Sprint Goals for Azure DevOps
Give every team a goal for every sprint, keep it in front of the team, and record whether it was met. Built for organizations with more than one team: each team sees only its own goal, even when teams share the same sprints.
What it does
- A Goal tab on the Sprints page, next to Taskboard, Backlog and Capacity, for the sprint and team you are looking at. A Sprint goal tab on the Backlogs page shows the current sprint's goal.
- Every team on one page. Boards > Sprint Goals lists each team's goal for its current sprint, its outcome and the team's hit rate. Pick a team to edit its goals.
- A dashboard widget with a team's current goal, days left, last sprint's outcome and the hit rate.
- Achieved, partly or missed. Judge the goal at the sprint review and add a note. A sprint that ended without an outcome asks for one.
- History. Every past goal with its outcome, a hit rate (partly counts as half) and a streak. A missed or partly achieved goal can be carried over to the next sprint in one click.
- Saves as you type. No Save button. Text typed just before the page closes is kept in the browser and saved next time. Two people editing the same goal keep both sets of changes.
The screenshots are from a test organization; the team names and goals are sample data.

FAQ
Several teams run on the same sprints. Does each team get its own goal? Yes. Goals are stored per team, and the tab reads the team from the page it is opened on.
Do I have to press Save? No. Changes save a moment after you stop typing.
Does it work on Azure DevOps Server? Not in this version. It targets Azure DevOps Services.
Is anything sent to LeDuc Systems? No goal text. The extension has no analytics.
