Our team uses the Kanban board in Azure DevOps.
We were wondering: if we have an unassigned card and a team member moves it across the board is there a way to assign that person automatically to the card? (or change an already assigned person).
Would highly appreciate an answer.

I have a project that I need to manage from end to end so that I track user stories from inception through to meeting the definition of ready and track that on a Kanban board.
I then want to have a backlog of items which meet the definition of ready from which I can sprint plan and then track these items from sprint backlog through development, test and finally to done using a scrum board.
I have looked through the organisation settings, but it seems that when you set the board process all boards use the same process.
is this possible in Azure DevOps?
I love Azure DevOps and burndown charts even more, I really do.
So much that I am trying to substitute the legacy Excel Spreadsheet with DevOps.
While the default burndown chart takes into account all the members of a team, I'd need to get one for each of the team members.
Is there a way to do it ? And if there is more than one, which is the best ?
Following the instructions here it could come to my mind to create a new team for each team member... but it sounds stupid. Anyone had the same requirement before ?
Currently, there is no out of the box way to see burndown chart of individual team member. Users have requested this feature and is currently under review.
Not out of the box. However if you have Power BI there is a plug in for Azure Dev Ops that is currently in beta.
This essentially will give access to the raw data exposed via APIs in Azure Dev Ops.
Once connected multiple burndown charts could be created or have a static filter for each one. Or alternatively create page filters so you could quickly filter by team member. The trick here will be to get the data model correct for what you are trying to accomplish.
We are a software company so we setup solutions for the other companies. I guess we are not unique in this regards :) so I would like to know if we should create a new subscription each time or just a resource group.
Requirements:
We should be able to bill each customer/project separably
They should be able to take control of their resources easily and move to another company
Managing them should not be a headache
What we have tried
We've tried adding a subscription for each customer. This way, we could just change the admin profile and they could completely move away from us.
The billing is also OK, since we receive a different email for each subscription, but managing them is becoming a real headache.
What I guess could work
From what I read, I guess we could work with resource groups instead of subscriptions and handle the billing part with tags (haven't tried it yet. can we?) but then I'm afraid of not being able to move it to another subscription when they've asked us.
Is it even possible? How easy is that? Does it envolve contacting support?
Has anyone tried it?
I would advise against billing using resource groups and tags. The reports are a real mess and 100% unusable. Also, its a lot of extra work for nothing (seriously, do you care if you have 1 subscription or 10?) and adds no real benefit.
Also, you can move resources across subscriptions of different tenants. Best way of handling this is doing a subscription move. That way you dont have to do anything else. They just link your subscription to another tenant and you are good.
I'm talking from a perspective of administering dozens of subscriptions, and believe me, if you move away from subscriptions to resource groups (as a billing\security boundary) you will get completely devastated by the increased complexity of what you are doing.
In my experience working with organisations that provide similar hosting services to customers, I'd say resource groups is the way to go to avoid too much segregation. It's easier for you to keep control of the resources as well as keeping the cost low if you decide to use shared compute resources such as Application Gateway, DDOS protection, etc.
Bear in mind that depending on what level of permission you're giving to your clients, they might have access to information from other clients, so it's important to come up with a good security and governance plan for the Azure environment and strictly limit what they can access.
Moving things from one subscription to another is easy as long as you're using resources within the supported move list. Check the list below:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-move-resources
You don't have to open a ticket with Microsoft to move these resources and the move can be easily done through the portal interface as long as you select all the resources and it's dependencies and you have access to both subscriptions. If your client decides to move their stuff to their own Azure subscription, they will have to give you permission on that. If the resource you're trying to move is not in the supported list, not even Microsoft can move that.
From a billing perspective, I'd say separating by RG and using tags is the way to go as that can be easily filtered in your exported Azure consumption usage report.
We have three developers in my startup and we are members of Microsoft Bizpark.
I am the only back-end developer so i create and control all the resources in our azure portal.
Even though i made the other members as owners of our resources (settings->users) i am still the only one losing credits. I always reach the limit and they always have 150$ left.
Is it possible to transfer the cost of a resource to another member or do i have to create it again from theirs accounts?
Thank you in advance for any response!
I've been using bizspark also, and there is no way to transfer elements between accounts. Depending on the objects you are planning to move, some of them, you will have to create a backup and restore them in the new account.
Basically, you have to create them again. It's a pain, but if you order your components you can get the most out of the 5 accounts wiht 150 usd.
I have 2 subscriptions on Azure, both of which have MSDN credit associated to each subscription.
At the moment each subscription has an equal amount of credit, however all my virtual machines and cloud services reside on one of the subscriptions, meaning the credit runs down a lot quicker than the other available subscription.
Is there any way to transfer or migrate credit across subscriptions, so I can make the most of the credit available?
You can't transfer free credit between them. The idea of the MSDN credit is for Development and test (not production) purposes for the individuals who have the subscription, so things should be torn down regularly anyway.
There is such a thing as "Organizational Accounts" coming into azure (I think it's still in preview. Although that doesn't unify individual allowances, it does allow control over the individual's accounts.
