Required work item tracking activities

For the reports that My Dashboard shows to be useful and accurate, the team must perform the following activities:

  • Define tasks, bugs, and test cases, and assign each work item to the team member who is currently working to resolve or close it.

  • Update the State of each work item the team fixes, verifies, and closes it.

Customizing My Dashboard

You can customize My Dashboard in the following ways:

  • Add columns, or sort columns in an existing work item list.

  • Change the query that is referenced by one of the existing work item list Web Parts.

  • Add a custom query Web Part that displays the list of work items that the query finds. For example, you can add a query that lists all active User Stories, Issues, or other types of work items that are assigned to you.

  • Add existing reports from Office Excel such as User Story Progress, User Story Test Status, and Bugs By Assignment.

  • Create and add reports from Office Excel to show progress that is of specific interest to you.

  • Add other SharePoint site supported Web Parts that integrate with Office Outlook or search functions of SharePoint Products.
