You can start using Azure Boards without configuring or customizing anything. However, as your organization grows, you'll find it beneficial to add teams, define area paths and iteration paths. If you are tasked with administrating a project for several teams, we recommend you review the following articles.

Process and project customization

You customize your work tracking experience to support your business and reporting needs. The most common customizations include adding a custom field, modifying a work item form, or adding a custom work item type. Process customization tasks must be performed by an administrator who has the necessary organization-level permissions, as they affect all users and teams within a project.

You customize Azure Boards work tracking using the On-premises XML process model. This model requires editing XML definition files and uploading the modified files to the server.

On-premises XML process model

With the On-premises XML process model, you modify the XML definition of work item types, the process configuration, categories, and more. You can also update the attributes of fields or exercise one of the witadmin commands.
