Azure DevOps
Konductro integrates with Azure DevOps for organisations that use ADO as their git provider and work item tracker. ADO acts as a kanban mirror — Konductro owns the workflow, ADO provides visibility and auditability.
What Syncs
| Data | Direction | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Tickets | Konductro to ADO | Stories pushed as User Stories. No Tasks, no iteration paths — ADO mirrors the Konductro board state |
| Status | Konductro to ADO | Ticket status changes in Konductro are reflected in ADO work item state |
| Branches | Konductro to ADO | Feature branches created via ADO Git API when a developer starts work |
| Pull requests | Konductro to ADO | PRs created with title, description, and acceptance criteria checklist |
| Reviewers | Konductro to ADO | Assigned reviewer added to the PR on ADO |
| Ticket specs | Konductro to ADO | .tickets/TICKET-KEY.md files pushed to the repo via ADO Git push API |
How It Works
Konductro uses the Azure DevOps REST API with a Personal Access Token (PAT) for authentication. The PAT requires the following scopes:
- Work Items — Read & Write (for ticket sync)
- Code — Read & Write (for branch creation, PR creation, file push)
- Graph — Read (for user identity resolution)
Setup
Generate a PAT in Azure DevOps
In ADO, navigate to User Settings and then Personal Access Tokens. Create a token with the scopes listed above. Set an appropriate expiration.
Configure in Konductro
In Konductro, go to the project's Settings and then Integrations. Enter the ADO organisation name, project name, and PAT.
Link repositories
Add repositories from your ADO project. Konductro discovers available repos and lets you link them to the project.
ADO as a Kanban Mirror
ADO is not a parallel workflow — it is a read-through view. Teams that need ADO for compliance, reporting, or client visibility get it without maintaining two systems. All actions (start work, create PR, transition to QA) happen in Konductro and are reflected in ADO automatically.
This means:
- No duplicate data entry
- No drift between what Konductro says and what ADO shows
- Stakeholders who live in ADO see accurate, real-time status
