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.An Oscars To Do List
This is kind of silly, but my wife and I watch as many Oscar movies as possible. To make tracking it easier a few years ago I created a Power Automate Flow that would populate a To Do list for me to make tracking it easier. The Flow reads from an Excel workbook that I store in my OneDrive for Business and that has a table with the list of nominations. It then reads each one (I sort it in reverse order of nominations before I run it), and then creates a To Do entry for each one with the Due Date of the Oscars and with the Notes filled with the nominations it received. The Title is the Movie name and the number of nominations. I hope this provides you with a little fun to watch more Oscar movies.
