Azure DevOps

Agile Freemium

As an agile tool built for the Microsoft ecosystem, Azure DevOps puts agile boards, backlogs, git repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and test plans under one roof. That integrated toolchain means planning and deployment don't require stitching separate tools together — the same platform carries work from a backlog item through to a shipped build. It scales comfortably for mid-size, large, and enterprise organizations, with integrations into GitHub, Microsoft 365, Teams, and Slack.

It's built for technical teams, and a strong option for Microsoft-ecosystem software teams that want planning and CI/CD in one integrated suite.
