Azure Boards - User Guide

Integrating with Azure Boards will streamline the auditing of the change management process and ensure an accurate and complete list of changes will be received for auditing purposes along with the connection to the pull request to document any change related to code. 
This integration will only export and track all change request tickets that are relevant to the audit, only the relevant projects' change request tickets will be extracted.
This extraction process is automated by Scytale.
