Introduction
Azure DevOps can help your team scale their development processes to deliver bigger, more ambitious projects. Let's rejoin the Tailspin Toys team as they tackle common problems that organizations face as they grow. Together, we'll discover what it takes to manage work schedules across multiple teams effectively.
You met the team at Tailspin Toys earlier in this learning path. In the previous module, you watched as they began to manage their work schedule through Azure Boards. Soon, word of their early success began to spread, and now other teams are exploring how they can enjoy the same benefits.
As more teams adopt Azure Boards, the organization begins to see the network effects of having their planning consolidate around a consistent process. Problems that were once written off as a cost of doing business now have achievable solutions. Let's watch the team as they lead their organization in its evolution.
After completing this module, you'll be able to:
- Describe how delivery plans enable multiple teams to plan, schedule, and coordinate their work.
- Create a delivery plan and adjust a team's sprint workload to optimize delivery efficiency.
- View dependencies within work items within a team or across teams.
- Resolve dependencies that have issues.
Prerequisites
The modules in this learning path form a progression. We recommend that you start at the beginning of the Get started with Azure DevOps learning path before you work on this module.
If you'd rather do only this module, go through Introduction to Azure DevOps first to set up your Azure DevOps organization.
