Hey there, tech wizards! In this magical session, we’ll explore how to use Azure DevOps Boards to make our data platform even better with Change Management.

What’s Change Management? Change management is like learning new spells. When we add cool features or fix bugs in your database landscape, we need a plan. Just like wizards practice their wand movements, we’ll learn how to manage changes with "Custom Process Templates" smoothly.

These are like special spell recipes. We’ll create our own templates to organize tasks and keep our team on track.

Sometimes, before we add a new feature to our data platform castle, we need permission of a magical instance. It’s like asking the castle guards if it’s okay to build a secret tunnel. In Azure DevOps, we can add special steps for approvals. These steps make sure our changes are safe and won’t break anything.

With this "streamlined Workflows"we are arranging your magical ingredients neatly. We’ll make sure everyone knows what to do and when leads to a good team agility.

So, grab your wizard hat (or coding cap), and let’s dive into the enchanting world of Azure DevOps!
