DevOps module 06

Connect planning, code and deployment evidence.

Azure DevOps works best when Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Artifacts and environments form one auditable delivery chain.

Boards

Translate outcomes into epics, features, stories, tasks and explicit acceptance criteria.

Repos

Protect branches, review pull requests and keep build policy evidence attached to change.

Pipelines

Use YAML templates, stages, environments, approvals and reusable service connections.

Artifacts

Version and retain packages so builds remain reproducible and traceable.

Test Plans

Capture manual and exploratory evidence for business-critical releases.

Environments

Model promotion, approvals, checks, deployment history and rollback ownership.

Architecture interview angle

Be ready to explain when you would use Azure DevOps rather than GitHub, how you secure service connections, and how templates prevent inconsistent pipelines across teams.
