Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
Your company has created a single Azure DevOps project called FabricApp. Two product teams-Core and Mobile-must work from the same repositories and pipelines but maintain completely independent product backlogs and sprint cadences. You need to configure the project so that each team sees only its own backlog items and sprint boards while still allowing cross-team reporting at the project level. Which configuration should you implement?
Place team members in unique Azure DevOps security groups and restrict access to specific Product Backlog query folders for each group.
Define unique iteration paths for Core and Mobile and set them as each team's default iteration while leaving both teams assigned to the same area path.
Create distinct area paths Core and Mobile, add a separate team for each, set the team's default area path and turn on sub-area path filtering, then create and assign separate iteration paths for each team.
Create separate Git repositories for Core and Mobile and apply branch policies so each team's backlog automatically filters to its commits.
Creating area paths is the recommended way to partition a backlog inside one Azure DevOps project. By adding a dedicated team for Core and another for Mobile, setting each team's default area path to its respective product area, and enabling the option to include sub-areas, each team's backlog, boards, and sprints are automatically filtered to work items in that area path. Separate iteration paths (for example, Core\Sprint 1 and Mobile\Sprint 1) give each team its own sprint schedule while still rolling up to the project for portfolio and cross-team queries. Using Git repositories, security groups, or only iteration paths without distinct area paths does not filter the product backlog, so work items would remain visible to both teams or not appear on boards at all.
