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 that the team fixes, verifies, and closes.
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 lists.
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 requirements, issues, or other types of work items that are assigned to you.
Add existing reports from Office Excel such as Requirements Progress, Requirements 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.
