Usage
Once you've created a goal in Betterworks, the Microsoft Azure DevOps integration will be available as an integration when creating or editing your milestone.
Select the project and work items. "Search for work items" also includes advanced search in the same search box. To explore the advanced search, see this article from Microsoft.
After you've created or updated the goal, the integration will automatically be synced to the milestone and progress that has been made.
Data Sync
Automatic Sync: The integration captures data from Microsoft Azure DevOps and automatically updates the progress of your milestones in Betterworks every hour.
Manual Sync: You can also choose to manually sync the progress on your milestones by going to "My Goals," choosing the relevant goal, clicking on its corresponding milestone, and opening the right-side panel. From there, click the three horizontal dots and select "Sync" from the drop-down menu.
Note: You may need to refresh your internet browser as well to see the changes reflected.
