Azure Devops - work items bulk import-update-publish to Devops using Excel

#cloud #azure #devops

Hi All!

As a azure devops guys and work on scrum or any other methodologies, we have many chances to update our tasks in devops.

There are chances that project manager and/or project lead need to work on consolidated work items for presentation.

We can update our task one by one individually which takes more time and Consider the below scenaio.

  1. Project lead or we need to modify the state of 100 work items.
  2. More than 15 work items title need to be modified.

To achieve the above with minimal effort and time, we have Azure Devops Office Integration feature which will help us to work on excel and update the work items altogether from excel to Devops all at once.

Here before, we used query in Devops and then we would export into CSV. Now with the help of above software, we can work in an excel for updation very easily.

Please look into the below images.

In the first image before installed the software, we have no Team option. After installation we could see it at the end of menu section.

In the second image, after clicked the New List

  1. we need to connect to our devops organization/account
  2. Select the project from where you need the task(s)

In the third image, I modified the titles of 2 work items and then publish them. After publish and refresh the devops page, published changes affected in Devops

We can change the state of multiple tasks all at a time and publish.

In this post, I used only 2 work items for an illustration but it helps us for lot of work items altogether all at once.

To Download the software, Click the below link
Azure DevOps Office® Integration 2019

Hope this post will be helpful. Play around it. Cheers!

Glimpse - Azure function migration from .net6 in-process to .net8 isolated Microsoft/Azure periodically announces the end of support for some services and ask us to migrate to a new version/release when they come up with a robust solution than the deprecated. In this post we are going to see a glimpse/UI configuration change of azure function 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 .𝗻𝗲𝘁𝟲 𝗶𝗻-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼 .𝗻𝗲𝘁𝟴 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. Here, I'm not going to deep dive about the migration whereas going to see the illustration of changing .net version from UI. For learning, GUI is the best place to start.

Shocking and Afraid! After some point of ...

Azure Devops - How to use classic pipeline variable group in YAML pipeline Hi All! When we need to use a group of variables in a pipeline, we can go for variable group instead of variables. The main usage of variable group is that can be used it across multiple pipelines in the same project. For example, I have a below variable group in my azure Devops. By default variable groups can be used across classic pipelines without any explicit permission granted but that variable group could not be used by YAML pipelines typically. So, How how can I use that variable group in my YAML pipeline? We can achieve it through "Pipeline permissions" option on top of variable group page. In the below image, I grant permission to my dotnet6app YAML pipeline to use variable group We can revoke if we don't need a YAML pipeline should not access variable group as below. Now, I want my all pipelines should use variable group. I don't want manual intervent...
