Hi Sir, im excited on this one in the azure devops market place ^^

Thanks @CurlyBytes. I hope I can tackle it after I finish the repackaging, that will make this easier to install in your own tenant. Keep an eye out for that in the next few weeks.

Hi @samsmithnz Any update on this widget? And when can we expect this widget in marketplace?

[samsmithnz]

Hi @pvswamy4084, I don't have an ETA at this stage, and apologize for mentioning "next few weeks" in my previous post. This is a side-project that I'm not being paid for, and dive in when I'm feeling inspired. I'm always open to contributions if you'd like to dive in, and I've made the setup significantly easier, but I haven't gotten close to restarting the Azure DevOps widget yet.

@samsmithnz I am interested in collaborating on this. So far I have some basic experience with creating an extension for internal decorator we used and i am looking for a solution to get the DORA metrics visible in our projects.

Hi - Happy for this to happen - but I couldn't get the CI/CD to work to deploy to the Azure DevOps market place.

Is anyone game to POC this and create an issue with the proposed solution?

[Cadenus]

I can give it a go in the next few weeks, most probably only on the weekends though but still.

we are doing this on the weekends, thank you!
