Description

This course is designed for IT professionals, software teams, and aspiring DevOps engineers who want to understand how modern organizations plan, track, and deliver software using Agile and DevOps practices with Azure DevOps.

In enterprise environments, successful software delivery depends not only on tools, but also on process, planning, and collaboration. This course focuses on the foundational concepts and workflows that organizations use to manage projects, coordinate teams, and deliver value continuously.

You will begin by understanding what DevOps is, why it matters, and how it benefits organizations, followed by a clear explanation of Agile development methodologies and how they differ from traditional Waterfall models. These concepts are then connected directly to how Azure DevOps supports the end-to-end project lifecycle.

A major focus of the course is Azure Boards, where you will learn how to create and manage work items, boards, backlogs, and sprint planning, including capacity planning for Agile teams. You will understand how teams track progress, prioritize work, and maintain visibility across iterations.

The course also introduces CI/CD concepts, the role of a DevOps engineer, and how these practices fit into modern delivery pipelines. You will explore Azure DevOps features and tools, understand how projects are structured, and learn the steps to enable parallel jobs—an important consideration in enterprise-scale DevOps implementations.

By the end of this course, learners will have a clear, practical understanding of Agile planning and delivery using Azure DevOps, making it highly suitable for corporate training and Udemy Business learners.

  • DevOps Engineers (beginners to intermediate)
  • Scrum Masters and Agile practitioners
  • Project Managers and Delivery Managers
  • Software Developers working in Agile teams
