npm i adoboards
If you feel like Homer Simpson backing into bushes right before sprint review, you are in the right place.
We've all been there. You're very busy into actual work and then someone reminds you that your user stories need descriptions, acceptance criteria, t-shirt sizes, and business value fields filled in before tomorrow's ceremony. The first time I heard "ceremony" I genuinely thought it was some kind of cult initiation.
Don't get me wrong Scrum and the job of Scam Masters are genuinely good when used properly. But let's be honest: most of us have seen it applied in ways that create more overhead than value, especially for architecture and infrastructure work where the real complexity lives in the system design, not in a Jira ticket template.
After nearly 20 years in the industry, I noticed something: the time spent writing and grooming work items is often disproportionate to the value they deliver. So inspired by git cli commands I built a tool to fix that.
adoboards is a CLI that pulls your Epics, Features, and User Stories from Azure DevOps Boards, organizes them locally as markdown files, and optionally lets AI handle the tedious writing for you.
If it saves you from one more sprint planning nightmare, it was worth building. Star the project on GitHub and feel free to leave a feedback.
