Work management
Azure DevOps integration: work items and Gantt chart aligned
Tasks and Azure DevOps Boards work items stay in sync: the plan sets the dates, the team updates status and assignee.
- Available
- Free, included in every account
What it does
Azure DevOps Boards: work items and plan in sync
The same model as Jira, for teams on Azure DevOps: each task becomes a work item, dependencies become Successor links, and state and assignee come back to the plan.
Where it helps
- The release plan in Planitude, the work items on the team’s boards.
- Organizations with different processes: Agile, Scrum, Basic and CMMI.
- Plan phases become Features or Epics, with the work items beneath them.

Setup
Connect it in three steps
Connect Azure DevOps
Sign in with your Microsoft work account, or paste a personal access token with Work Items (read and write) if your organization does not allow external apps.
Choose organization and project
Planitude detects the process (Agile, Scrum, Basic, CMMI). Choose the work item type and the state mapping, then export the plan, import the work items, or both.
Keep working as usual
Changes travel in both directions; every work item gets an “Open in Planitude” link back to the task.
Requirements
- Plan
- Free. Every integration is included in every Planitude account.
- Who can connect it
- Owner or editor of the Planitude project; viewers see the connection status.
- What you need
- A Microsoft work account with access to the Azure DevOps project, or a personal access token with Work Items (read and write) and Project and Team (read). Instant updates require the Project Administrator role; without it, Planitude checks for changes every 5 minutes.
Good to know
- No automatic deletions in either direction.
- Personal Microsoft accounts cannot use Microsoft sign-in with Azure DevOps: use a personal access token.
- Phases can become Features or Epics, with the work items underneath.
Guides and documentation
Frequently asked questions about Azure DevOps Boards
My organization blocks external apps: can I still use it?
Yes. In that case, or with a personal Microsoft account, you connect with a personal access token instead of Microsoft sign-in. Some companies require administrator consent for Microsoft sign-in.
Which work item types can I use?
Planitude suggests the type defined by the process (User Story in Agile, Product Backlog Item in Scrum, Issue in Basic, Requirement in CMMI), and you can choose any other enabled type, such as Task or Bug.
Do the integrations cost anything?
No. Every integration is included in Planitude, which is free. You only need your own access to the other tool (for example a Jira, Slack or Microsoft 365 account) under its own terms.
How do I disconnect an integration?
From the app's page in the project, with Disconnect, at any time. Nothing is deleted: tasks stay in Planitude, issues and messages stay in the other tool. Connected AI apps are revoked from Profile → API keys.
