Just for reference, this MSDN link provides the usage of shelvesets as:

• Interruption: You have pending changes that are not ready for check in, but you need to work on a different task.
• Collaboration: You have pending changes that are not ready for check in but you need to share them with another team member.
• Code Review: You want another team member to perform a code review of your pending changes.
• Private Build: Before you check in your changes, you can use your automated build system to build and test your code.
• Backup: You have work in progress that you cannot finish now so you want a backup copy that is stored on your server and available to other team members who might need to access it.
• Handoff: You have work in progress that you want to hand off to another team member.
