DevOps Templates
Hello Is it possible to define templates that includes the complete tree? Epic, Features, Stories. Regards JFM_12
Yes, you may refer on below:
-
Process Customization:
- Navigate to Organization Settings in Azure DevOps
- Go to Process and select the process you want to customize (e.g., Agile, Scrum, CMMI)
- You can add new work item types or modify existing ones to fit your needs
-
Work Item Templates:
- Go to your project in Azure DevOps
- Navigate to Boards > Work Items
- Click on the New Work Item dropdown and select Manage Templates
- Create templates for Epics, Features, and Stories. You can predefine fields, tags, and other details
-
Parent-Child Links:
- When creating a new work item (e.g., a Feature), you can link it to an Epic by using the Add link option and selecting Parent
- Similarly, you can link Stories to Features
-
Azure DevOps Extensions:
- Consider using extensions from the Azure DevOps Marketplace that can help with hierarchical templates and work item management
Hi Kidd_Ip
Thank you very much.
Yes thank you I understand that.
I would like to chose one template and recreate the whole tree.
So that at once Epic, Features and Stories are created from the template
Is that possible?

- Juan,
Yes, it's possible to create an entire Epic, Feature, and Story hierarchy, but not directly through a single template in Azure DevOps.
Here are two ways you can achieve it:
- Azure DevOps REST API: You can use scripts to automate the creation of Epics, Features, and Stories all at once.
- Power Automate: This can be set up to trigger automatic creation of linked items (Epics, Features, Stories) when you create an Epic.Thank you very much.
This could be helpful if the projects have always the same sequence.
So it is done once and just copied.
