In VSTS, is it possible to assign a Feature/User Story/Task to a team [Group]

Question

Is it possible to assign a Feature/User Story/Task to a team [Group]? I found this link w.r.to TFS, but couldn't accomplish in VSTS.

I've got requirement like assigning a task [Meetings/KT/stand-up call/..] to group/groups rather than individuals.Could someone help on this? Thank you

Answer 1

No, it’s impossible to assign work item to a team/group.

You can find in the document Assign work items to a team member, it mentions a work item can only be assigned to one member:

You can only assign a work item to one person at a time. The Assigned To field is person-name field designed to hold an account identity recognizable by VSTS or TFS.

• You can assign a work item to one and only one team member at a time. If work is split across two or more team members, then you should consider creating additional work items that you'll assign to each member responsible for the work to be completed

Answer 2

We cannot assign an work item to multiple[Group/Team]. Microsoft has not considered this yet, find the link below

Assign a Work Item to Multiple [Group/Team]

In Case you need to point a work item to any single/specific team, you could do that by mapping the Area Path field to that specific Single team[Can't map to multiple teams].
