I work on Azure DevOps in few organization. I was looking for a way to move/copy kanban board to another project or organization. I found one way:
Azure Boards Kanban Tools but it doesn't work properly.
How i can do it?
DevOps: Copy kanban board to another organization
There is no such out of box way to copy kanban board to another organization.
With built-in solution, we could only move the work items into a different project in the same organization.
Check this thread for some details.
After those work items move to the another project, they will appear in kanban board.
If you want to copy kanban board to another organization, you could use the Excel to achieve it:
Ticket here: How do I move Work Items from one organization to another
Besides, the extension Azure Boards Kanban Tools is used to allows teams to either grab settings from another team and apply them to their boards or to allow a team to copy their settings to another team. For the extension, you can refer to Migration Tools for Azure DevOps, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, and Plans & Suits from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organisation, and between Organisations.
Hope this helps.

Since the process of one A/B test usually takes multiple sprints I would like to add another board in which I can add the A/B tests (as F.E. features). User stories for one sprint can then be added to a specific sprint for my team (which consists of a few specialists and a developer). This way I am able to overview the status (research phase, test , code writing, running, analysis, etc.) of all tests in one overview. I have not been able to find out how this is possiblie within Azure Devops, or if there is a work around. Can anyone help me?
My team also works in projects other than A/B tests, which means we cannot use the boards section.
Unless there is a hidden way to add another board to a team?
You could Copy or clone a work item to add the user stories or tests to a new boards. Open the user story you want to clone, then click Create copy of work item and choose whether to include exist links, attachments and child work items. After creating, change the Area and Iteration to your target boards.
Update
In Azure DevOps you can only create boards by creating a team. The team board is created as a side-effect of creating the team. Please refer to Manage and configure team tools and Configure and customize Azure Boardsfor details.
After creating and configuring a new team, you could see the boards in the dropdown list.
I would like to know how to use/move azure boards with activity date to a different organisation project..
If you are referring to moving work items from one organization to another, you can use the Excel to export and import the work items to achieve this .
First, you need to create a query to get work items, then install the Azure DevOps Office Integration Tool in azure devops , in Excel click on the Team button and then New List to get data from Azure DevOps to Excel, and finally publish work items to destination organization.
For detailed steps, please refer to this blog.
In addition, another way is that you could think about using third party extension tool like the Migration Tools for Azure DevOps . You can refer to this similar case.
I ran into this problem and solved it, so this Q&A is here just in case somebody else spent time on sifting through Microsoft's docs trying to find this answer.
How do you create a new board in Azure DevOps? When I go to the boards > board and look at my existing boards, there's no + button to create like there is with repositories in the board list dropdown. Additionally, there's not an add button in the top right. And the board settings are just board preferences, not overall boards management.
As it turns out, in Azure DevOps you can only create boards by creating a team. The team board is created as a side-effect of creating the team. Merely creating a board without the team isn't possible in their paradigm as of this writing.

I would like to be able to have the issues and tasks of the different projects in Azure shown in one sprint planning overview.
We are with a small team but multipele projects. so we work on them simultaniouslly
Currently there is no direct way to show all the workitems across projects in one sprint planning overview.
You could merge all projects into one azure devops project and use area paths to differentiate them. Area paths is designed to allow you to group work items by team, product, or feature area. But you can also define different area path for each of the project to group the workitems from different projects. Please check the document About area and iteration paths, and document Define area paths and assign to a team
You can also define different team for each of the projects to differentiate them in one azure devops project(One team for one project). Please check the document about Teams, and the tutorial to add a Team.
Then you can view the workitems of different projects by filtering the area path or team in azure devops Boards, Backlogs and Sprints. Below screenshot for below example:
Another workaround which allows to view all the workitems across multiple project is to use Queries. check Query across projects shown as below screenshot. Please check tutorial Query across projects
I am new to azure devops and devops field. I am exploring myself in azure devops, where learning boards. I I was confused while updating the status of my work item. I was assigned with a task (example: create a login page. Now i went to azure boards and its allowing me to edit the title and priority fields. Those are already set by my higher levels. I only need to add details like time efforts, status). What security is our team missing to achieve this?
Also i need to move the work items from one stage to next stage(Todo to completed) via VS2017. How to achieve that. Now i am currently going to devops portal and drag and drop the workitems to next columns.
If you have permission to edit a work item, you can edit any field on the work item. This is by design. Whether it's a limitation or not is up to you to decide.
You can update the work item state from Visual Studio by linking it to your commit in the team explorer. Refer to the documentation.
