(noun)
An acronym for Azure DevOps, Microsoft’
s cloud-
based platform for managing software development projects. ADO brings together version control,
work tracking, build pipelines, testing, and deployment into
one place — basically a Swiss
Army knife for developers and DevOps engineers.
ADO is where tasks are logged, bugs are tracked, code is stored, and developers argue over why the build is failing. Many companies use ADO to keep projects organized, but it’s also the place where developers’ dreams go to die in a sea of tickets and pull requests.
