How do I track my individual work and tasks?
Stay organized with My Work's personalized dashboard showing your current assignments, recent activity, and blockers
My Work provides a personalized view of your individual tasks and activities within your current workspace. The dashboard organizes your work into clear sections, helping you understand what you've completed recently, what you're currently working on, and what might be blocking your progress.
Accessing My Work
Click "My Work" in the left sidebar to access your personal dashboard. My Work automatically syncs with your GitHub activity and Zenhub assignments, displaying real-time information without requiring manual updates.
Understanding the four sections
My Work displays four sections that organize your work activity. Empty sections appear greyed out until they contain relevant items.
Recently completed work
Shows your completed work from the last few days, including closed issues and merged pull requests. This section helps you track recent accomplishments and provides context for daily standups or progress reporting.
Working on
Displays all issues and pull requests currently assigned to you within the workspace. Items show relevant context like story point estimates, labels, and current pipeline status. Special tags highlight when tasks need estimates or are awaiting your review.
Blocked
Highlights issues that might be preventing your progress, including work where you're waiting for code reviews or items that have dependencies on other team members. This section helps you identify bottlenecks and follow up on stuck items.
Mentions
Shows recent mentions of you in comments, discussions, or issue updates within the workspace, helping you stay aware of conversations that require your input.
Filtering your view
My Work includes pipeline filtering to help you focus on specific workflow stages. The "In progress pipelines" filter at the top right lets you specify which pipelines should be considered active work, allowing you to customize what appears in your "Working on" section based on your team's process.
NOTE: My Work shows only your assignments within the current workspace. To see work from other workspaces, you'll need to switch workspaces using the workspace selector.
Using My Work for daily planning
Start each day by reviewing your My Work dashboard to understand your current priorities and any new assignments. The "Working on" section shows which tasks you can focus on, while the "Blocked" section helps you identify items that need follow-up with team members.
Use the "Recently completed work" section during daily standup meetings to quickly summarize your recent contributions. The clear organization eliminates the need to manually track accomplishments or search through multiple repositories.
Troubleshooting My Work issues
If expected work isn't appearing in My Work, first verify that you're properly assigned to the relevant issues in GitHub or Zenhub. My Work only displays items where you're explicitly listed as an assignee, so work you're involved with but not officially assigned won't appear.
Check your repository permissions if you're missing work from specific projects. My Work respects the same access controls as the rest of Zenhub, so issues from repositories you can't access won't be displayed even if you're assigned to them.
For performance issues with My Work loading slowly, try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache. The dashboard relies on real-time data syncing, and occasionally network issues can cause temporary display problems.
FAQ
Q: Why don't I see work from all my repositories in My Work?
A: My Work only displays issues and pull requests where you're assigned within the current workspace. Work from other workspaces won't appear - switch workspaces to see assignments from different projects.
Q: Can I customize which pipelines appear in my "Working on" section?
A: Yes, use the "In progress pipelines" filter to specify which workflow stages should be considered active work for your role.
Q: What's the difference between My Work and Daily Standup?
A: My Work is your personal dashboard showing only your individual assignments and activity within the current workspace. Daily Standup is a team view that shows what everyone on your team is working on.
Q: Why are some sections greyed out in My Work?
A: Empty sections appear greyed out when they don't contain any relevant items. They'll become active once you have completed work, blocked items, or mentions to display.
Q: How do I see work from a different workspace?
A: Use the workspace selector to switch to a different workspace. My Work is workspace-specific and only shows assignments from your currently selected workspace.
Q: What does the "Mentions" section include?
A: The Mentions section shows recent mentions of you in comments, issue discussions, or pull request conversations within the current workspace.
