Flexible vs firm task due date

[lpb]

@Jason_Bedford, Here are my recommendations which I believe address all the good questions you raise:

Use Due Dates Differently in Public and Private

What do your Due dates mean? I bet at times yours have very different actual meanings. That’s ok, but only if you are sticking to a workable policy, such as the example below. In private (in My Tasks with private tasks or in my own private projects) I often set Due dates for use with Rules (formerly auto task promotion) so I make sure I get reminders and nothing falls through the cracks. The Due date represents the day I’d like to be reminded, perhaps to follow up on the task or to begin workin…

The commonly-stated guidance from Asana and others that all tasks should have an assignee and due date is not what I recommend except in the most simplistic of cases.
