I’ve build up a hierarchical structure of all my work items with excel – all my work items are now organized in multiple levels.

User Story 1

|– Task 1

| — — Sub Task 1

| — — — Bug 1

| — — Sub Task 2

| — — — Bug 2

| — — — Sub Sub Task 3

| — — — — Bug 4

…

But how can I access all items under a certain work item (e.g., “All under Task 1”) and visualize the results in a somehow hierarchical way?

Is this possible with TFS 2010 and VST 2010? Or do I need some third-party tools to get e.g., “All my Bugs for Sub Task 2” or “All Tasks for User Story 1”?

Thank you
Konrad

    In general you need to construct Work Item Queries in VS that have “Type of Query” equal to “Tree of Work Items”.

    To obtain a list of Bugs for Sub Task 2:
    New Query of type “Tree of work items” with Work Item = Sub Task 2 & linked work items Type = Bug

    To obtain a list of Tasks under UStory 1:
    New Query of type “Tree of work items” with Work Item = User Story 1 & linked work items Type = Task

    For an external tool:
    See here for a nice codeplex-solution that generates DGML – trees of Work Items.
