# Azure Boards ### BetterBugs integration with Azure Boards With BetterBugs, you can streamline defect reporting and management by sending bug reports directly to your connected Azure project board. After capturing an issue and linking your BetterBugs project to Azure, you can create and send Azure Work Items straight from the bug report screen. You can easily access the complete bug report with shared links and details within your Azure project. ### How to Integrate BetterBugs Project with Azure Boards: Step-by-Step {% hint style="info" %} Here, we've covered the steps to integrate a single BetterBugs project (within your BetterBugs Workspace) with Azure.
