I would like to make a board for my team in Azure DevOps that shows only tasks and bugs and allows me to move the cards representing each task or bug between columns for new, active, or closed.
There are two boards that almost do what I want:
- The sprint taskboard. But this groups tasks and bugs horizontally by their parent user story. I do not want that grouping
- The 'board'. But the cards represent bugs and user stories, not tasks.
Other teams in my organisation get around this by using User Stories as tasks. None of their User Stories read 'as an X I want Y so that I can Z' they instead say things like 'optimize runtime of forest layer' which is a task, not a user story. Making that change (eschewing tasks and using user stories to represent tasks instead) enables them to use the board exactly as I would like to, but I am reluctant to get rid of real User Stories as they serve (I think) a useful purpose in reminding us why we are doing the child tasks related to each user story.
How can I configure a board in ADO DevOps that behaves like the current board but at the task instead of the user story level?
