So I have a couple things I wanted to bring up. Having been in other MRM systems there are a couple things in Asana that I can’t seem to find that would be incredibly helpful.

  1. PTO (Both planning and automatically skipping PTO) (I don’t want these to be another project I would like these to be a system setting)
    1. Having a master calendar
      1. if there was a way to implement a master calendar for the company or Organization in which holidays could be applied to block out times that would be really helpful especially with planning projects
    2. Having individual PTO calendars in which you could put in time off multiples times so you are able to plan ahead. In addition being able to take off a half day for VTO or whatever might come about
    3. Finally tying the other two options together. Having the option when kicking off a project to skip over the PTO scheduled automatically in order to report a realistic delivery date to the partner. ( an option to only allow that at kickoff would be great because you wouldn’t want the timeline changing without coverage unbeknownst to the PM…Id love to have a conversations about what would be useful or possible)
  2. Capacity
    1. being able to individually adjust someones hours per day if needed. For instance if I needed to load one day a bit heavier for a project I could so that the capacity wouldn’t go over.
  3. Aggregation of Duration to Parent Tasks
    1. Currently if I create a task the subtasks do not aggregate automatically into the parent task in regards to duration. If they were stand alone I would understand but if you are creating dependencies it would make sense that it would aggregate up and would be a helpful feature.

Thank you for your help!

Adding on one more thing….I knew I forgot something

Having a “PROGRAM” org structure in between a “PORTFOLIO and PROJECT” . I would help layer and aggregate reporting .
