Problem Description: Currently, Miro supports only one third of the workload estimation methods from Azure DevOps, specifically "Story Points" for Work Items. However, our team relies on another field, "Effort" which is the official field from Azure DevOps for 2 out of 3 process template definitions instead of “Story Points”. Unfortunately, this is not supported by Miro at the moment. As a result, we are unable to effectively synchronize our Work Item estimations between Azure DevOps and Miro, which impacts our workflow and collaboration.

Desired Solution: We would like Miro to support the "Effort" field for Work Items from Azure DevOps in addition to "Story Points". This would allow teams that use "Effort" for workload estimation to seamlessly integrate and visualize their data in Miro, improving compatibility, efficiency, and accuracy in project planning.

Use case: Plan effort for Epics/Features in Miro.

  • Story points is used only for User Story and Bug work items in ‘Agile’ process.
  • Size is used for Requirement, Bug work items in CMMI process
  • Effort is used for Epic and Feature work items in all three processes and in addition also for PBI and Bug in Scrum process.
