I often have tasks where it doesn’t matter who completes it as long as it gets completed. For a large team this doesn’t work but when there’s two of us, it would be helpful to assign some tasks to both of us so that it appears in both of our task lists and either of us can take care of it if we see that the other hasn’t yet completed it.
For tasks that require multiple people to do them, for example if multiple people need to sign a contract, we can use subtasks for those. But subtasks are not efficient in the “either or” scenario I described above where either person could do it.
At the moment we use the Collaborators feature but it’s too easy to forget to go in and add a collaborator, so we are constantly missing messages because someone didn’t assign the task and then also go into the task, scroll down, and add a collaborator.
Hopefully you can understand that one management style does not fit all scenarios.
