Team Migration Between ARTs or Portfolios

Background: Currently, migrating teams between Agile Release Trains (ARTs) or Portfolios—or any combination thereof—is a highly manual and error-prone process. It demands deep integration knowledge and strict adherence to procedural guidelines to prevent data loss or synchronization issues. This complexity is exacerbated by the dual-platform environment of TargetProcess and Azure DevOps (AzDo), where misalignment can result in the loss of Program Increment (PI), Team Iteration (TI), or team assignments.

Problem Statement: Manual migration introduces significant operational risk and overhead. Specific challenges include:

  • Loss of PI/TI metadata in TargetProcess during reassignment.
  • Disruption of team assignments and iteration context in AzDo.
  • Increased technical debt due to bi-directional sync complexity. 

Request: We propose the development of a streamlined, semi-automated (or fully automated) migration framework that enables safe and configurable movement of teams and their associated work items across ARTs and Portfolios. This solution should:

  • Provide a user-friendly interface for initiating and managing migrations.
  • Offer control over what data is migrated (e.g., team assignments, PI/TI, historical data).
  • Include validation checks to prevent data loss or sync conflicts.
  • Support rollback or audit capabilities for traceability (nice to have).

Scenarios to Support:

  1. Move a team from one Portfolio to another.
  2. Move a team between ARTs within the same Portfolio.
  3. Move a team between ARTs across different Portfolios.

Ideal Outcome: The ideal solution would also include the ability to select the volume of data to migrate with the team.
