Assign tasks to multiple users
I need to be able to assign tasks/projects to multiple users.

Thank you for all the feedback. We’ve completed the work to support assigning a task to multiple people, and it is now available for use world wide.
Thanks!

We have big project teams and first paln we tried creting we've hit the problem that we cant add more than 11 people to a task! Please fix, other than that great so far!

Please could someone explain the rationale behind the task limit of "11 people"? Surely Microsoft envision larger teams of people working together within the Teams space? This limit needs to be increased, urgently!!

Planner must allow the same task to be applied to multiple assignees but they must all complete before the task is stated as fully COMPLETE

Piling on that this needs to be increased to a much higher limit; 11 users is not enough for even medium-sized teams.

Please add the ability to assign to multiple people individually so that when only one person completes the task it does not get moved to the completed list!

Are there any plans to be able to assign a task to more than 11 people and to let everyone assigned update their status individually?

I have 5 team members on a plan that should review one document. If I create one task: rivew this document, and assign it to all 5 team members, any of them completing the task will set the task status to completed. What can I do to get a review status for each one of them to say ... understand who didn't review that document?

Our organisation has just gone live with Teams and Planner.
I have just tested assigning a task to multiple users and it doesn't work as expected.
If any one of the assignees completes the task, this completes it for all other assignees. This is daft!
How do you create tasks where all assignees need to complete the task before the whole task is complete? -

This is useful; however you can only assign up to 11 ppl at a time which is not useful. Is there anyway they can allow tasks to be assigned to more than just 11 users???

Seconding the comments that the email notification problems make this less than useful still. Please update, Microsoft! You're so close!

I work in a large school district. I was really looking forward to this feature in hopes that we could assign tasks to all principals at one time. I tested the feature with some colleagues and it still does not seem as though it is going to serve that purpose. No emails were sent out and any single person marking the task complete seems to complete the task altogether. Any ideas on how to use Planner in this way efficiently?
