Azure DevOps offers a collection of cloud-based tools that enable software teams to manage the complete process of planning, developing, testing, and delivering value through working software.

Within Azure DevOps, Azure Boards provides agile teams with the capabilities they need to plan, monitor, and discuss work throughout the software development lifecycle.

Managing Projects with Azure Boards is a one-day, hands-on course focused on showing agile teams how to configure Azure Boards and use its capabilities effectively in their day-to-day work. To reinforce the concepts covered during the course, participants work together in teams using a shared team project and a common case study.


Prerequisites

Some previous experience in project management and software development, either as a team member or a manager, is recommended.
