Team Foundation Server: Assign work item to a group instead of an individual user

Question

In TFS 2010, is there a way that I can assign a work item to a group (i.e. Developers or Designers) instead of an individual user? I'd also want to be able to create a query so that we can filter on that group as well.

Answer 1

Yes, you can. If your group is a member of the larger group that can be assigned to, then it will appear in the list of assignable users.

For example, a user hierarchy might be like this:

[Assignable Users]
  [Developers]
  [Project Managers]
  Mark Avenius
  Joe Schmoe

EDIT As for the query, you can have the clause Assigned To contains @Me, which I believe will do what you want.
