How to: Go To Specific Work Items

Work item IDs are unique across all work item types in all team projects on a Team Foundation Server. If you know the ID of the work item that you want to find, you can go to that work item. If you do not have the ID, you can also search for specific work items by using queries. For more information, see How to: Add New Work Item Queries.
