Azure DevOps plugin connects backlogs and pull requests to Microsoft Copilot Cowork
🤖 Microsoft introduced an Azure DevOps plugin for Microsoft Copilot Cowork that brings work items, pull requests, test plans and pipelines into Copilot workflows.
With access to Cowork and a connected Azure DevOps organization, users can review a backlog, triage bugs and turn ideas into structured epics, features or user stories.
The plugin can also connect work to Word documents and meeting notes—for example, using requirements to create work items or adding meeting outcomes to existing records. Microsoft describes installation through Cowork → Customize → Azure DevOps.
Availability still depends on access to Copilot Cowork.
