Some of the dashboard widgets that can be added to an Azure Devops dashboard can be configured to show data across multiple team (e.g. the Burndown widget)
Other dashboard widgets require selection of a single team (e.g. the Velocity widget).
I need to show the same data as a Velocity widget (i.e. totals by iteration, broken down by planned and conpleted) but including WorkItems from multiple teams. I could not find any widget (either built in, or in the marketplace) that allowed this.
Is this possible within Azure Devops, without either implementing a new widget, or pulling data into another tool (e.g. Power BI)?

Is there a way to set a hierarchy for custom Work Item Types in Azure DevOps?
We have several custom ones in our company and I have followed the Inherited process tips to create new ones, but still cannot figure out how to set a particular hierarchy?
In other words, how to forbid creating a work item of a certain WIT to be a child of another work item of other WIT?
Azure DevOps does not support such restrictions. Similar functions are available in the Portfolio backlogs: Add a portfolio backlog level.
I'm using Azure DevOps Server, Update 1.1. I'm working in a collection that's using the Inheritance process model.
I'm demonstrating a CMMI process template project to my product owners. For any one work item (e.g. a Change Request), I want to show them the overall state-transition workflow. For example, JIRA has a feature that lets you view the overall state-transition workflow for a work item (see screen shot below).
I'm not looking to edit or customize the workflow. I just want to see the overall state-transition workflow for a particular work item
Is there something equivalent to the JIRA feature in Azure DevOps Server?
You can find this in documentation:
We are using Microsoft Azure Devops
I am trying to get all the levels to show up underneath each other.
A picture might be easier.
In the below the Epic 'Mobile' has the top feature "As a driver, I want....'
Then under those ther have product backlog items.
How can I get the backlog items to show up directly under the Feature, instead of being duplicated further down?
Here is the query I am using:
That is normal behavior for a query with direct links. You may try to use a tree query with the parameters below:
Our team is currently using DevOps and are very pleased with how everything is working. We've setup Dashboards in each project that tracks work items and sprints and would like to do the same at the Organization Level. Is there a way to create a master overview of multiple projects in an organization?
Unfortunately we cannot create an organization level dashboard, it's not supported.
We can only create the Team Project level dashboards for teams, please see Add and manage dashboards for details.
However there's already a user voice submitted here to suggest the feature and it's in planned, but based on the response seems no plans to store a dashboard on organization overview. So you can vote it up and add your comments on the existing user voice or submit a new one to suggest the feature...
In our VSTS Feature
Timeline(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/release-notes/), you
see a feature called “Dashboards – Create dashboard separate from a
team” under “Reporting”
This feature will allow you to create a Dashboard that has no
association with the team. This means you don’t need to create a team,
to make a Dashboard. You can create any number of these Dashboards and
share them with who you want.
However, Dashboards will still be stored with a Team Project. So to
address your scenario (cross-team-project Dashboard), you’ll just have
to pick a team project to store the dashboard.
We don’t have immediate plans to store a dashboard outside a team
project.
Our team was dealing with the same problem as yours, and we decided to develop our own dashboard solution at the end.
After using it as an internal tool for several months, we recently made it available as a SaaS.
You may check it out on meercode.io for more information.
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Behind the dashboard widgets are queries, and it is possible to execute those queries across multiple projects.
When you open the query editor, there is a checkbox:
"Query across projects" checkbox (imgur)
This way we created a project in Devops that only contains a dashboard that shows all work items in any project, assigned to or followed by the current user.
That and some nifty colored tiles =)
I want to retrieve the backend data that's used to specifically drive the Azure DevOps Analytics Velocity Dashboard Report [Committed and Completed Points for each interaction]. I would like to pull this data either using OData feed or the Visual Studio Team Services (Beta) in order to create custom PowerBI reports
[1] Example of the report I'm trying to pull the data from can be found here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/analytics/_img/velocity-ax-catalog.png?view=vsts
Why you have to retrieve the data? You can directly create Power BI reports using Analytics views.
Please see What are Analytics views for details.
When using the Power BI Data Connector, these same default views
appear in the Navigator dialog. The view you select determines the set
of records, fields, and history which are loaded into Power BI.
Default Analytics views work well for customers with small datasets.
To learn more, see Default Analytics views.
If the default Analytics views do not meet your needs, you can create
custom views to fine-tune the records, fields, and history returned to
Power BI.
Please see below links for more information:

Power BI integration overview
I was able to replicate the Velocity report by using the "Stories - All history" view. You would need to modify the view to track daily history and then use the Iteration start date/Iteration end date along with the "date" column to filter out the Committed and Completed data.
