VSTS - Work Items

In VSTS, I am using SCRUM template for my project. I have couple of queries here.

  1. How can we assign a single task to two users? Can we have two 'Assigned To' fields on the Tasks?
  2. How can we add Start Date and End Date to Epics, Features and Backlog Items?

For your first query, you could add a custom field with Allow assigning to groups selected. In this way, you could assign to a group:

  1. You can't. Work items are completed by individuals. If you have a task that is so large that it needs to be completed by two people, it should probably be decomposed into smaller tasks that can be accomplished by an individual, or turned into a PBI and then decomposed into tasks.

  2. Work items don't have start and end dates. They are organized into iterations, which have start and end dates. Epics and Features are intended to span multiple iterations; Epics and Features have a "target date".
