How to connect Dev Ops with MS Planner

Azure DevOps work items and Microsoft Planner plans can both be surfaced and used inside Microsoft Teams, but the provided context does not describe a direct, out-of-the-box integration between Azure DevOps task tracking and Planner, nor a specific Power Automate template or step-by-step guide that synchronizes tasks between them.

From the context, there are two relevant patterns:

1. Connect project management tools (including Azure DevOps) into Teams as tabs
   • Project management tools such as Azure DevOps, Trello, and Asana can be added as tabs in Teams channels so that boards and work items are visible where collaboration happens.
   • The documented steps are:
     1. In Teams, go to the desired team and channel (or create a new channel via More options > Add channel).
     2. In that channel, select the + (Add a tab) button.
     3. Search for the project management software (for example, Azure DevOps) and select it.
     4. If there is more than one board or project, select the one to add and then select Save.
   • This does not synchronize tasks with Planner; it simply brings both tools into the same Teams workspace.
2. Planner and To Do automation via Power Automate
   • Planner tasks can be managed programmatically via Microsoft Graph and the Planner Power Automate connector, as described in the Planner admin documentation.
   • Microsoft To Do can also be automated with Power Automate, including creating tasks from other services such as Planner, Teams, and others.
   • However, the context only states that these connectors exist and can be used; it does not provide a concrete flow or guide that links Azure DevOps work items to Planner tasks.

Within the provided context, there is therefore no documented, supported end-to-end guide that:

• Uses Power Automate to automatically create or sync Planner tasks from Azure DevOps work items, or
• Keeps Azure DevOps and Planner in bidirectional sync.

The available, documented options in the context are:

• Add Azure DevOps and Planner separately as tabs in Teams channels to work with both in one place.
• Use Planner’s APIs and Power Automate connector for automation scenarios (not specifically tied to Azure DevOps in the context).
• Use Microsoft To Do with Power Automate to create tasks from various services, including Planner.
