Natalia, I would like to ask you and your team: “how soon is soon??”
Sounds like it’s been about 9 months, is that too soon for an update?

Just want to add my voice to the number of people needing this. It has bothered me and our team for years that we can’t formally “Complete” a project the same as a task or sub-task.

We are now looking at leaving this software because of this lacking feature and more importantly because it hasn’t been fixed in well over 2 years. As someone with a programmer background this is NOT that hard to do.
I would also like to put in a vote for this feature. It would be ideal if the Status updates on a project could be customized, or if they could at least include the following options as outlined by a previous poster:
- Planned/Not Started
- On Track
- At Risk
- Off Track
- Complete
- Deferred

How has this feature still not been launched? Come on Asana - I love you but this thread has been live for like 2 years.
Archiving is not the same as completing!

The very idea that there is no mechanism to mark a project as “Complete” negates the whole satisfaction and purpose of tracking the project. You archive a project AFTER is it COMPLETE and not needed.
I can’t believe that Asana is not listening to its user base for the past two years. I might as well go back to tracking my projects in a spreadsheet. At least there I can mark projects that have been completed as complete.

Projects, like any other task should always have Complete Task. Otherwise creating a project & not being able to Complete the project does not in any way give overview of the project summary & all the project completion status can have details like tasks delayed/tasks not completed/assigned for RCA.

I agree this is borderline ridiculous. I have given Asana many deep looks, but the great Project Management fundamentals are missing this one basic piece. We should be able to see projects as closed, report on them for months & years into the future, and the “closing” of a Project should bring with it basic other stuff such as analysis of baseline info - planned vs. actual closed date, etc. The fact that the only way to remove a project that is done is to Archive it makes no sense either.
Really hoping you guys can address this!

Hello… Same remarks here.
It’s very frustrating not being able to mark the project as “Completed”… Moreover, it’s unlogic when we use the state system & the portofolio system to not have this feature. Could you give us a date for the implementation of this feature? (Note that this would finally allow you to mark this thread as “completed” 
)

Wow 30 minutes apart since the last vote. Must be Monday mornings that really surface the fact that this feature is so sorely needed!! Projects and goals should be able to be completed, not just sadly marked at 100% and left to sit or be archived. As others have mentioned many times in this thread, there is already a status feature, all it needs is a new “Complete” option (and an animation like completing a task would be nice. Feed us those endorphins!)
Any update from the Asana team would be welcome…

Hello! New user here. We love the project template settings and the automatic date transfer ability. Really would appreciate the ability to complete a project. Archiving a project is a different action than completing a project.

Our marketing team just signed up for Asana since we didn’t care for Wrike. I tried to mark my first project as completed and saw there was no way to. I came to this forum and can’t believe in two years that this feature hasn’t been added! Please add this.

Really hoping this is on a roadmap, this seems absurd to be missing. Already affecting our team.

With many projects in Portfolio we need to have a distinguished marker to specify the projects which are completed and no longer require Status Updates. Archiving is not an option unfortunately ;(
It would also be appropriate to include the number of Votes for all the topics that are merged under this specific topic.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us @Volodymyr_Chornyy! Every time we merge the threads, any votes and comments in the closed threads are included in this one!

Thanks for the prompt reply, @Emily_Roman. Seems I need to work on my math )) as adding 160+77+38+6+(last one I don’t see how many option - "Automatically adjust Project due date… ") totals me to a number somehow higher than the current 127 Votes.
I would appreciate you explain the details of how those votes are merged.

@Volodymyr_Chornyy, those numbers are not votes but click counts, they notify/show the number of times the links have been clicked in the topic.

I’d love to have projects able to be marked complete! (Sections having a completion tag would be fantastic too!)

If I’m not mistaken this is the last comment on the subject? Almost a year ago? Would really be respectful of the community if somebody from Asana jumped in and at least said if you guys think this is a good idea or not. I would imagine many of my colleagues would like to know if this is ever coming…
