Widgets display information and charts on dashboards. Many widgets are configurable or are scoped to a team or to the logged in user account. Many display information available from one or more data stores or charts maintained within the system. You add a widget to a dashboard or copy a widget from one dashboard to another. For more information, see Add a widget to a dashboard.
For example, you can add the Build History widget from the dashboard's Add Widget dialog.

In addition to the widgets listed here, you can add a work item query chart to your dashboard. For more information, see Track progress with status and trend query-based charts.
Assigned to Me
Burndown
Displays a burndown chart that you can configure to span one or more teams, work item types, and time period. With it, you can create a release burndown, sprint burndown, or any burndown that spans teams and sprints.
For more information, see Configure a burndown or burnup widget.
Burnup
Displays a burnup chart that you can configure to span one or more teams, work item types, and time period. With it, you can create a release burnup, sprint burnup, or any burnup that spans teams and sprints.
For more information, see Configure a burndown or burnup widget.
Chart for Work Items
Displays a progress or trend chart that builds off a shared work item query.
From the configuration dialog, select a shared query and specify the chart type and values.
Cumulative Flow Diagram
Displays the cumulative flow of backlog items based on the time frame, team, backlog level, and swimlane that you select. To see the count of items for a particular board column, hover over each color in the chart.
From the configuration dialog, specify the team, backlog level, and other parameters you want.
Cycle Time
Displays the cycle time of work items closed in a specified timeframe for a single team and backlog level. The cycle time of a work item is defined as the time taken to close a work item after work on it begins. Each marker on the chart corresponds to one or more work items with a particular cycle time. The lower the cycle time, the faster work is progressing through your development pipeline.
For more information, see Lead time and cycle time control charts.
Lead Time
Displays the lead time of work items closed in a specified timeframe for a single team and backlog level. The lead time of a work item is defined as the time taken to close a work item after it was created. Each marker on the chart corresponds to one or more work items with a particular lead time. The lower the lead time, the faster work is being delivered to the customer.
For more information, see Lead time and cycle time control charts.
New Work Item
Enables you to add work items from the dashboard. Work items that you add using this widget are automatically scoped to the team's default Area Path. The Iteration Path assigned matches the last Iteration Path assigned to a work item by the currently signed in user.
To change team defaults, see About teams and Agile tools.
Query Results
A configurable tile that lists the results of a shared query. From the configuration dialog, select either a team favorite or shared query.
To create a shared query, see Use the query editor to list and manage queries.
Query Tile
A configurable tile to display the summary of shared query results. From the configuration dialog, select either a team favorite or shared query. You can optionally specify rules to change the query tile color based on the number of work items returned by the query.
To create a shared query, see Use the query editor to list and manage queries.
Sprint Burndown (Analytics)
A team's burndown chart for a sprint to the dashboard. This widget is based on Analytics data. You have several configuration options for this widget, including selecting a team, iteration, and time period.
Teams use the burndown chart to mitigate risk and check for scope creep throughout the sprint cycle.
Sprint Burndown (Legacy)
The team's burndown chart for the current sprint to the dashboard. This chart always displays data for the current sprint.
Teams use the burndown chart to mitigate risk and check for scope creep throughout the sprint cycle.

See Set capacity.
Sprint Overview
A configurable overview of sprint progress. You can choose between a count of story points or number of work items. Selecting the Show non-working days checkbox indicates to count all remaining days in the sprint, regardless of the days the team has selected as days off.
Teams plan their sprints by defining sprints and assigning backlog items to an iteration.
Velocity
The Velocity widget tracks a team's capacity to deliver work sprint after sprint. You configure the widget by selecting a team, a work item type, an aggregation field, and the number of sprints. The widget takes advantage of Analytics data. You can track the velocity for a single team, not multiple teams.
For additional guidance, see Velocity.

Azure Pipelines widgets
Add build and release pipeline widgets to track the health of your builds and releases.
Build History
Displays a histogram of all builds run for the configured build pipeline. From the configuration dialog, select the build you want to monitor. Hover over a bar to learn how long the build took to complete. Select the bar to open the summary for that specific build. Bar color indicates: green-completed, red-failed, and yellow-completed without tests.
Deployment status
Configurable widget that shows a combined view of the deployment status and test pass rate across multiple environments for a recent set of builds. Configure the widget by specifying a build pipeline, branch, and linked release pipelines. To view the test summary across multiple environments in a release, the widget provides a matrix view of each environment and corresponding test pass rate.
You can choose any cell to see a more detailed view for the selected environment.
Release Pipeline Overview
Configurable widget that you can use to view and track the status of a release pipeline. This widget shows the release as a series of environments, with the name of the release and the date or time it was started.
The color of the heading and the icon in each environment indicate the current status of the release, which are the same as are used on the Releases page. Select a release pipeline in the left column to filter the list to just releases for that pipeline.
Requirements quality
Configurable widget that you can use to track quality continuously from a build or release pipeline. The widget shows the mapping between a requirement and latest test results executed against that requirement. It provides insights into requirements traceability. For example, requirements not meeting the quality, requirements not tested, and so on.
For more information, see Requirements traceability
Azure Test Plans widgets
Add test tracking widgets to your dashboards to show status, progress, or trends of your testing efforts. In addition to the widgets listed here, you can add test tracking charts to your dashboard. For more information, see Track test status.
Chart for Test Plans
A configurable widget that lets you track the progress of test case authoring or status of test execution for tests in a test plan. Get started by selecting a test plan and a test suite. Then select test case chart for test authoring progress or test results for test execution progress. Finally, select the chart type and the pivots.
For more information, see Track your test results.
Test Results Trend
A configurable tile that displays the trend of test results for the selected build or release pipeline. The widget helps you visualize the test trends over a period of time. The widget surfaces patterns about test failures, test duration, and others.
From the configuration dialog, select the build or release whose test results to monitor. There are multiple chart options to choose from, such as Line, Column, and Stacked Column, based on your preference. Optionally, map the trend of test duration on the existing chart by adding a secondary line chart.
To get deeper insights and higher configurability, see Test Analytics.
The Test Results Trend (Advanced) widget provides near real-time visibility into test data for multiple builds and releases. The widget shows a trend of your test results for selected pipelines. You can use it to track the daily count of test, pass rate, and test duration. Tracking test quality over time and improving test collateral is key to maintaining a healthy DevOps pipeline. The widget supports tracking advanced metrics for one or more build pipelines or release pipelines. The widget also allows filtering of test results by outcome, stacking metrics, and more.
For more information, see Configure the Test Results Trend (Advanced) widget.
