How any times you might have thought that write business requirements directly as user stories and export them as a business requirement document to circulate to business users?

Doing this will eliminate a lot of effort duplication and also forces team to keep documentation up to date in Azure DevOps. However, there is no easy out of the box way in Azure DevOps to achieve this. In the marketplace, the extension, Export WorkItems as Document is an extension to achieve this with ease.

The extension offers several options for what you want to see in the exported document. Some of the features include

  1. Navigation
  2. Item numbering
  3. Comments
  4. Acceptance Criteria
  5. Child Work Items
  6. Table of Contents
  7. Showing Type

The tool is very easy to use, and in about three clicks you can generate a BRD or Release Notes or a Change set document from your work Items.

Normally you would need to create a query, so that only needed work items are exported. Queries themselves are powerful feature of Azure DevOps, and helps in several ways including bulk updates and working on large number of work items, and also to display work items in the hierarchy. Queries can be used to filter by release/builds which will help you in creating release notes using this extension.
