About azure devops
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/boards/Azure DevOps is Microsoft’s cloud-based platform for planning, tracking, building, and delivering software. Its core services — including Azure Boards, Repos, Pipelines, and Test Plans — help teams manage backlogs, collaborate on code, automate deployments, and monitor project health. Azure Boards is especially popular for Agile planning and sprint management, organizing work through tasks, bugs, user stories, and other work items. Adding time tracking to Azure DevOps gives teams clearer visibility into effort, capacity, and progress across sprints. Syncing Azure DevOps projects with TrackingTime enhances this workflow by keeping your TrackingTime workspace aligned with your DevOps project structure. This reduces manual setup, improves consistency, and creates a single source of truth for understanding productivity, project performance, and development costs.
What is the TrackingTime integration with Azure DevOps?
The TrackingTime integration with Azure DevOps offers two separate methods: a browser extension for tracking time directly inside Azure DevOps work items, and a project sync feature that automatically imports Azure DevOps projects into TrackingTime. Both methods work independently to support different workflows.
How do I log time in Azure DevOps automatically using TrackingTime?
To log time in Azure DevOps automatically, install the TrackingTime extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Once active, the extension embeds a timer into your Azure DevOps work items, allowing you to start and stop tracking without switching platforms. The integration also supports auto-generated timesheets, helping you log time accurately with minimal effort.
Does the extension work with Azure Pipelines and other integrations?
Yes, the TrackingTime extension works well across Azure DevOps features and supports integration with Azure Pipelines. As a time tracking extension for Azure Pipelines, it gives teams visibility into time spent on tasks during CI/CD workflows. TrackingTime also supports integrations with other project management platforms, helping you maintain consistency across tools.
Is my data secure when tracking time in Azure DevOps?
Yes, all data tracked through TrackingTime in Azure DevOps is encrypted and securely stored. The extension is built with privacy and security in mind, ensuring that all your work logs and time records remain protected and compliant.
What is Azure DevOps Project Sync in TrackingTime?
Azure DevOps Project Sync allows you to automatically import new Azure DevOps projects into TrackingTime and keep project names updated. It is a one-way sync from Azure DevOps to TrackingTime that helps maintain an accurate and organized workspace without manual project creation.
What’s the difference between the browser extension and Project Sync?
The browser extension allows team members to track time directly inside Azure DevOps work items, embedding a timer into your daily workflow. Project Sync is designed for admins who want Azure DevOps projects to be automatically created and updated inside TrackingTime. They are separate features and can be used independently or together.
Do I need the browser extension to use Project Sync?
No. Project Sync and the browser extension are two independent integration methods. You can enable one, the other, or both, depending on your workflow. The browser extension is for tracking time inside Azure DevOps, while Project Sync handles automatic project importing and updates.
