To perform the following tasks, you must define area paths:
- Query and chart work items based on Area Path
- Assign work to more than one team
- Work with management and feature teams
- Filter a backlog, query, board, or plan using Area Paths
Tip
You can define your area path structure and assign area paths to teams. Or, you can add a team and create the area path with the team name at that time. If teams are fully independent, create a flat set of area paths. However, if you want to create a hierarchy of teams, then you'll want to create a tree-hierarchy of area paths. For more information, see Configure a hierarchy of teams.
To use the following tools, teams must subscribe to area paths:
::: moniker range=">= azure-devops-2020"
::: moniker-end
