I’ve noticed many people expressing the desire to assign tasks to multiple people. While I understand why this feature isn’t currently available, it led me to think about a possible solution: introducing an “or” condition for dependencies.
For example, you could create a main task and assign subtasks or copies of that task to different people, with the stipulation that the original task remains blocked unless at least one of the copies is marked as complete.
Example:
- Task 1: “Accomplish XYZ” (assignee: Me)
- Copy 1 (assignee: Coworker 1)
- Copy 2 (assignee: Coworker 2)
Dependency: Task 1 is blocked by either Copy 1 “or” Copy 2 being marked complete.
This approach would be particularly useful when there are only a few copies involved. I believe it could address what many users are looking for: the ability to assign tasks to multiple people while maintaining Asana’s intent of single user accountability.
