This topic assumes that you have a plan for an associated team area and iteration.
About this task
  1. To open a plan, double-click it in the Team Artifacts view.
  2. Click the Planned Items tab.
  3. To add work items to a plan:
    • Select an entry in the Work Items view and drag it to the Planned Items page. Drag it to a user or category to assign it. Drag it to a work item to make it a child of the work item.
    • Modify an existing work item so that its category and planned iteration match the criteria for the plan.
    • Create a new work item. Right-click a group folder or a work item and click Add Work Item and select a work item type.
  4. To set a default type for new work items, right-click a group folder or work item and click Add Work Item > Set Default, select a work item type, and click OK. You can then press Ctrl+Enter to add a work item of that type to the planned items. If you set the default type to User Selected, the type menu opens when you press Ctrl+Enter.
