Azure DevOps Roadmap update for Q3 of 2019

The engineering team behind [Azure DevOps](https://azure.com/devops) is constantly at work delivering enhancements and new features across our services. We recently added new capabilities at an unprecedented pace for Azure DevOps, including support for [multi-stage YAML pipelines](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/whats-new-with-azure-pipelines/), [Pipeline environments and Kubernetes integration](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/announcing-kubernetes-integration-for-azure-pipelines/), [support for authenticating with GitHub identities](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/signing-into-azure-devops-using-your-github-credentials/), [Python and Universal packages](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/pay-per-gb-azure-artifacts/) and [public feeds](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/share-packages-publicly-from-azure-artifacts-public-preview/) in Azure Artifacts, as well as new and updated integrations with [Jira Software](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/azure-pipelines-integration-with-jira-software/), [Slack](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/announcing-the-azure-boards-app-for-slack/) and [Microsoft Teams](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/announcing-the-azure-pipelines-app-for-microsoft-teams/), along with other additions. We also fixed minor to medium issues affecting the user experience on Azure DevOps. As we dive into the second half of 2019, you’ll see significant investments across all Azure DevOps services. The highlights listed below are just a few of the new features coming in the next few months.
