Assign Owners to the Tasks

Assign an owner to each task to identify who takes the responsibility for completing the effort. You can assign more than one owner to a task.

For example, you can assign two developers as owners for the task to create an interface for purchasing a parking pass online. While one developer writes the code for the feature, the other developer reviews the code.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Agile, and from Sprint Tracking, click Sprint Backlog & Charts.
2. Select the product name from the Product drop-down list.
3. Filter the view by sprint to display the user stories to which you want to assign owners.
4. Click Details next to the backlog item.
5. Select the owners by either typing the name in the Owners field, or by selecting a name from the pull-down list.
6. Save your changes.
