Azure DevOps Sprint Scorecard
React/Next.js/Node.js Azure DevOps extension providing real-time sprint health and status visibility, designed to enable instant insights for both internal and external stakeholders.
Project Overview
Developed a comprehensive Azure DevOps extension that integrates a custom "Sprint Summary" board directly into Azure DevOps work items, providing real-time sprint health and status visibility for stakeholders.
Built using Next.js for the embedded frontend and Azure API Web App for the backend, with secure Azure AD authentication and real-time data integration through the Azure DevOps REST API. The extension transforms traditional status meetings into instant, data-driven insights for both internal teams and external stakeholders.
