Query DevOps for Feature duration
We're using the Feature Timeline to create a high-level planning of Features across Iterations. Some are single-iteration features, but some span multiple Iterations. I want to get the Feature in...
There is a workaround would suggest:
1. Query Child Work Items:
- Pull all child items (User Stories, Tasks) linked to each Feature.
- Extract their Iteration Paths and calculate the earliest and latest.
- You can do this in Excel using Power Query or a custom script.
2. Use Analytics Views:
- If your tenant has Azure DevOps Analytics enabled, you can use Power BI or OData to query child work items and roll up iteration dates.
3. Set Start/Target Dates Manually:
- If you manually set Start Date and Target Date fields on Features, you can query those directly.
- These fields are used by the Feature Timeline extension to span across sprints.
4. Use the Feature Timeline Extension UI:
- Open the Feature Timeline in Azure DevOps.
- Click the info icon on a Feature to see its inferred start/end iterations based on child items.
