Subtasks update - following up with a few feedbacks from our users, this is how we currently handle subtasks:
Tracking a project with existing subtasks will results in sync of top-level tasks only (meaning subtasks are not included)
Making changes to any existing subtasks OR creating subtasks after the project is tracked will include these subtasks in the progress calculation
This inconsistency has to do with how the Asana API works and the gap between the information returned when querying for project tasks vs. being notified on changes in a project -The later includes subtasks while the prior does not.
We are considering the options we have given the current syncing mechanisms. Our best advice at the moment is to track a project as soon as you create it.
We are aware this is an inconvenience and will update once we make progress on this.
Please note tasks count in Asana Dashboards currently seem to include only top-level tasks as well
With our next small update to our integrated reporting solution, we are now supporting a preview of “Heartbeat” - a pulse check for project task completion, divided into weeks:
To expose the heartbeat graph simply click the Pink heart icon on the left side of the bar, and click one again to close.
You can also hover over the bars to see exact numbers of completed tasks for each week.
To get this updated version simply refresh Asana (ctrl+F5 on Windows OR cmd+r on OSX)
We have a few more surprises coming up, mainly for premium Asana users, so stay tuned!

Hi @Eyal_Ronel
It seems to be a really interesting feature, but it just doesn’t work…
I see the heartbeat picture, but can’t click on it. I tried to untrack the projects, track them again and refresh the browser, but I still can’t have it works. Is there anything you can do to help me?

A few bugs fixes were introduced today, including preventing a duplicated progress bar display. (thanks @Sam_Leahey for reporting this)
A new small feature was added - allowing to see overdue task percent directly on the progress bar itself: (refresh / clear browser cache for the updated version)
Anyone else reporting slow loading of the progress bar? Mine can take up to 5 minutes on my PC running Version 64.0.3282.140 (Official Build) (32-bit). My co-worker with a Mac has the same issue.
Has anybody had trouble with it not allowing it to install or work correctly? I’ve successfully installed the extension and watched the video accordingly. However, my Asana doesn’t have anything allowing me to link it or get the progress bar to show that I can find. It appears nothing has changed on my Asana at all actually.
I might just be cursed!
