In the fast-paced world of software development, Agile methodologies have become a cornerstone for managing projects efficiently. Among the various Agile practices, the concept of story points plays a crucial role in estimating and planning work.

However, as projects grow in complexity, managing story points across multiple work items can become challenging. This is where the Canarys Rollup service steps in, offering an effective solution for aggregating story points within the Azure DevOps environment.
