Chrono + Azure DevOps

Without changing your SDLC workflow, Chrono derives time data from Azure DevOps ticket activity and categorizes work for you and your team.

Connect Azure DevOps All integrations

Integrate with Azure DevOps for enhanced efficiency

Automatic time capture

Chrono analyzes tasks being worked on so time entries are created for your team every day. No timers to start, no time to manually enter.

Resource allocation visibility

See how resources are allocated across initiatives like epics and projects, with daily categorized timesheets for your entire team.

Zero configuration

Connect Azure DevOps once and Chrono starts tracking time for all users. No extra configuration required.

Works even better together. Pair with Outlook Calendar and Microsoft Teams to capture meetings, messages, and development activity in one place.

How Azure DevOps data supports SR&ED claims

SR&ED claims require contemporaneous records showing how your team's time was spent on qualifying R&D activities. Data from Azure DevOps — captured and categorized by Chrono — becomes that record. The CRA accepts time logs derived from project management and collaboration tools as supporting documentation, provided they're organized by project, activity, and date. Chrono does that organization automatically, so your Azure DevOps activity feeds directly into audit-ready SR&ED documentation.

Common questions about the Azure DevOps integration

Do I need to install anything to connect Azure DevOps?

Nothing to install. The connection uses OAuth authorization — you grant Chrono read access through Azure DevOps's own permissions dialog. Your credentials never pass through Chrono's servers.

Does the Azure DevOps integration change how my team works?

No. Your team keeps using Azure DevOps exactly as they do now. Chrono reads activity data in the background and builds timesheets from it. No new tools, no new habits required.

How quickly does Chrono start generating timesheets after I connect Azure DevOps?

Chrono begins capturing data the day you connect. Most teams see their first timesheets within 24 hours. The integration becomes more accurate over the first few days as Chrono builds a pattern of your team's activity.

Is the Azure DevOps integration included in the free plan?

Yes. All integrations are included in Chrono's free plan. There's no limit on the number of tools you connect, and no integration costs extra.
