3. Prioritise the content and reach consensus fast through collaborative voting, commenting and backlog prioritisation.
4. Create a high-level roadmap of your iterations/releases with User Story Mapping.
5. Transfer selected cards from Qlerify to your Azure DevOps instance.
6. Plan your sprints in Azure DevOps and start coding!
Before you can transfer items from Qlerify to Azure DevOps, you need to connect Qlerify with Azure DevOps. Simply connect your Azure DevOps project to a Qlerify project and then select the desired workflow and transfer cards (items) to Azure DevOps. Note that you have to be a Azure DevOps or Project Admin to install apps and map your Azure DevOps project to your Qlerify project. Detailed instructions below.
NOTE
Only Azure DevOps Administrators can complete the setup and map projects. If you are not an Administrator, please contact your Administrator for assistance to continue with the configuration.
How to Install the Qlerify App
Start by searching for Qlerify on the Visual Studio Marketplace. Note that only Admins can install apps. The Qlerify app needs to view and update your Azure DevOps items and you need to allow access for this. The Qlerify app is hosted in a region within the European Union in the AWS cloud infrastructure. Select the Qlerify app in the Apps menu and allow access for the app.
1. Click the button "Get it free"
2. Select which DevOps organization you wish to install Qlerify for and press "Install"
3. Click "Proceed to organization"
4. Select your project
5. Click "Project Settings" in the bottom left corner of your screen
6. Click on "Qlerify Mapping" under "Extensions" in the menu to the left.
7. If you get the screen below press "Authenticate"
8. Sign in to your Qlerify account. If you don't have a Qlerify account you can sign up here.
9. Go to your Azure DevOps organization main page and select the desired project from the Projects tab or create a New project
10. Open Project settings in the bottom of the left menu
11. Click on 'Qlerify Mapping' under the Extensions section
12. Map your Qlerify project to your Azure DevOps project (by selecting the Qlerify project you want to map to your Azure DevOps project from the list and click on the 'Apply' button).
The below confirmation is presented after you have successfully mapped your Qlerify project to your Azure DevOps project:
13. The next step is to go to cards overview, select a Qlerify workflow and the cards (items) you want to transfer to Azure DevOps. The cards will be copied to the Backlog of your Azure DevOps project. Since the item types in Qlerify can be different from the item types in Azure DevOps, all cards are imported to Azure DevOps as Stories. Transferred cards can be updated from Qlerify by transferring them to Azure DevOps again or directly in Azure DevOps. Please note that the content of the description field in Qlerify is copied to both the summary and description fields in Azure DevOps since Qlerify does not have a summary field.
