How we use it / best practices / etc.

1. Commenting sends a notification to everyone following the task, which is great for status updates. But if you’re asking for feedback, content, clarification, details, etc. it’s good practice to reassign the task from yourself to the person you’re asking. That way if the notification gets lost, it will be in that user’s inbox and it’s clear who needs to take the next step on the task.

2. We avoid using subtasks, we find they’re hard to find & see all the tasks open for a project.

How to: push github updates to asana tasks.

Github, Asana

We connect all of our new repositories with Asana, posting any new commits to the appropriate tasks.

Github needs to be told exactly which task this should be sent to, and our friend Otto Bot will post it to Asana. This can be done by writing <Asana #[Task Number in Asana url]> in the commit description (see attached image).
