Audit traceability in Azure DevOps. A sample of recent completed work items and linked pull requests or commits (ids, titles, dates, whether links exist): [SAMPLE_DATA]. Our policy for linking work to changes: [LINKING_POLICY]. Release notes process: [RELEASE_NOTES_PROCESS].

Calculate the share of work items with at least one linked change, the share of pull requests linked to a work item, and the number of changes in the last release with no link, with the arithmetic. Check whether acceptance criteria are present and whether a test or review is referenced. Identify patterns by team or type. Make a table of exceptions with likely cause and fix. Propose a lightweight rule (branch names or commit messages include the work item id) and a branch policy suggestion in plain words [VERIFY], a weekly report of unlinked changes, and a script for explaining the benefits to the team.

Use only my sample. Do not claim compliance with any standard.
