If I tag someone in the user story text, they will recieve a notification. If I update the user story will they then again recieve a notification?
Great video Dani. Love that artwork over your right shoulder too!
Hello, my team is only using determined US status and they cannot be other than those in order to properly impact in our metrics (in progress, new, closed) I'd need more categories in order to better reflect my progress in the US I've been assigned to. Is there any way to classify them and be only displayed for me, without affecting the general view of the US?
I don’t think so. What you can do is customise the Kanban board with different column, reflecting your own statuses. And then use drag and drop US to those column.
Thanks so much for the tips
This was a great overview and clear explanation of when and why to use ADO! I'd really love to see more about how individual team members manage the user stories assigned to them, how tasks are used and managed, etc. For example, what are my interaction points with ADO throughout the day as I work on a particular user story? Am i creating and closing tasks as I see fit, am I looking at the whole backlog and navigating just to my items? Would love to see your thoughts on day-to-day use of ADO.
Thanks for the feedback. Good ideas for a following video 🙂
this is great explanation
very useful, thank you. I added new columns to a board but how can I add also the corresponding 'state' of the task/user story's card? E,g. I have added 'in testing' column and I would want to see a task's state ' in testig ' too but I dont knwo where to set it up. Can you help?
Its great :)
Nice video. Can tasks be used instead of user stories?
Love your videos
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Great, thanks for sharing. Some new information for me
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for this video! Can’t wait to use tags in my projects!
Is dynamics 365 part of PowerAPPs or not
Thank you Dani.. This is helpful.
You're so welcome!
Is there a way to share the template i created in this way with the other uses in the project ?
I think that the templates are visible to all members of a project.
This is good presentation
Hi Dani, What part of Azure would you suggest works with this to form the documentation, like a PRD or PRFAQ etc. The classic Confluence and Jira solution, lets me do all my Product documentation in Confluence, then I can pull stories from Jira into confluence to make a more digestible presentation of stories for the Business stakeholders to review. They won't be reading Kanbans and Backlog lists. So how would I best approach this with Azure?
Hi, not sure as I don't know Jira nor Confluence well enough. And from reading what you are saying... I don't think that you can easily do that in Azure DevOps.
DevOps has a wiki feature which supports markdown
6:38
Hello, am I able to customize states based on what column the work item is in?
Yes, you have to map them in the setting of the board.
Thanks, very nice and helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Dani, thanks for the video, very informative indeed. I wonder if you created the image on ruclips.net/video/hX9jabZBxm0/видео.html or got it from the docs, I find AzureDevOps could be do a better job on explaining its features. More intuitive UI and direct links to video and a more intuitive documentation would also be welcome. Anyways, thanks again for the video.
Hi Thiago, I created the diagram based on some of the images on Microsoft Docs. Thanks for the support
@@danikahil thanks Dani, I have watched all the videos, you have done an amazing job explaining these topics, thanks again.
Good stuff! :)
Thank you for the detailed explanation
Hi Dani, Great video this helped me understand the product much better than the information I have read.
Is there a way to have a feature template with associated User Story templates?
Congratulations Dani. This is by far the best explanation I've seen of the Microsoft technology stack. Clear and concise, it puts all the various components into the correct context. Please do more videos like this. I will be promoting you within my circles.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you found value in it. I will do a version 2024 in a few months ;-)
Hey Dani, really loved your content around stakeholders and managing them. I typically list out other stakeholders that are not typically part of the projects but at needed to enable certain activities. Typically, these could be your CIO, IT Colleagues, data specialists and so on. Keep doing the great work!!
Thanks for the support and great input. Thanks Rajesh 👍
You should storiesonboard which has lots of AI features that also writes user stories to certain extent. it’s really helpful and worth a try 😊
Excellent and concise explanation of Power Platform. Subscribed and looking forward to exploring more of your content.

thank you!!!
Love it 🤩

How can you remove/delete templates no longer needed? Not the work item but, the templates from the template tab.
I think there is an add on for that. I will take a look and let you know.
@@danikahil Were you able to find out how?
@@GillianSCajica Hi, Yes, here is the link that explains how to do it: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/backlogs/work-item-template?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser#manage-work-item-templates
Hi Dani, thank you for sharing this great intro. Very well thought out, clear and easy to follow. Would you consider sharing the slide deck? Many thanks.
Can someone confirm if all the users in D365 would need to have a Power BI embedded license in order to view the Power BI Embedded reports/dashboards configured or is the license just needed for the admins who create and share the reports?
Great Work. When same way Power Pages concept PLEASE ? Also please link this to your playlist to "Ideation & Design"
thank you very much for amazing explanation 😍😍
Hello Dani, thanks for the content! I just saw your channel from nothing yesterday, as Power Platform developer and Azure Architect I really like how you approach all the platforms. Starting the playlist not, as far I saw it, the content is great!
Subscribed! Thank you for the awesome content!
how to edit an already created template?
Did you try this? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/backlogs/work-item-template?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser#manage-work-item-templates
Is it possible to be forced using a template when making a new task? So I click on the + and then a pop up shows with all the templates I made and I have to choose one?
No, I don't think so.
Can you actually make so that specific template selection happens by default. Rather then selecting it every time? I tried to set default values for fields, but they allow only flat line test, so you can't do any formatting.
No, I don't think so...
I have subscribed, i love the explaination.
This will help my team greatly! Thank you
Nice one! quite handy Dani - Thanks for sharing
