Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions · free preview Question 1 of 10

A team uses Azure Repos, Azure Boards, and pull requests for all changes to the main branch. Auditors found several production fixes that cannot be traced back to an approved work item.

You need to prevent untraceable changes from being merged while minimizing manual review effort. Developers should still be able to create small commits locally before they know the final work item ID.

Which configuration best satisfies the requirement?

Configure a branch policy on main that requires a pull request, enables Check for linked work items, and requires reviewers before completion.

Require developers to include AB#<id> in every commit message and reject pushes with a server-side Git hook.

Add a required pipeline check that fails if the build number does not contain a work item ID.

Create a dashboard widget that lists pull requests without linked work items and review it weekly.
