Azure Boards vs. GitHub Projects & Issues – Fight!

In this championship for the heavyweight boxer of the world … wait wrong event. 😁 In this demo-packed session, Brian, a former 17-year Azure DevOps MVP and former GitHub Developer Relations employee will dive deep and provide opinionated answers to your questions about which technology you should pick to manage your software development projects. Whether you use big “A” agile, Scrum, Kanban, or YOLO, you’ll see how Azure Boards and GitHub Projects & Issues work inside and out. From ease of use to API support, he’ll bring the praise and the shame to each product so you can make the right choice for you, your team, and your organization. And because it’s the age of AI, he’ll cover how agents and Copilot fit into the ring.
