Microsoft
Azure DevOps currently has three types of processes:
- Agile
- Scrum
- CMMI
But the
problem with these processes is that they are very process or
methodology-heavy. Suppose you are a new engineer, and you are working with
Github and you want to use Azure DevOps, then you will need to deal with
product backlog items, user storage, and all the technical mambo-jumbo. These
make adopting Azure DevOps very complicated.
So to remove
these complexities the Azure DevOps introduced the Basic process. With
this users could just literally add project issues and start working on them
immediately. Basic Process is the most lightweight. You should choose Basic
when your team wants to develop or create the simplest model that uses Issues,
Tasks, and Epics to track work.
There are
3 work items in Azure Boards with the Basic process:
- Epic: Under epic, we can
create multiple types of issues.
- Issue: Issue may be a bug,
user story, or an improvement.
- Task: Task is the smallest
unit of work, for each issue we can create multiple tasks.
In this
article, we will look into the process of creating a project on Azure DevOps
using Basic Process. To do so follow the below steps:
Step 1: Sign-in
or Sign up to Azure DevOps
- Go to Azure DevOps Portal (Azure
DevOps Services | Microsoft Azure)
- Add your email address, phone
number, or Skype ID to your Microsoft account.
- If you don’t have Microsoft
Account create one.
Step
2: Create Project with Basic Process in Azure DevOps
- Click on the New Project button
on the top right corner.
- Enter information into the Panel
that opens:
- Enter the name of your project.
- Project name can’t contain
special characters such as / : \ ~ & % ; @ ‘ ” ? < > | # $ * }
{ , + = [ ], can’t begin with an underscore and must be 64 or fewer
characters.
- Enter the description this
field is optional.
- Choose the visibility of either
public or private.
- Public: With public
visibility, anyone on the internet has the right to view your project.
- Private: With private
visibility, only people to whom you give access can view your project.
- Choose the right version
control for detail refer Git
and TFVC version control – Azure Repos | Microsoft Docs.
- Choose the Work Item Process.
Step 3: Click Create button.
Navigated to Welcome page.
Step 4: You
can choose the options display on the welcome screen to continue.
- Invite: Using this option
you can add others to your project. You can only invite users who are
already part of your organization.
- Boards: Using this
Option you can add work items.
- Repos: Using this option we
can clone or import a repository also initialize a README file for project
summary page.
- Pipelines: Using this
option we can connect to any git provider and deploy continuously in any
language and platform to the cloud.
- Test Plans: Using this
option we can perform testing solutions using the explanatory testing
toolkit.
- Artifacts: Using this
option we can create, discover, host, install, and publish NuGet, npm, and
Maven packages.
- Manage your services: Using
this option we can disable the visibility of services.
At this
stage, you have successfully created a project on Azure DevOps using the Basic
Process.
