We get this question a lot, and the answer is no. Why?
Because Asana stands by the principle that having multiple assignees for the same task increases the risk of everyone waiting for someone else to take initiative… and in the end, no one does. Making someone “responsible” is essential for ensuring clarity and efficiency.
Some tools allow multiple assignments, but we think that’s actually a mistake!
Often, when someone gives him an example, we realize that the two “assignees” don’t exactly have the same action to perform.
Result: we end up creating either two distinct tasks or subtasks.
The responsibility then becomes crystal clear!
What about you? Are you team “single assignee” or team “multiple assignees”? And most importantly, why?
