The My Work view is a user-customizable view that allows team members to manage their own work. Like the Team Dashboard view, the My Work view is an Eclipse view with multiple sections. A typical section shows a concise summary and connects to another view or editor that presents the information in more detail. You can configure which sections are visible at any time.

Start organizing your work. You will see how the load changes, among other interesting things.

Change the plans for work items in the My Work view.

1. In the My Work view, in the Current Work section, right-click a work item; then click Plan for > No Target Iteration.
   The work item moves to the Future Work section of the view. Items targeted to future iterations can also display there. Also note that the work item has been changed; its Planned For field is now unassigned and both the My Work view and the work item are marked with an asterisk (*) Saving the My Work view (Ctrl+S) will save both. This change of iteration target is also reflected in your plan(s). The work item should be part of the Sprint 1 (1.0) iteration, so lets move it back.
2. In the Future Work section, right-click the work item; then click Plan for > Sprint 1 (1.0).
3. Press Ctrl+S to save the change.

Like the Team Dashboard view, you can add sections to the My Work view.

The Event Log section shows event information delivered by news feeds. By default, Jazz provides several news feeds, including Build Events for My Teams, My Work Item Changes, and My Teams in Project Area.

1. In the My Work view, in the upper-right corner, click the View Menu icon; then click Visible Sections and select Event Log.
   The Event Log section displays the default event information.
2. To configure the Event Log, in the Event Log section, click the Menu icon; then click Configure.
   The Configuration of the Event Log dialog box opens, which enables you to add and filter feeds, as well as set feed options.
