Integrate Azure DevOps items in timeline

@Chris Jolly thanks for the feedback! we are actually working on this right now. Stay tuned!

I did have a question about the start/end dates in a Lucidspark timeline and the ADO cards.

How would you expect them to sync with each other?

@Preston H For me personally I would only sync it 1-way (Lucid > ADO). The reason for that is that I can plan it better visually on a timeline compared to ADO and filling in start and end dates on all work items. 

Overall, timelines/roadmaps are primarily used for discussing the larger Epics/Features with stakeholders and not so much for User stories/Bugs. The latter are planned in ADO already in the sprint boards or forecasting functionality. 

Another point for the timelines you might consider: you can only select to visualize columns in the 2-week sprint cycle. Though the majority might use the 2-week cycle, but I also know teams who make use of the 3-week cycle and even 4-week cycle. 

thanks for the thoughtful feedback! @Chris Jolly and we will take note of that

For 4-week cycles for now, you could use month columns, and for 3 week cycles, you could use week and then color coordinate the 3 week chunks or use milestones

@Preston H Do you have time estimation for integration Azure DevOps items in timeline? 

@Ksenia G In September sometime :) 

@Preston H have there been any updates on timeline to deliver something that allows us to integrate ADO work items to the “Cards” in the Timeline component? 

@TW03166 Tentatively plan on September! 

Any update @Micah ?
