We're using an inherited Scrum process in MS DevOps Service and recently created a new team that combines two old teams to provide a 'one-stop-shop' experience. However, when we go to look at the Sprint Backlog or Taskboard, we don't see all the work items because we are over the 1000 item limit.
Is there a way for us or Microsoft to increase this limit?
Each backlog can display up to 10,000 work items. If your backlog exceeds this limit, then you may want to consider adding a team and moving some of the work items to the other team's backlog.
For Taskboard , you can have up to 1,000 tasks on a task board. Like backlog, you can consider adding a team and moving some work items to the other team's task board.
Currently, the work item limits are as designed . I am afraid that these limits cannot be changed. You could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site, which is our main forum for product suggestions. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.
For detailed limits ,please refer to this document.
