Azure DevOps Playbook

Every page in this section indexes a system that holds the real state. This wiki is never the source of truth for board contents, pipeline YAML, or branch policies — those live in Azure DevOps, and we link to them rather than copy them. When a page here and the tool disagree, the tool wins and the page is a bug.

In this section

• Branching & Pull Requests — GitHub Flow, small PRs, branch and commit naming, and the review policy the branch policies enforce.
• Boards & Work Items — work-item hierarchy, the flow board, WIP limits, and how a branch ties back to a work-item id.
• Pipelines & Environments — what every PR pipeline runs, build-once promotion, migrations per environment, and where secrets actually live.
• New Project Provisioning — the repeatable checklist that stands up a new client engagement the same way every time.
