From disarray to precision: The Keyholding Company's Bug tracking breakthrough

The Keyholding Company set out to transform their bug tracking system by integrating Slack with Azure DevOps Boards through Actioner. This effort, aimed at improving real-time collaboration and streamlining reporting, faced its set of challenges and learning moments. Originally planned as a straightforward integration, it evolved into a deeper version of Azure Slack integration, enhancing their operational strategies significantly.

Meet Sam Poate, the Lead Engineer at The Keyholding Company. Facing challenges with effective bug tracking and reporting, Sam reached out to Actioner to craft a bespoke solution that would bridge the gaps between Azure DevOps Boards and Slack. His team struggled with communication inefficiencies and delays in addressing critical issues, which hindered collaborative efforts and operational workflows.

“Actioner's integration of Azure DevOps Boards with Slack has dramatically improved our bug tracking process, allowing for real-time updates and significantly faster issue resolution. Actioner has not only enhanced our team's collaboration but also led to higher-quality deliverables and improved customer satisfaction." — Sam Poate, Lead Engineer, The Keyholding Company

In response, Actioner developed a tailored Azure Boards Slack app, a transformative tool that allowed for seamless integration directly into their workflow. This new app, now available in the Actioner app directory for wider use, enables team members to report bugs through a simple, intuitive interface within Slack. 

Bugs are automatically logged as new work items in Azure DevOps Boards, complete with all necessary details captured through customizable forms. 

Sam's proactive approach not only solved his team's specific needs but also enhanced the bug tracking and reporting process for others facing similar challenges.
