Seamless Azure DevOps Integration for Planning Poker

Bring your Azure DevOps work items directly into Kollabe for effortless planning sessions. Import, estimate, and sync your story points automatically—all without leaving your planning poker workflow.

What's New

Direct Work Item Import Connect your Azure DevOps account and import work items instantly. Search using built-in filters or custom WIQL queries to find exactly what you need for your planning session.

Automatic Story Point Syncing Configure your story point field once, and Kollabe automatically updates your Azure DevOps work items with the winning estimates from each planning round. No manual data entry required.

Smart Search and Filtering

  • Project and iteration filters: Narrow down to specific projects, sprints, or work item types

  • Custom WIQL support: Use Work Item Query Language for advanced filtering

  • Real-time results: See your work items instantly as you refine your search

Bidirectional Synchronization Your planning poker estimates flow directly back to Azure DevOps, keeping your backlog and planning tools perfectly aligned with visual sync indicators confirming successful updates.

Why It Matters

Planning poker sessions often involve manually copying work items and then transcribing estimates back to your project management tools. This tedious process breaks flow, introduces errors, and wastes valuable team time.

With native Azure DevOps integration, your team can focus entirely on collaborative estimation. Work items flow seamlessly from backlog to planning session to updated estimates, eliminating double-entry and ensuring your Azure DevOps board reflects real planning outcomes.

Teams using integrated workflows report 40% faster planning sessions and significantly reduced administrative overhead, allowing more time for meaningful discussion and consensus building.

Getting Started

Setting up takes just minutes: connect your Azure DevOps account, map your story point field, and start importing work items. Your estimates sync automatically as you complete each planning round.

Available now for all Planning Poker sessions. Transform your estimation workflow and keep your team in perfect sync.
