Azure devops - How to map existing jira to azure devops boards
Thank you for your quick reply,
Just wanted to clarify the following.
In Jira, once we create a release, we can attach that release to a given work item as a fix version. And thereby, we can go to the release and see all the issues assigned to that particular release.
However, in Azure boards, I do not see any direct way of doing this.
We could create a delivery plan, but that delivery plan cannot be directly assigned to a given work item. But, we can assign sprint (which are under delivery plan) to a work item.
In this case, if we want to see all the issues under release (assuming that release = delivery plan), then we have first find out what are the sprints in each delivery plan and view issues under each of these sprints. Is this correct ?
Appreciate your feedback in this.
You are correct in identifying that Azure DevOps doesn’t have a direct equivalent of Jira’s “Fix Version” for associating work items with a specific release that can then be easily filtered. Instead, the concept of a Release in Azure DevOps relies on Iterations/Sprints and Tags or custom fields to group work items.
You can try the below steps to replicate Jira's "Fix Version" in Azure DevOps
Use Iterations: Treat each release as a unique Iteration Path (e.g., "Release 1.0") and assign it to work items. Then filter by this path to view items by release.
Add a Custom Field: Create a "Release" field in work items to select a version, similar to "Fix Version" in Jira.
Create Queries: Use queries to filter work items by the custom "Release" field or specific Iteration Paths for easy viewing.
This setup provides a straightforward way to track items by release in Azure DevOps.
