On User Voice there is a request to be able to query on the current iteration<\/a>. We have it on our backlog, but it won’t ship it for Dev11. <\/p>\n

However there is a workaround<\/a>, found by Mark Michaelis<\/a>, that you can use to avoid having to update all your work item queries if the team moves to the next sprint. <\/p>\n

The idea of the workaround is the following<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Add a “Current” iteration node. <\/li>\n
  2. Move all iterations that are current under this “Current” node. <\/li>\n
  3. Work item queries filters on UNDER “Current”<\/li>\n
  4. The query result will show all work items that have an iteration that is under the current node, which are exactly work items within the iterations you just have moved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thanks Mark for being so creative.<\/p>\n
