Azure Devops - Multi project kanban boards

Question

​Context:

I have an organization with multiple projects. Some projects use a tag to identify Epics and Features in scope where others use a relationship to a Strategic theme to identify the scope.

ASK:

I have been asked to setup two consolidated boards in Azure Devops that can show all Epics and Features. I've tried to use the query feature, but I can only identify Epics and features based on Strategic Theme in the "Tree of work item" query type where Boards are not supported.

Based on your experience is there a workaround to create consolidated boards based on Strategic Themes showing all associated child Epics or Features? Or do I need to use tagging + querying to achieve this?

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

I am afraid you have to use tagging and querying. If you just need to show all the Epics and Features in a board. You can check out Query results widget on the Dashboards under Overview in Devops project UI page.

You can create queries to query all the Epics and features based on Strategic Theme or tags. And display the query result on a widget on the Dashboards.
