I would love to see a “Request status update” for Goals the way that there is for Portfolios. How we would use it and why it is relevant:
- It would ideally give managers/leadership a quick way to request updates from Goal owners in the Asana platform, as needed.
- Right now, Goal owners are prompted to provide updates on Goals regularly through Asana’s automation, but as far as I can tell we can’t connect deadlines for the updates directly in the platform if the update cycle is less regular. Example: I want Goal status updates / reporting to be done before my Board meetings, internal portfolio meetings, or all-team meetings.
- This means that we go elsewhere to request this: Slack or Email, since individual nudges on Asana would be more time consuming as there are many Goals/Sub-goals. Sometimes we will request the update in the comments section, but again - less desirable than the ability to message or request updates from all Goal Owners at once.
-
We will rely less on Portfolio updates now that we are using Goals as an Organization.
-
As far as I can tell, there is no way to specify deadlines for updates apart from updating basic cadence (weekly/monthly/quarterly) unless you are the Goal Owner and adjust the automated reminder.
Really looking forward to something like this - and hopefully the ability to export goals!
Thanks!
