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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Copilot with Azure DevOps<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of switching between tools and copying information back and forth, you can bring everything together in Copilot.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting Started<\/h2>\n<p>First, install the plugin. In Cowork, go to <strong>Customize<\/strong> and search for &#8220;Azure DevOps&#8221;.
