Using WinRM-IIS Web App Deployment task/step to deploy your web project.

1. Install IIS Web App Deployment Using WinRM extension
2. Add WinRM-IIS Web App Management step/task to your build/release definition
3. Specify necessary arguments (e.g. Admin Login, Password)

On the other hand, there are others extension in marketplace that can deploy web project.
