My Work Overview

What is My Work?

This article provides a brief overview of My Work. The My Work feature is designed for Team Members to view and update all work assignments on a single page. The Plan Owner will see the updated values when they look at the plan schedule and elsewhere (reports, etc.).

OnePlan's My Work feature offers a unified view of all tasks that a team member is assigned to, making it easier to know what to do and when. This simple task monitoring and prioritization tool enhances team members' efficiency and effectiveness.

My Work allows users to manage work in a List, a Board, and in a personal Resource Plan. From these views, users can group, filter and sort their work items, view work in a gantt chart, save custom view configurations, add activities to work items, add new work items, update work items, and enter time off.

Example Use Case

As a team member, you are assigned several types of tasks across multiple projects. Using My Work consolidates all your work into a centralized interface, enabling clearer visibility of deadlines and progress. This helps you prioritize tasks more efficiently, and, as a result, enhances your productivity.
