I have direct reports and I’d like to follow all of their tasks so that I get a notification when they have completed a task so I can check their work.
Currently I’d have to manually follow each of their tasks every-time they create a task, or someone else creates a task for them. Or instruct everyone to add specific managers as collaborators each time they create a task but they would have to know who is the persons manager and their name and add them.
The workaround we are doing is creating a project for each team-member named after the team member and then we are following the project. Example project named Jane Doe, then any task that Jane Doe creates or is created for her, they are instructed to assign it to Jane Doe and also put it in the project Jane Doe. This is obviously not ideal.
This doesn’t exactly solve your issue, but have you experimented with using the Advanced Search feature to find & save a list of all tasks assigned to Jane Doe?
While you won’t get notifications when things are completed, it’s an easy way to see all of his / her tasks in 1 place without needing to create a new project and manually move everything there.

Hi @Henry.Leenstra, welcome to the Community Forum and thanks for sharing this feedback!
We already have a thread on this topic. I have merged this post with: Automatically follow tasks assigned to a Team member to centralize all feedback. I hope you don’t mind!
Let me know if you have any questions
This would be useful for how our team uses Asana as well. Thanks!
I have a similar situation, but from the other side where I have to add the same set of collaborators for each task. My workaround is to make an empty template task with that set of collaborators, then duplicate it when creating new tasks.
Not exactly a good solution for managers, but I still think it’s better than reminding teammates to add you all the time.
