Use the Planned Items page in an iteration plan to view work items
for the iteration. Work items for all team members are displayed by default,
but you can limit the display to only your work items. You can use the Preview
pane to view work item details.
To view work items in an iteration plan, team members must have assigned
work items that are planned for the iteration. The work items must be assigned
to categories that are associated with the iteration plan's team area.
To open an iteration plan, expand the Plans folder in the Team Artifacts view and double-click the iteration plan. To view team work items, click the Planned Items tab and use the steps described in Table 1 to modify the display.
