Azure DevOps Extension

Charter

Full control over your Azure DevOps organisation. Configure processes, manage projects, and run bulk operations — all from inside Azure DevOps.

Project collection administration, in one place

Charter is a proprietary Azure DevOps web extension built for Azure DevOps project collection administrators.

Process Configuration

Manage work item types, pages, groups, custom fields, state transitions, and conditional rules across your entire project collection from a single unified interface.

Project Configuration

Configure environment checks, service hooks, and service connection checks — individually or across your entire organisation in one action.

Bulk Operations

Select multiple processes and projects and apply changes across all of them in one action. Operations that would take hours to complete manually are done in minutes.

Bidirectional JSON Export / Import

Export and import complete process definitions as JSON. Version-control your configurations, transfer processes between organisations, or automate provisioning.

Zero External Infrastructure

Charter runs entirely within the Azure DevOps web extension host — no Azure Functions, no external backend. Nothing to deploy or maintain beyond the Marketplace install.

Configuration Reconciliation

Reconcile configuration drift between processes, in order to maintain consistency and prevent configuration errors in your processes.

How tier enforcement works

Charter detects your project count automatically and adjusts access accordingly. Growing collections are never fully locked out.

Licence Project Limit Full Configuration Access
Free Trial Unlimited (14 days) Included
Standard Up to 20 projects Included
Standard (over limit) > 20 projects Read-only
Pro Unlimited Included
Growing past 20 projects on Standard? Charter switches to read-only for your collection — you can still browse every process and project, but making changes (process configuration, project configuration, bulk operations, JSON export/import) requires a Pro licence. Until then, configure through the native Azure DevOps UI.

Flat-fee pricing per organisation

Charter is priced per Azure DevOps organisation — not per user, not per project. One flat fee gives your entire administration team full access.

Buying through procurement?

Organisations that need a purchase order, a formal invoice, or a signed agreement can licence Charter that way instead of by card. We invoice you directly and issue your licence key by email — same product, same tiers, same prices. Include your Azure DevOps organisation ID, which Charter shows under its License settings, so the key is issued to the right organisation.

Talk to sales

How billing works

Subscriptions are sold by Polar, acting as merchant of record for Meridian Software. Polar processes the payment, collects and remits any applicable VAT or sales tax, and appears as the seller on your invoice and card statement. Prices exclude VAT. You are charged in USD or EUR depending on your billing country, and tax is calculated at checkout from the same country.

Subscribing is subject to the licence agreement. What happens after I pay? →

See Charter in action

Charter's Processes tab: a work item type copied from an existing process, with its form layout of groups and fields shown on the Layout tab, next to States and Rules tabs
Work item type editor — pick the processes to target, load a work item type, and edit its form layout as it appears in Azure DevOps. States and rules sit on their own tabs.
The Apply configuration dialog: 5 processes times 1 work item type, listing 1 added and 4 modified work item types, a warning that the changes are not a single transaction, and a note that a snapshot is downloaded first
Before anything is written — the change per process, and a plain warning that Azure DevOps applies them one at a time. A snapshot of the current configuration is downloaded first, so you can upload it again to undo.
Charter's Projects tab with several projects selected, the Web hooks sub-tab open on a new web hook form, and the web hooks already configured in each project listed alongside
Projects — select projects, then configure environment checks, service connection checks and web hooks for all of them. The web hooks already configured in Azure DevOps are listed alongside.
