Viewing a work item in a plan

Viewing a work item in the context of a plan helps you in several ways such as determining the iteration and plan the work item is planned for, viewing all the child work items of a top-level work item, and changing the priority, estimated time, and work item type without opening the work item.
Before you begin
You must assign an iteration to the work item.
About this task
To view a work item in a plan:
  1. Run a query to retrieve work items.
  2. In the Work Items view, right-click a work item and click Show Work Item in Plan. If there is no iteration assigned to the work item, nothing happens after you click Show Work Item in Plan.
    • If the work item is planned for multiple plans in a team area or iteration, the Select Plans window opens. Select a plan and click OK.
    • If the work item is planned for only one plan, the work item opens in that plan.
