Azure DevOps is a popular platform for managing Business Requirements Development since it covers the full Application lifecycle from the first request to deployment to production.

Having successfully integrated these two platforms multiple times I can give you the best practices and techniques for 2 way communication and rich feedback from the results of the IBM i functions. If you have been manually updating Azure Devops with the results of your change management functions, here is your opportunity to make that automatic and potentially synchronize your life cycle between the from end and back end. Practical techniques from my experience will be shared.
