Project Log - Tracking All Project Activities

[Ashraf_El_Jurdi]

Hello guys,

I am trying to find a way to track all the activities that happen in a project, from creating the project to the slightest changes such as changing due dates or deleting tasks. I couldn’t find a feature on Asana that generates a project log, and I didn’t find anything in the API that can help me develop such a feature.

Can anyone help me by suggesting a way to do the above?

Cheers!

Welcome to the Forum @Ashraf_El_Jurdi and thank you for reaching out!

As it stands, there isn’t a built feature that records the project log. You could use the Advanced Search tool to create reports to track some of the activities within a project or you could use [Portfolio] feature (https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/portfolios) to track the progression of your project.

There are a few threads in the #productfeedback category regarding this topic. I would encourage you to cast your vote and comment on the ones you you would like to see implemented:

Create Activity feed to Teams & Projects

It would be great if Teams and Projects had a page with summary of all activity in that team/project – on every level down the hierarchy. Such an activity feed on several levels of the hierarchy would serve two purposes: It would make it easier for people to get a quick idea of the history of the team/project It would make it easier to find back to files, comments, discussions, etc. when you don’t remember whether they were added to the team conversation, project conversation or task comments…

Project Updates Newsfeed

I had a request today from a member of our design team asking how he can see all new comments. Our team has a “design” master project in kanban form with every (50-100) design tasks we are working on. Seeing changes and comments on a per project basis would be incredibly helpful as the only option to see changes is either email or “inbox” which has every update associated with that user but not the design project. Including a tab at the top next to: List, board, timeline, “newsfeed”, would allo…

View historical user activity

I’d need this feature for the very same use case - that would be the most useful asana feature to have!

Please let me know if you have any follow-up question Ashraf! Have a nice day!

I would also like to be able to view a change-history log for an entire workspace. Our Use Case is to create a report that tracks all due date changes to all Milestones.

I am also interested in this feature and have added my votes to the other topics shared above.

The report and portfolio features do not provide what we need.

We need to be able to see ALL activities: comments, due date changes, task changes, completions, etc for all tasks per user. But seeing all activities is what is important.

I am also very much interested in this feature.

[Josh_Monifi]

Is this still not a feature!?!?!??!! Is Asana even considering this? It is so upsetting that this continues to be brought up with no action from Asana. This is BASIC stuff that enables people to work more collaboratively and helps managers know what folks are working on.

[Jose_Mario_Cotes]

Surprised this isn’t a feature.

Hi Asana, any updates on being able to see activity for an entire project? thanks

[Antoine_LB]

Hi Asana,
This feature would be very interesting indeed.
Any update from your side ?
Thanks,

+1 We recently discovered data that was removed from a project but cannot see who removed it. Only by analyzing exported data are we even able to validate that the data was part of the project at one point. A user activity history log would be ideal.

Apparently the " The #1 AI work management platform" is unable to do this, even in 2024?

[Peter_Hajducek]

Asana team, please let us know. This is really essential and missing.

[Medical_Cert]

Hi Asana, this is a really essential feature that every other project management software I have used before has as default. Please can you let us know if there are plans to implement this or not? This will decide whether I move my company to a different platform or not. Thanks

I am wondering how come this is not implemented.
I want to go in a project and simply see a log of all activity by date descending
I should be able to filter this by person, or type of changes (comment, creation, completion)
The data is there, we should be able to see this with one click on a project.
