Is PointHuddle's Azure DevOps integration free?

Yes. Import and write-back are free, with no per-seat fees and no account.

Does it work with Azure DevOps Server on-premises?

No. Only Azure DevOps Services organisations at dev.azure.com (or the older visualstudio.com addresses) can be connected.

Which work items can I import?

Up to 100 at a time from the team's current iteration or a WIQL query. Closed and removed items and tasks are left out of the iteration view.

Which field gets the estimate?

Story Points (Agile process) by default, or Effort (Scrum) or Size (CMMI), as the host chooses. Only number cards are written.

Planning poker for Azure DevOps

Connect a PointHuddle room to Azure DevOps, import the work items for your next sprint, estimate them together, and write each accepted estimate back to the work item. It’s free, with no per-seat fees, and your team joins with a link and a name.

How it works

Create a token. In Azure DevOps, open User settings → Personal access tokens and create a token with Work Items: Read & write. Read is enough if you only want to import.
Connect the room. In PointHuddle, open Room settings → Azure DevOps, enter your organisation (https://dev.azure.com/your-org) and paste the token.
Pick the project and team. With one project it is chosen for you. The team defaults to the project’s default team.
Import work items from the team’s current iteration, or with a WIQL query. Each item shows its id, title, type, state and current points. Tick up to 100 and import. Each becomes a story like #123 Checkout page, linked to the work item.
Estimate. Vote in private, reveal together, talk about the spread, accept.
Estimates go back. When you accept a number card, PointHuddle writes it to the work item. The Azure DevOps section shows the last result, with Azure DevOps’ own message if it refused.

Which field is written

Process	Field
Agile	Story Points (the default)
Scrum	Effort
CMMI	Size

The host picks the field. Write-back is on by default and can be turned off. Only number cards are written; T-shirt sizes, ? and ☕ are not.

Your token and data

The token is checked with Azure DevOps, stored encrypted, shown only masked, and never logged.
PointHuddle only calls https://dev.azure.com/your-org, and changes nothing but the points field of work items you imported.
For each imported work item, the room keeps its id, title and link. In a password-protected room, the link is stored encrypted, and each write-back uses a one-time key for that round.
Disconnect deletes the token and the links; the stories stay. Rooms are deleted 7, 30 or 90 days after their last activity, as the host chooses.

A room uses one tracker at a time: Azure DevOps, Jira, Linear or GitHub.
