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

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

Consider you tried more than 100 commands in current powershell session and may require to try the same large command.

Azure Public IP(s) are zone redundant free of cost natively - Generally Available Availability zone gives high availability to an application as well as information by forestalling the physical datacenter disappointments by involving replication of the asset in extra datacenter. Azure typically has 3 zones per region (and not all regions support zone). Thus, while setting up the environment we really want to pick the right region based on our usecase. Public IP helps to access a resource or an application publicly. Azure offers 2 types of SKU for public IP as below Basic Standard Only Standard SKU gives zone facility. Basic SKU is always non-zonal and this SKU also will be retired 09/2025. Standard public IP can be fell into any of the below category No Zone / Non-Zonal - No availability zone at all Zonal - Our services can be replicated in any one of selected zones from three zones.
