In Azure DevOps, creating a relationship between two work items is an important step in managing a project. Relationships can help to show dependencies between work items and ensure that work is completed in the correct order. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to create a relationship between two work items in Azure DevOps.
Step 1: Navigate to the Work Item
To create a relationship between two work items, you first need to navigate to the work item that you want to link to another item. You can do this by clicking on the “Boards” tab at the top of the page and then selecting the appropriate backlog or board from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Select the Work Item
Once you have found the work item that you want to link to another item, click on it to open the details pane.
Step 3: Add a Link
In the details pane, scroll down to the “Links” section and click on the “Add link” button.
Step 4: Choose the Link Type
In the “Add link” window, you will see a list of different types of links that you can create between work items. Choose the appropriate link type for your situation. Some common link types include “Parent/Child,” “Related,” “Predecessor/Successor,” and “Blocked/Blocked By.”
Step 5: Choose the Work Item to Link
Once you have chosen the link type, you will be prompted to select the work item that you want to link to. You can either search for the work item by ID or keyword, or you can choose from a list of recent work items.
Step 6: Save the Link
After selecting the work item to link to, click the “Save” button to create the link.
Step 7: View the Link
Once you have saved the link, it will appear in the “Links” section of the work item’s details pane. You can click on the link to view the linked work item.
Conclusion
Creating a relationship between two work items in Azure DevOps is a simple process that involves navigating to the work item, selecting the appropriate link type, and choosing the work item to link to. By creating relationships between work items, teams can better manage dependencies and ensure that work is completed in the correct order.
