Assign tasks to a group of positions

In 2017 Microsoft is creating the possibility in the Talent module to assign tasks to position groups. For example, you can have a group of individuals that work in IT that are responsible for configuring new laptops. You can create a position group that contains more positions, and then assign the Configure laptops task to this position group. When a new employee is hired, the Configure laptop task will be assigned to the individuals that have a certain position. Everyone in that group will see the task in their My task list and will also see that it's assigned to a group. After the task has been started by an individual, the task will show ‘In progress by ’, so that individuals in the group will be aware that someone in the group has started the task.
