Welcome to the Forum @Jas_Gebi and thank you for sharing this great feedback! Iām glad to hear you are enjoying all our new features and updates And while I donāt have an update to share regarding this feature, Iāll follow-up on this thread as soon as I get an update. In the meantime thanks for your patience and understanding, we really appreciate it!
It seems as though it would make sense for there to be an ability to complete a project once itās done. As of right now, all that can be viewed is a graph over time of completed tasks. This is useful, but thereās no way to make the project complete, only to delete it entirely. I would also like to see a way of setting meaningful metrics in the progress menu. We have target numbers we need to reach and want an ability to view those in Asana. There is a lot of opportunity for the Progress pane.
+1 to ācomplete projectā feature.
Is there an update on this being added? This thread/request started in Aprilā18.
I have my entire team working with Asana and asking me how to mark their projects as complete. A project is not āCompleteā when it still shows as āOn Trackā. We really need to add this feature. Seems like it would simple. Please provide an update as to timing for adding this. Thanks!
This is incredibly frustrating to not be able to "completeā a project. Not just for the satisfaction of closing the project but for reporting its a must. I donāt understand how this isnāt something that is being considered more of a priority.
I would love to be able to mark a project as āCompleteā without archiving it. I want to keep my projects in my portfolio so that I can use it as a roadmap, but I also donāt want to change the due dates, which from what I can see is the only way to not have the project appear overdue at present.
Could a status āCompleteā be added to the current selection?

Hi Natalia,
It looks like many others have the same request as I do, to allow us to mark projects complete. Is there an update on the progress of this?
Hi @Justin_Diller and welcome to the Forum! I donāt have any news to share at the moment but rest ensure Iāll share information here as soon as I get any update about this topic.
Have a great week Justin!

It is unbeliefable that this feature does not existā¦
- to complete project feature.
Happy 2020, Asana. Letās make this happen.
Asana community and @Asana_Admin and @Strativepm, I am currently exploring alternatives to Asana due to the lack of response to this and other old requests. It is truly disappointing that something so highly requested seems to be being ignored. If there is any timetable or expectation for making this change, please advise.
Dave is absolutely right. As a PM itās hard to present a Scope of Work based on the archive because thereās no way to delineate which were archived because of failure / pivot and which were completed.
In addition, if you archive a project that is incomplete, the tasks stay associated with the team members on their on threads, which makes work more cumbersome and tracking of responsbilities overtime less reliable. They either have to āmark the task as completeā which is false, or delete it which would make it hard to resurrect the project, or delete themselves from the task or the date, which makes it hard to come back to that project,
Iāve found that an archived project can be resurrected and it would be really nice to learn from historic efforts in order to not repeat the failure.
Anyway, thatās probably a bit too grand as far as aspirations go in the immediate future, but it would certainly be helpful to have that type of insight and functionality.
Thanks for all you do! Not complaining, just expanding.
I am evaluating Asana for several growing teams that do not have collaborative project management tools. I really like many features of Asana and am looking to start digging into some of the value add components. However, not being able to ācompleteā projects and filter out the completed and archived projects in the home page and such, will be an issue to sell this to the teams. Being able to hide these as default like in the side bar would be great.
+1 to ācomplete projectā feature.
I donāt understand how this topic has so much support from users, but seems to have very little feedback from Asana?
Are there still NO plans to add this feature?
Hello -
This is yet another feature request (although I might suggest bug fix) that has been open for years with no forward momentum. Why would a someone develop project management software and omit the ability to mark a project āCompletedā ?
Would someone from Asana please address this issue and get this on the development roadmap?
Thank you.
The need for us to have a completed project option is incredibly high. This should be an achievable task for the platform team to develop. This could easily be added to the status drop down, or give the whole project a mark as complete option. Is this something the development team are actively working towards based on all the previous feedback as above? If so, please some kind of time frame as to when this much needed fix will be available. Thank you
Adding my vote to this feature request. It is one of the most common complaints from my team (and me) regarding closing out projects. And it would be great to notify out that the project is completed and archived to the team, etc.
Please prioritize and implement this feature asap! Bought Asana a month ago and only now found out that this VERY simple thing is not doable. Very frustrating. Is this indicative that Asana product managers have never completed a project? lol
+1 for this feature to be implemented ASAP.
