Azure DevOps available in Microsoft Copilot

The Azure DevOps Plugin is now available in Microsoft Copilot. It brings Azure DevOps directly into Copilot Chat, Cowork, and Code, so you can work with your projects, work items, pull requests, test plans, pipelines, and more without switching to Azure DevOps.

The plugin also includes built-in skills to help with everyday development tasks. You can quickly see what needs your attention, triage bugs, and turn ideas or feature requests into structured backlogs with epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria. All of this can be done directly from Copilot.

Copilot with Azure DevOps

One of the biggest advantages of the Azure DevOps Plugin is that you can work with Azure DevOps alongside other Microsoft content, such as Word documents and meeting notes.

For example, you can take a requirements document and turn it into a feature with related work items in Azure DevOps. You can also use meeting notes to add comments to relevant work items.

Instead of switching between tools and copying information back and forth, you can bring everything together in Copilot.

Getting Started

First, install the plugin. In Cowork, go to Customize and search for “Azure DevOps”. Select the Azure DevOps Plugin and install it.

Installation only takes a few moments. Once it’s complete, you can connect the plugin to your Azure DevOps organization. Enter your organization name and select Connect.

That’s it. You’re ready to start working with Azure DevOps from Copilot.

As a simple example, you can ask Copilot to review your backlog and identify the top three things you should focus on today.

With the Azure DevOps Plugin, you can manage development tasks alongside your documents, meeting notes, and other Microsoft content without leaving Copilot.

The examples above are just a starting point. Install the plugin, connect your Azure DevOps organization, and try asking Copilot what needs your attention today.
