What is Azure DevOps Boards?

Azure Boards is Microsoft's agile planning tool within the Azure DevOps suite, offering Kanban boards, product and sprint backlogs, scrum boards, and customizable dashboards for tracking work items such as bugs, tasks, and user stories. It supports both Scrum and Kanban methodologies and provides delivery plans, burndown charts, and traceability across a team's work.

Azure Boards is free for the first five users on the Basic plan and offers an unlimited free Stakeholder tier with reduced functionality, while additional Basic users cost a monthly per-user fee and a Basic plus Test Plans tier adds manual and exploratory testing tools. It integrates with Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines, GitHub, and Visual Studio, and is commonly used by development teams already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem.
