Toggl Azure DevOps Integration: Track Development Time More Efficiently
If your team uses Azure DevOps to manage software projects, integrating it with Toggl Track can make time tracking much more efficient. Rather than switching between applications, you can track the time spent on development tasks while staying focused on your work.
In this guide, we'll explain how the Toggl Azure DevOps integration works and why it's useful for development teams.
Why Integrate Toggl with Azure DevOps?
Azure DevOps helps teams plan, develop, and deliver software, while Toggl Track measures how long that work takes.
Using both together allows you to:
- Track time on work items
- Reduce manual time entry
- Improve sprint estimates
- Measure project effort
- Generate more accurate reports
For engineering teams, integrating the two creates a smoother development workflow.
How the Integration Works
Depending on your setup, Toggl Track can integrate with Azure DevOps through browser extensions or automation tools.
This allows you to associate time entries with development tasks while continuing to work inside Azure DevOps.
The exact features available depend on the integration you use.
Who Should Use It?
The Toggl Azure DevOps integration is ideal for:
- Software developers
- Engineering teams
- Scrum teams
- Project managers
- Technical consultants
If Azure DevOps is where your team manages its work, adding time tracking provides valuable insight into how long projects actually take.
Benefits of Using Toggl with Azure DevOps
Some of the biggest advantages include:
- Better sprint planning
- More accurate project estimates
- Improved client billing
- Reduced context switching
- Better reporting and productivity insights
Over time, tracked data can help teams estimate future work more accurately.
Tips for Better Time Tracking
To get the most from the integration:
- Start a timer when beginning a work item.
- Stop it before switching tasks.
- Organize entries using projects and tags.
- Review reports after each sprint to improve future estimates.
Consistent time tracking helps teams build more reliable planning data.
Keep Your Timer Accessible Everywhere
The Azure DevOps integration makes tracking time easier while you're working at your computer. When you're away from your desk, Toggl Lockscreen Widget helps you stay connected to your timer.
Your active Toggl timer appears directly on your iPhone Lock Screen using Live Activities, allowing you to check your elapsed time or stop the timer without opening the Toggl Track app.
