Multiple Teams on Single Task

It would be great if I could assign multiple teams to the same task. Currently, I allow my supervisors (resource managers) for their own teams chose who in their team is assigned a task, or someone in that team can take ownership of a task. I have tasks that require input from multiple teams, but I can't assign more than one team to the same task, so for those tasks it's not "business as usual", and I can't allow all the resource managers to chose whom to assign to a task...

I have the same need to assign multiple team to a single task. For project planning at an early phase, we are allocation hours to specific task per team. It is very usual for us to have more than 1 team working on a task and each team needs to manage the hour budget that they have for the project.

Right now the only work around that I have found is to create child task for each team with their own budget of hours.

This would be helpful as our projects allow teams to decide assignments based on personal workload. I would love to see this enhancement!

We have recently discussed this with a user who expressed the need to assign one task to multiple teams. Any updates on future developments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone.

Thank you for your interest in this idea. After further research, we want to find the best approach for changing the existing functionality. This request is not planned in the next 12 months so we are now marking it "Not Planned."

Please continue to add your comments and use cases and we may revisit this decision in the future. Thank you again!

Thanks,

It is highly disappointing that this is something not being considered. Any organization doesn't have 1 team that works on a task.... :(
