Register For a Free Microsoft Azure DevOps Account

     1. Open the  My Azure DevOps Organizations (https://aex.dev.azure.com/ ) in your web browser.

     2. Now, enter the credentials of the Microsoft account that you used to create the Azure cloud account.

Note: You don’t need a credit card or debit card to create a Microsoft account, and we are not creating an Azure account at this time.

     3. So, in this step, we need to create an organization. Please select Create New Organization

To create a project, follow these steps:

 1. To create a new project in Azure DevOps, go to your organization’s homepage, enter a name and visibility level (public or private) , and click on the Create project button.

     2.  Click on Start your project and that’s it – your account is now ready to use. After creating a project in your organization, the page will look similar to this.
