The web portal for Azure DevOps provides support for software development teams to collaborate through the planning, development, and release cycles. You can manage source code, plan and track work, define builds, run tests, and manage releases.

::: moniker range="azure-devops"

This article shows you how to navigate to functional and administrative tasks available from the web portal. There are three levels of administrative tasks: team, project, and organization.

If you don't have a project yet, create one. If you don't have access to the project, get invited to the team.
