Assign Milestones to multiple people or allow collaborators to see them on My Tasks

We’re a small design firm that has design deliverables for multiple projects and we’re currently using Milestones to track those deliverable dates.

We have a portfolio that displays all the milestones for all projects within our company so we can review them together as a whole team weekly.

Some of the project leads have the milestones assigned to themselves as the responsible party and one of the perks of this is that they show up as a little diamond symbol on the “My Tasks” calendar; but it only shows up for the person its assigned to.

We’d like to be able to assign Milestones to multiple people so the 3-5 people per project that need to be aware of the deadline can see them on their My Tasks calendar.

Milestones can currently only be assigned to one person, and collaborators on milestones don’t see the milestone on their calendar.

Does anyone have workflow suggestions or best practices for this?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum @Jared_Klingler!

On the multiple assignees question, that’s not going to happen. You can find the expanded reasoning here: Why one assignee? [2024] • Asana.

For the work you are collaborating on I think this topic would solve that, and I’d appreciate your vote/voice: Expand My Tasks with assigned and collaborating tasks

A workaround would be to save a search for milestones you are collaborating on:

Should you specifically want milestones only to be visible in My tasks I suggest you create your own thread in English Forum > Product Feedback so people can add their vote & voice. (Don’t forget to vote for your own suggestion. :wink: )
