I have two Projects in one Organization (like in the attached image below).

I would like to see the items from both Projects in the same Azure DevOps Board (dashboard).

Azure DevOps Boards (dashboards) show just the items from the selected Project.

How can I add items (User Stories) from both Projects to the same Azure DevOps Board?

(There is pretty good documentation on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/?view=azure-devops but I did not find the answer)

@LeoLiu-MSFT I am afraid, there is no proper solution at the moment, Azure Boards is a quite new product, I guess we will have a decent way to solve this issue soonjMiguel LA

How I can add multiple projects on the same Azure DevOps Board?

Just as we know, Azure DevOps Board is associated with an Iteration Path(Agile). An iteration path only exists within the context of a Team Project. So, Azure DevOps Board boards by their current implementation live only within a Team Project.

As a workaround, you can try to use the extension Delivery Plans, with Delivery Plans, you gain tailor-made views across several teams and their development backlogs—stories, features, or epics. You can use these views to drive alignment across teams by overlaying several backlogs onto your delivery schedule:

Check the document Managing project schedules across teams with Delivery Plans for some more details.

BTW, there is a user voice Single Dashboard for Multiple Projects, which is on the roadmap, you can vote and track the feedback from this ticket.

Hope this helps.

You cannot do that. I think you have to use one team project and several teams. Just create separate teams for each project. Azure DevOps will create an area path for each team. Then each team will use their own backlogs. In the default project team you can select "Include sub areas," and then you will see items for all teams (or projects). enter image description here
