Hey Asanans,
Before we add new tasks for everyone, we’d like a way to determine what kind of workload they already have on their plates. We’re using a custom field for hours each task needs to get seen through completion.
Does anyone know of a way or tool to visualize cumulative hourly load already assigned to each person?
Would really help improve our Asana experience!
This is called Workload, and this is a new feature in the Business tier 
Workload: Now rolling out to Asana Business and Enterprise users
Is there a way to see workload across all projects/portfolios for a given user?
Want to see a comprehensive, universal view if possible.
I think you would need to create a portfolio containing all projects… Can you confirm @Marie?
Yes correct @Bastien_Siebman; in this case @Chris_Marin would need to create a Portfolio containing all project this user is involved in!
That does make sense to have the workload of one person, I would not be surprised if this came along soon…
I’d really like to return to this specific request because since getting workload we’ve noticed that it doesn’t offer a solution to hours accumulated per week for our team. That would be the most useful, not tasks per person. Tasks per person isn’t super useful – some tasks take a minute, some take 40 hours. Hours per person per year would be exceedingly helpful – granular – but very very helpful. Please consider this as an option.
Workload is planned to work in the (near?) future with other KPIs, like a custom field holding an hour count…
Could you give me a rough estimation on when this “(near?) future” could probably be?
THX
@Marie can you advise ? (I don’t work at Asana Valeska)
I just came across this forum thread and thought I would note that this feature is now available; for details, see:
There should be an automatic workload by user. Manually adding projects is hugely time consuming and subject to error.
Maybe this is coming. Regarding the workload of a team, you can check out my tool maybe that can help iDO Tools - Improve Asana with our tools and automations
