Azure DevOps vs GitHub Projects

Azure DevOps and GitHub Projects both tie project tracking directly into a software team's development workflow, but they differ sharply in scope. Azure DevOps is a full, high-complexity dev lifecycle suite spanning boards, repos, and CI/CD pipelines, while GitHub Projects is a lighter, low-complexity board that lives natively inside GitHub itself.
