintenance issue that causes.</p>

Эдуард Кабринский - Serverless devops - Eduard Kabrinskiy


<h1>Serverless devops</h1>
<p>[youtube]</p>
Serverless devops <a href="http://remmont.com">National news stories</a> Serverless devops
<h1>DevOps Use Cases With Serverless Variables</h1>
<p>To make the most of this tutorial, sign up for Serverless Framework?s dashboard account for free: <br />https://app.serverless.com</p>
<p>The Serverless Framework has a powerful built-in variable system that helps secure your sensitive data and can be used to keep even the most complex configuration simple and manageable. We have pretty comprehensive coverage of all of the features of the variable system in our documentation, but when combined together in creative ways these features enable some extremely powerful workflows and real world use cases.</p>
<p>In this article we?ll explore some ideas on how you can use these features to better automate your serverless operations.</p>
<h1>Dynamic Configuration</h1>
<p>You can use the variable system to dynamically generate configuration data for your config files with the help of JS scripts, which is normally not supported by YAML/JSON. Some examples include generating random numbers, dates, doing mathematical computation, or fetching remote data. Let?s look at two of these examples..</p>
<h3>Generating Random ID</h3>
<p>Let?s say you want to create a bucket with a unique id attached to the name. It wouldn?t be possible to generate that random id inside of serverless.yml without the magic of programming. You can utilize the variable system for this use case like this:</p>
<h3>Fetching Remote Data</h3>
<p>You can go even further with JS scripts by working with promises and async operations, which is supported out of the box by the Framework. That means you can fetch data needed for your configuration from any remote source you want.</p>
<p>For example, if you need to use your Github first name as the function name, you can fetch that data from the Github API using a vars.js file like this:</p>
<p>Then in serverless.yml you can do something like this:</p>
<p>The use cases of this feature are limitless! You can fetch global config from DynamoDB, get sensitive data from KMS, or interact with your own API. Whatever is needed by your application.</p>
<h2>Predeployment Processing</h2>
<p>A super creative usage of the variable system is to use it without having any actual variables at all! One use case of that is doing some pre-deployment processing as a build script, maybe to prepare or build certain AWS resources that your service depends on or make some changes to your config files. This works out of the box because processing variables happens at the beginning on Serverless initialization. You?ll just need to write your script and reference it wherever needed, most likely in the custom property of your serverless.yml .</p>
<p>Let?s take a look at an example. Say you want to control which AWS account to use based on certain logical conditions. You can make use of the variable system to setup the correct value for AWS_PROFILE environment variable for you before deployment. All you have to do is just reference a JS variables file that contain that logic. So in serverless.yml</p>
<p>Then in vars.js, you can write your logic:</p>
<p>This way, vars.js could determine which AWS_Profile to use.</p>
<h2>Organizing Your Serverless Configuration</h2>
<p>If you?ve been using Serverless in production for a while now, most likely you?ve realized how complex your serverless.yml can become. Many of the configuration options could actually be reused, not only within your services, but throughout all your services.</p>
<p>As the framework matured, we started to notice patterns in how users are organizing their config file with the help of the variable system. Here are some common structures:</p>
<h3>Custom Resources Files</h3>
<p>Real world serverless applications require the use of many AWS resources that you?ll need to set up in the resources section of serverless.yml . Those resources themselves have many configurations on their own and they will most likely reference other variables. To keep serverless.yml from getting bloated, many users keep all their AWS resources in a single resources.json file, and reference that file in serverless.yml like this:</p>
<p>You can also have an outputs.json file and reference it the same way:</p>
<p>Then, inside of your resources.json & outputs.json, you can still reference other variables as required by your resources.</p>
<h3>Function Config Files</h3>
<p>Some users decide to follow a monolithic architecture when working the Serverless Framework. That means they have a single service, containing all their functions, for their entire project. As the number of functions grows, it become very difficult to manage configuration. Variables allow you to keep each function config in a separate file, for example sitting next to the handler in the service directory structure. Here is an example of what a serverless.yml might look like in this case:</p>
<p>And the directory structure would look something like this</p>
<h3>Central Variables File</h3>
<p>If you make extensive use of the variable system, and define a lot of variables for your project, you can keep them all in a single vars.json, vars.yml or vars.js file. Keeping them in a JS file is the most powerful option because it ensures that you can use logic to dynamically manipulate your exported variable values before they?re populated in serverless.yml.</p>
<p>So you?d have a vars.js file that looks something like this:</p>
<p>And then reference this file in serverless.yml like this:</p>
<p>This way, if you want to make changes to your variables, you?ll only have to do it once in this central vars.js file.</p>
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
<p>We just touched the surface on what the variable system could do for your application. There are really no limits with what you can do thanks to the support for JS scripts. We hope this article gave you some inspiration on how to use the variable system in even more creative ways as needed by your application.</p>

<h1>Dynatrace Extends APM Reach Into Business Analytics</h1>

<p>A growing number of providers of tools widely employed by DevOps teams that are extending their reach into business analytics has been joined by Dynatrace. The provider of a namesake application performance management (APM) platform unveiled a set of business analytics applications aimed at application owners who need to understand how changes to the application experience their organization is providing ultimately impacts the business.</p>
<ul>

Related Topics apmapplication performance managementbusiness analyticsbusiness intelligencecloudbeesDynatracegitlabuser experience
</ul>
<p>Ajay Gandhi, vice president of product marketing for Dynatrace, said Digital Business Analytics applications from Dynatrace extends the single-agent architecture Dynatrace created for its Software Intelligence Platform to make it easy to employ an APM service delivered via the cloud into the realm of business analytics.</p>
<p>The difference between the applications being made available by Dynatrace and traditional business intelligence (BI) applications is the agent software Dynatrace developed enables application owners to track all events in real-time, said Gandhi.</p>
<p>As organizations launch digital transformation initiatives, Gandhi said many discover they lack visibility into the actual end user experience. The suite of Digital Business Analytics applications provides access to a set of applications that enables application owners to track transactions as well as metrics such as conversions and revenue performance by product, customer segment and geography.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://3ovyg21t17l11k49tk1oma21-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Dynatrace-Conversion-Optimization-Analysis-1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Gandhi noted organizations don?t necessarily need to have embraced best DevOps practices to derive value from the company?s analytics applications. However, those that have embraced DevOps are likely to appreciate the value of these applications because they view themselves as a software company that happens to build a specific product or digital service.</p>
<p>It?s not clear to what degree application owners may be willing to give up relying on spreadsheets and legacy BI applications they have relied on for decades to manage the business. However, a case can be made for aligning the business to IT more closely by tracking the events in real-time as they occur across application environments and the IT infrastructure on which they depend. In fact, the one thing that has always differentiated Dynatrace is its ability to leverage an artificial intelligence (AI) engine, dubbed Davis, to surface events and deliver actionable intelligence by identifying the root cause of an issue, said Gandhi.</p>
<p>Other DevOps vendors that are venturing into the realm of business analytics include CloudBees and GitLab. As these vendors increasingly realize that business processes now frequently revolve around DevOps processes, they all see an opportunity to extend their franchises by providing analytics applications that are aimed well beyond their existing base of IT users. Less clear right now is which set of tools within a DevOps toolchain will serve as the primary source of data for those analytics applications. However, Gandhi did note that unlike continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) platforms, APM services can provide real-time visibility into the actual digital experiences that change as various events impact production applications.</p>
<p>Regardless of the ultimate source of data, however, the one thing that is certain is the level of insight business users can have into application development and deployment processes trends is, for better or worse, about to increase substantially.</p>

<h3>Continuous integration</h3>
<p>Developers practicing continuous integration merge their changes back to the main branch as often as possible. The developer's changes are validated by creating a build and running automated tests against the build. By doing so, you avoid integration challenges that can happen when waiting for release day to merge changes into the release branch.</p>
<p>Continuous integration puts a great emphasis on testing automation to check that the application is not broken whenever new commits are integrated into the main branch.</p>
<h3>Continuous delivery</h3>
<p>Continuous delivery is an extension of continuous integration since it automatically deploys all code changes to a testing and/or production environment after the build stage.</p>
<p>This means that on top of automated testing, you have an automated release process and you can deploy your application any time by clicking a button.</p>
<p>In theory, with continuous delivery, you can decide to release daily, weekly, fortnightly, or whatever suits your business requirements. However, if you truly want to get the benefits of continuous delivery, you should deploy to production as early as possible to make sure that you release small batches that are easy to troubleshoot in case of a problem.</p>
<h3>Continuous deployment</h3>
<p>Continuous deployment goes one step further than continuous delivery. With this practice, every change that passes all stages of your production pipeline is released to your customers. There's no human intervention, and only a failed test will prevent a new change to be deployed to production.</p>
<p>Continuous deployment is an excellent way to accelerate the feedback loop with your customers and take pressure off the team as there isn't a <em>Release Day</em> anymore. Developers can focus on building software, and they see their work go live minutes after they've finished working on it.</p>
<h3>How the practices relate to each other</h3>
<p>To put it simply continuous integration is part of both continuous delivery and continuous deployment. And continuous deployment is like continuous delivery, except that releases happen automatically.</p>

<h3>What are the benefits of each practice?</h3>
<p>We've explained the difference between continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployments but we haven't yet looked into the reasons why you would adopt them. There's an obvious cost to implementing each practice, but it's largely outweighed by their benefits.</p>

CI is a practice that makes preparing for a release easier. CD may refer to &amp;quot;delivery&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;deployment,&amp;quot; which are similar but not quite the same.

<h1>5 Easy Step DevOps Guide For Beginners</h1>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://www.vminstall.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/devops-guide.jpg" /></p>
<h2>Have your legacy IT processes finally hit a wall?</h2>
<p>Let?s see if these 3 examples ring any bells:</p>
<p><ul>
<li>Months to deploy virtual servers (tickets are being thrown over the fence)</li>
<li>Failure after failure releasing code (Dev and QA environments don?t match Prod)</li>
<li>And worst of all is how the majority of your teams time is spent firefighting</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>If you answered yes to all 3 examples you probably need a DevOps transformation to improve your IT service delivery.</p>
<p>Still unsure? Let?s keep going anyways?</p>
<h3>5 Step DevOps Transition Plan for Beginners</h3>
<p>This DevOps For Beginners guide is concise with only five steps. Each of the five steps builds upon the next. There are no time limits involved because it could take weeks, or months, for the transition to begin. Why? Because each pre-existing culture will adapt differently. In my experience, it takes at least 90 days for the first signs of the shift to show up. Time is wasting, so let?s get started?</p>
<h3>Step #1 ? Start with a Culture Shift</h3>
<p>Many IT cultures are cold. And many have been following the same practices that were put into place in the 90s. These cultures are normally referred to as ?Legacy IT? and though they were very effective decades ago, today they lack the agility and flexibility to adjust to fast pace business changes.</p>
<p>The first step towards DevOps begins with slow-paced group meetings focused on educating departments on the value of DevOps and to discuss that current shortcoming of legacy IT.</p>
<p>The goal here is to build advocates and enlist facilitators who will ban together. During this time it will be OK to share objections to the changes being offered.</p>
<p>After multiple group meetings, lunch and learns, and videos about DevOps; the culture will begin to shift and more people will share the direction. Also during this time, it will be very important to get managers and leaders moving in the same direction. This time of transition is critical and can take 90 ? 180 days.</p>
<h3>Step #2 ? Create Feedback Loops</h3>
<p>As will be found with most legacy IT departments, they are very defensive. Focused more on defending their technologies and practices rather than objectively looking inward to see if anything can be done to improve.</p>
<p>Normally there will be a history of failures and problems from the past that still cause pain and a lack of trust. You must be willing to move past all this in order to bring about new alliances and confidence.</p>
<p>Each group or department should begin meeting with their customers (both external and internal) and listening to their pains and grievances. Though it is not easy, it will reveal the areas where healing and mending must happen.</p>
<p>Feedback loops can begin immediately and a backlog of problems should be created that can be worked on to deal with any social or technical debt that surfaces.</p>
<p>Furthermore, any corrections should be shared with the customer for their feedback (never assume anything is fixed without hearing back from the customer). And once there is closure with a problem, it should be celebrated by the team providing the service.</p>
<p>No loop should ever be left open. Step 2 will continue as long as it takes and will eventually become a fundamental part of maintaining the DevOps culture. This can begin in the first 90 days and the key here is to <em><strong>stop being defensive.</strong></em></p>
<p>The goal is to learn to listen openly to customer feedback for opportunities to improve.</p>
<h3>Step #3 ? Merge Forces and Get Things Done</h3>
<p>Another problem with legacy IT is ?silos?. What are silos? They are technology boundaries that cannot be crossed by other technology teams. Networking, server, storage, and data center teams are silos.</p>
<p>Most of the time each team is working and building their own processes without engagement or consideration of each other, and sometimes even intentionally making things so difficult that building out a simple virtual server can take many weeks because of the rigor of ridiculous requirements.</p>
<blockquote><p>Note: All at a cost to the business and developers who sit waiting on IT to get it done for them.</p></blockquote>
<p>If anything, this is one of the most important value-adds there is for a DevOps transformation. And yet, unfortunately, there may be some people who will need to be forced to tear down walls and silos before it?s over.</p>
<p>Some groups call this convergence, whereas DevOps calls it teamwork. The key here is getting technology teams working together to work down technical debt (backlog from step #2).</p>
<blockquote><p>Tip: A highly effective way to make immediate improvement is to use embedded resources. For example, dedicating a person to sit with the development team (or customer) and work directly with them. This helps build closer relationships while at the same time exposing them to the pain caused by legacy practices.</p></blockquote>

<h1>SAFe using Azure DevOps</h1>
<h3>November 28, 2018</h3>
<p style="clear: both"><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/15783/1568024581-scaled-agile-framework.png" /></p>
<p>As organizations more and more apply an agile way of working many ask themselves how they can get agility to work at scale. There are several frameworks for scaling agile on the market like Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) and Nexus, but many organizations turn to Scaled Agile Framework? (SAFe?). There is no process that supports SAFe out of the box in Azure DevOps so we need to work with the ones we have got unless we want to create a custom process of our own.</p>
<p>Let us take a look at SAFe first in Figure1. This is the largest SAFe configuration called the Full SAFe.</p>
<p style="clear: both"> <img style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;" src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/15783/1572523438-full-safe-implementation-1024x689.png" />Fig 1. Full SAFe implementation.</p>
<p>We can find four levels; Portfolio, Large Solution, Program and Essential SAFe that cover most organizational needs we can have. Microsoft has four Work Item Types (WIT) that we can use to support this setup; Epics, Features, User Stories and Tasks. There is a hierarchy to these WITs as the next figure show. This origins from the Agile Process but works the same for Scrum and CMMI. So if you?re interested in using SAFe, you can configure projects created with the Scrum, Agile, or CMMI processes to track SAFe criteria.</p>
<p>In Figure 2 we see at what SAFe level these would be used. Epics will support the Portfolio Level, Features the Program Level and User Stories and Tasks support the Team level. In order to further support SAFe in Azure DevOps we need to work with our areas and iteration from Project Settings. In the following figure we can see one way of implementing SAFe in the iterations view.</p>
<p>Figure 3 shows the overall Portfolio level (SAFe Demo Azure DevOps) with one Value Stream present (Value Stream 01). In the value stream we can find our Agile Release Trains (the Program Level), in this case ART 01 and ART 02. Below the release trains we have configured three Program Increments (PI 01, 02 and 03) and below them we have configured the sprints each PI will have.</p>
<p>Because epics can span several release trains, the Portfolio team probably wouldn?t be associated with any specific iterations. Program teams on the other hand will track their Features, which ship with a PI. The Feature teams work in Sprints to complete the stories chosen for the PI. Each team in their turn chooses which iterations will support them to track their deliverables.</p>
<p>Since we are free to configure the iterations in any way we want this is only one way we can do this. You need to discuss what your setup would look like before implementing it in Azure DevOps. One way to simplify the iteration setup would be to use tags for Value Stream instead it all depends on your needs. With tags that we add to work items, we can:</p>
<p><ul>
<li>Filter any backlog or Kanban board</li>
<li>Create queries based on tags, and filter query results by tags</li>
<li>Create progress and trend charts or reports based on tags</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Once we are satisfied with the initial iteration setup, we can start selecting which areas our different teams should have. We can always modify our iterations as time goes on by for instance adding new PIs. Using areas on the other hand, we determine which items the teams will see on their backlogs and boards.</p>
<p style="clear: both"> <img style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;" src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/15783/1572523594-areas-for-safe-using-azure-devops.png" />Figure 4. Configurating areas for SAFe in Azure DevOps.</p>
<p>As we can see in Figure 4 our Portfolio team will track Epics in each Value Stream and that way keep track on what efforts we have on a higher level.</p>
<p>The agile release trains will be tracked by the ART Management teams (ART 01 MGMT). These teams can also follow everything that happens in each PI on both ART, PI and Team level. In Figure 5 we can see that the ART team can track features on their Kanban board.</p>
<p style="clear: both"> <img style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;" src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/15783/1572523619-individual-boards.png" />Figure 5. Working with areas enables different teams to see their individual boards. In this case the ART 01 MGMT team can follow progress on their Kanban board.</p>
<p>The individual teams (Team 01 and Team 02) will work with things on their own backlogs (subsets of the program backlog) so they can focus on their work in the first place. As seen in the following figure (6) Team 01 can follow their PBIs on their separate Kanban board.</p>
<p style="clear: both"> <img style="float: left; margin: 0 10px 5px 0;" src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/15783/1572523662-kanban-board-for-team-01-1024x220.png" />Figure 6. The Kanban board for Team 01.</p>
<p>This has been one way of using Azure DevOps to support SAFe. Keep in mind that the flexibility of Azure DevOps and Azure DevOps Server makes it possible for us to customize our own implementation.</p>
<p><em>Do you want to start implementing agile at scale? Leave a comment below or send us a message at info@solidify.se!</em> </p>
<p><em>Solidify has developed an one of a kind extension for Azure DevOps that helps organizations to implement SAFe in Azure DevOps The Extension features a automatic setup of Agile Release Trains(ART'S) Program Increments and Sprints.
