your teams' iteration plans, click the Open Current Work button

Arranging Planned Work
- Past: Work items resolved in the current iteration are displayed in the order in which they were resolved. The past work is grouped by period, such as Earlier Today, Yesterday, and Last Week. This offers quick access to recently resolved work.
- Current Planned: Work items planned for Today and
future periods, such as Tomorrow and Next
Week. When you drag items to a group or modify estimated labor
for work items, the order of the work items in these periods shift accordingly.
For current work, the next unresolved work items are shown at the top of the
view, by default. You can also scroll to today's work by clicking Show Today
in
the My Work view toolbar. Future work is sorted in the order in which the
user intends to resolve the work. This section can be considered your work
queue, which you typically resolve from top to bottom. Start dates are estimated
by the order of work items, their duration, and your planned work hours and
absences. Work items without estimates are marked with a warning. Planned
absences are displayed in this section with the work items. Right-click a
work item in this section to add a work item above or below the selected work
item. - Imprecisely Planned Work: Unresolved items that have not been moved
to the planned groups. Move these work items into the planned sequence as
soon as possible. These grouped work items represent your planned work for
other team members to view in the "Group By" or "Scheduled Time" mode in the
iteration plan editor. The sorting option in the Current Work section's drop-down
menu applies to this Imprecisely Planned Work list only. You can sort
by priority or modification date, and you can optionally group items by color
using the section menu.
My Work Load indicator
The Current Work section
includes a personal work load tool, the My Work Load indicator. To display
or hide the My Work Load indicator or select a development line, click the
drop-down menu in the Current Work section.
The indicator shows a ratio of your remaining available hours in the iteration compared to the estimated hours for unresolved work items that are assigned to you. Resolved work items and past work are not considered when computing the load. Overbooked hours (when estimated work exceeds the time available) are shown as a negative value in red; excess available hours are shown as a positive value in green. The percentage of estimated work items is shown, reflecting the quality of planning. The load indicator is filled vertically as the percentage of work item estimation increases.
Hover over the load indicator for a complete summary of the work status.
