Step 2 · Connect Azure DevOps

Connect Azure DevOps securely

IT Agile Governance connects to your Azure DevOps environment in read-only mode to analyze backlog structure, sprint data, traceability, and governance metadata. No work items are modified during standard healthchecks.

Microsoft Entra ID is the recommended path for Azure DevOps Services. PAT is supported as a controlled fallback where token-based access is required.

Fallback
Use a scoped Personal Access Token

For environments where token-based access is required. Use a narrowly scoped, read-only PAT and restrict it to the minimum required project access.

Your token is encrypted at rest, stored in a secure credential vault, hidden after submission, and can be revoked from Azure DevOps or from your IT Agile Governance workspace.
