Is it possible to see what percent of the task was completed if it has many subtasks nested inside?

As a user I would love to be able to see the percentage completeness of the task just by looking at the board. Is this possible?

Welcome to the Asana Community @anon71475186,

here is a post with some nice tips: Is there a way to display a project progress bar to show the % complete on all milestones and tasks? - #2 by lpb

You could also utilize the goal and subgoal feature to see %

I hope that helps

Welcome, @anon71475186,

If you’re talking about seeing a progress indicator for a task based on completion of its subtasks, I only know of a manual way to do that, perhaps with this emoji-as-meter display:

The best emojis for business and work in general

Great post, @Bastien_Siebman! Here are some additions: Progress: Get creative with the use of just these two emoji: : [image] Multi-purpose sets: Some commonly-used groupings: [image] Status - Comprehensive: Emoji help convey the meanings of this single custom field that combines both status and progress: [image] The first two values (Deferred, Not Started) are for before the task/project begins. The last two values (Achieved, Failed) are for …

Perhaps the Everhour (time tracking) extension could help? It does some roll-up display info right in Asana, but I’m not sure if it can tally subtask completion or not.

Hope that helps,

Larry

I think this would be a great feature if we could have it. totally support as my company hate adding extra add-ons and so have blocked things like those mentioned above.

Hi all, here is a workaround for this using the latest number comparison conditions on rules:

Automated task progress battery bars to show completion of subtasks

Currently, it is not possible to visually show the progress of a task based on the completion of subtasks, neither numerically (a percentage) or visually (a battery bar). Hoping this will become a feature in Asana but until then here is a workaround that addresses both! [image] Before you read further, there is a caveat to this workaround, as it will only work for predefined subtasks, either within a task template or a rule action ‘Create subtasks’. This workaround will NOT work for any subta…
