Create and Assign Project Work Items
Create work items so that when your team members open DevOps Center for the first time, project work is already identified and assigned to them.
Before you can create and assign work items, you must create and active your project pipeline.
In DevOps Center, a team uses work items to track the progress of changes created to achieve a specific objective, such as enabling a user story or addressing a bug. Work items help a team manage a release by making it easier to identify the status and manage the progress of related changes.
Work items are automatically numbered, typically in a sequential manner as they are created. However, in some cases, work item numbers aren’t consecutive. Record numbers can skip when multiple operations are running concurrently. Initially, DevOps Center uses a 6-digit auto-number format for work items, but can expand to 7 digits and beyond as required.
- From the Projects page, click the name of the project for which you’re creating work items.
- From the Work Items tab, click New Work Item.
- Specify the objective or the problem to be addressed in the Subject field.
- Use the Description field to provide additional information, including details about the
changes and acceptance criteria.
We use the first 255 characters of the description to help identify changes for this work item in the source control repository.
- (Optional) Assign the work item to a team member.
- Click Save.
The work item is displayed in the Work Items tab.
- Repeat this procedure as needed to track and assign project work.
Both you and your team members can create additional work items as the project progresses.
Now that you’ve set up a DevOps Center, it’s time to announce that DevOps Center is ready to use. See Manage and Release Changes Easily and Collaboratively with DevOps Center in Salesforce Help to get started.
