My Work and Personal Agenda
My Work is the user's cross-project agenda. It is separate from Profile: Profile is identity information; My Work is the operating queue for the person's work.
My Work answers two questions:
- What is on my plate?
- What is late or about to be late?
What Appears
By default, My Work shows My Actions: L3 Actions where the viewed person is responsible. A toggle can add Deliverables: L2 items in swim lanes the viewed person owns or delegates.
L1 Gates are intentionally excluded. A project manager's whole-project control surface is VPM or Gantt, not a personal agenda list.
| Level | My Work meaning | Included when |
|---|---|---|
| L3 Action | Work the person is responsible for | Default |
| L2 Deliverable or Milestone | Work the person is accountable for through lane ownership | When + Deliverables is on |
| L1 Gate | Project-level phase boundary | Not included |
Due Buckets
Rows are grouped by due-time bucket, earliest deadline first:
| Bucket | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overdue | Due before the effective today |
| Today | Due today |
| This Week | Due within the next 7 days |
| Later | Due beyond this week but inside the selected horizon |
Each row shows the task name, project and lane context, due text such as 8 days late or in 2 days, the due date, and a level tag such as L3 Action or L2 Deliverable.
Filters
Use Projects to narrow the agenda to selected projects. Use due within N days to choose the forward horizon; the normal default is 14 days.
The Viewing selector lets a user view another person's work within the projects the viewer can access. This is useful for managers, substitutes, and stand-up preparation.
Selected Row Actions
My Work stays uncluttered by showing actions only for the selected row.
| Action | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Open in Gantt | Go to the actual task row. Gantt includes L3 rows. |
| Open Parent in VPM | For an L3 Action, select the parent L2 because VPM draws L1 and L2 only. |
| Open in VPM | For an L2 item, select that item in the VPM canvas. |
| Edit Action / Deliverable / Milestone | Open the same task editor used by VPM and Gantt. |
| Send Message | Start a task-anchored message. |
Closing work is done through the task editor, not a standalone "done" button, because closing can require fields such as actual hours.
Hours Header
The planned hours header shows the viewed person's Est and Act hours across a rolling 13-week window: 4 weeks back, this week, and 8 weeks forward.
Hours live on L3 Actions. L2 Deliverables roll up from their L3s. When a task spans multiple weeks, hours are allocated by working days across those weeks. Actual hours are an even-spread approximation over the task span, not a timesheet.
