It's not the work that changes but the impact of your work package that changes. Who sees your progress, how to measure progress and how to determine emerging trends in your product. These are all of the benefits I've personally experienced. Here's an overview for anyone who's just getting started.   Azure Dashboard custom status view: Key Benefits:   Traditionally, Dev and Ops never could see eye to eye.
