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...

Sure would appreciate the Multi-Team assignment feature.

Especially on StoryBoards.

We often "borrow" people from other Teams.

The StoryBoard does not display this borrow in a helpful manner.


Thanks for considering!

This is still something that comes up very often for our company, especially as more departments are collaborating using this tool.

I agree with former comments. I would like to be able to assign multiple teams on a task so that a single task can appear on more than one team's Kanban board. We have projects where cross-collaboration happens between teams and giving shared visibility to a single task better represents their work for capacity planning and eliminates duplication where we currently have both teams entering the same task on their individual boards or trading off which team should own the task when in reality they're collaborating in tandem.

Doing a little clean up of Ideas and found that we missed wrapping this one up.   Our apologies.
