we are an operational support team and we support 3 different Salesforce systems and 1 amazon connect system. i need to create dashboard for reporting bugs, PBIs in a sprint to report velocity, throughput and display the number of work items according to state. this needs to be broken down into 3 different salesforce systems and amazon connect. we have a tag for amazon connect incidents and 1 tag for all salesforce incidents. im new to ADO, any advise is appreciated
I am afraid there's no built-in widget that can meet all of your requirements. But you can use several widgets to track them.
There is a widget called Velocity in Dashboards that you can use to track a team's capacity to deliver work sprint after sprint. You can select a specific work item type that you want to track. Please note that it tracks the velocity for a single team, not multiple teams.
You can refer to the official link for more details.
But the Velocity widget can't filter the work items by tags or area path. In addition, you could create a new widget called Chart for work items to track work items by tags. It adds a tile to display a progress or trend chart that builds off a shared work item query. You could refer to this doc for more details.
So, firstly, you need to create a query under shared folder.
For example, I want to track Bug with the tag: "tag". I can create a query using the filters like:
Work item types=Bug
Tags Contains tag
Please remember to save the query under Shared Queries folder.
You could refer to the official doc to create a query.
After creating a shared query, you can choose the query in the widget. And choose State in Group by column. The chart will show the number the specific work item with the tag according to state.

I am trying to get the percentage of completion of a feature based on the child work items related to the feature.
I am very new to azure devops and I have no idea where to start.
For example if I have feature with 5 related child work items, as each work item is closed, I want the percentage of items closed to be captured on the feature
Is there a way to get this?
You need to create a rollup column to see the progress bar and count of your feature.
Please refer mentioned link for more details. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/track-the-progress-of-work-using-rollup-columns/
In the board view, the top of the column shows a number of work items in each column. I'd prefer that it instead show the sum of the story points of the work items in that column. Barring that, I'm looking for the dead-simplest report/view/whatever that will show me the number of story points in each column of my grid.
Just switched from JIRA to Azure Devops and am feeling like this is a product that has too much complexity everywhere it isn't needed and not enough functionality for basic Agile usage. Any tips for making the changeover more pleasant/getting JIRA-like behavior out of Azure Devops into the bargain would be appreciated.
For this issue , you can create a query that filters for User Story as the work item type and modify the column options to show Story Points and State.
Then, add a stacked bar chart that sums the Story Points.
For details ,please refer to this official document.
I am working through creating a custom process in Azure DevOps and was curious if field values from parent can be shared with child items.
Here is an example:
Create field 'Custom Field 9' on Epic work type
Create the same field 'Custom Field 9' on Product Backlog Item work type
Create an epic and fill in the value of 'Custom Field 9'
Create a child Product Backlog Item, 'Custom Field 9' is then inherited to the backlog items field.
What I've tried so far is to use a rule on either Epic or Product Backlog Item, however, I do not believe the rules can apply to creation of children processes.
One other option I'm going to try later today is a Flow that detects when a child work item is created and perform it automatically. I'd like to try to keep this contained to Azure DevOps if possible.
Edit: Thought it helpful to mention that we are using the hosted solution of DevOps and nothing on premise.
Sorry to say that as default, there does not such a work item features with "out of the box". But you can use another tool to achieve this.
Like you said, Microsoft Flow, there does not such feature supported while connect with Azure Devops.
But, in addiiton, I think you can do this with writing some custom scripts. And then configure Web hook to trigger this custom events.
Also, here has another tool named TFS Aggregator (Web Service) to achieve what you want. You can set and configure apply certain rules (such as copying fields from a parent item to a child item). And it will trigger after a work item is created or saved.
I know this is very inconvenient, here has an same feature suggest which raised by others. They has the same demand with you. You can vote and comment for this suggestion. When there are enough communities vote and add comments for this feedback, the product team member will take this feedback seriously.
I needed this feature as well, but in it's absence I have got it to work (relatively easily) with an Azure Logic App (for anyone also using Azure)
Trigger
When a work item is created
Then
Get work item details using "Parent" as the work item ID to search for
Finally
Update the new work item with any field from the parent you require
I'm looking to create a nice dashboard in VSTS with a set of relevant charts for my collegues so they can keep track of things.
We have a project for keeping track of it operations tasks. In this project we've created different Features for different departments of the company.
Is there a way to filter the user stories by parent/feature so that I can make different charts for different departments? I've managed to create a "Work items and direct links" query that actually only outputs the User stories in one feature, but such queries can not be used in charts unfortunately.
Other workarounds would be acceptable too.
There is a Work Item Visualization extension that you can check whether it meets your requirement (Can highlight specified work items).
Another way is that you can custom a dashboard widget or other extension to display the result: Add a dashboard widget.
There are many extension samples that may benefit you: vsts-extension-samples
Afternoon,
I was looking for some help in relation to VSTS.
Is there any way to have a dashboard widget that shows bugs but only shows them for certain features. (Please see picture 1]
We are looking to see.
FRD001 bugs - New and closed
FRD002 bugs - New and closed
etc etc

Since get bugs based on different feature is actually query by Tree of work items, while charting in dashboard is not support the tree queries.
But there are two work around for your situation:
Work around 1: Add a query results widget in your dashboard
If it’s also ok for you to show the bugs based on different features as below list, you can add a query results widget in your dashboard. Detail steps as below:
Add a new query as below to list bugs based on different features.
Drag the query you added in step1 under the shared queries (As below example drag the New Query 1 under Current Sprint).
In your dash board, add Query Results widget and select the query you added for the widget configuration.
Now bugs will be showed based on different features.
Work around 2: show bugs for different features separately
If you only want to show the bugs by chart, you should add queries of bugs for different features separately, and then add charts of the bugs in different features to dashboard separately.
