Integrating with DevOps Boards and other task trackers
I have been working with Power Automate to add and update DevOps work items with To Do so I can have visibility to the DevOps items in To Do. This allows me to work with both teams that are using DevOps as well a those using Planner for a unified view of my task assignments.
I am wondering how others are tracking task sources. I am currently using the list feature so I have one list for DevOps task and then put a prefix of "WorkID: 123456 -" before the work ID title. This works OK, for now, expect that I will need to do this with each new source if I want to integrate with other teams' task lists in the future.
Below is an example of what a task looks like. When a task is created it copies the title and description from DevOps into the To Do and adds the link to the work item on the web. I will do my primary note-taking in DevOps since that is the tool that the team is using for all task management.
So far I can sync description changes and status between the two so I can make those changes in either interface. My main goal is for me to be able to have a 360 view of the work I have assigned across multiple teams.
Any better suggestions?
With the upcoming changes to Planner is To Do going to remain a viable product? If so how can one make a feature request? I'm OK with building my integrations but really would like to have some fields to store some references to clean up my interface. I would like to share this with others in my organization but it is too fragile right now.
