Meeting critical team and business objectives is now more important than ever. For many of us that manage complex projects, that means being able to track all of the work in Asana. Today, in addition to already being able to see your tasks in the List view, youâll also be able to see your subtasks in Timeline view!
For tasks that have subtasks, an arrow now appears to the left of the task box on Timeline
Click this arrow to expand to see the subtasks inside a container that extends downward from the parent task.
Subtasks can be interacted with like Tasks for the most part, and you can find more detailed information in our guide article!
We know this is a highly anticipated feature, thanks you to everyone who has shared their feedback with us and help us shape this new new feature. Please let us know what you think of this feature!
Please note this feature is rolling out gradually (as of today it is available to 10% of our users). If youâre not seeing just yet in your account, donât worry, it will soon be available to everyone!
Quick update to let you know Subtasks on Timeline in now available to 50% of our customers! Weâre hoping to have it rolled out to all our users in mid-January! Let us know below if you have any questions!
This is definitely exciting, and a step in the right direction!!
Our biggest challenge is being able to see a snapshot of all our resources workload (tasks & subtasks) across all projects at once for this week and next week. (FYI - Adding subtasks to the project, as recommended on previous threads, is not an option for us as this is way to messy.) This is such an issue for us with Asana, that we are actually looking at alternatives to move off of Asana. When, if ever, will we be able to see task and subtask assignments by resource & project within a portfolio? I honestly donât care if itâs under the timeline or workload view, or if you decide to add calendar to portfolios that show all tasks and subtasks of a project by resource, we just need to be able to have this information easily accessible. This seems to be a basic and necessary need. Does Asana have a plan in place to implement changes that will be able to fix this issue? If not, we most likely will be moving off of Asana within the next 6 months to a year.
Agreed! I love the new subtask feature â but I spent a long time stacking the tasks properly for my team to read more easily. Iâm really hoping this is a bug that can be fixed!
Now if you could only show subtasks in the workload tab, that could be extremely useful. We need to be able to see our resourcesâ availability and the majority of our staff is only assigned to subtasks. We still have no way of seeing who is available to be assigned to tasks.
Fantastic! Timeline is now much more usable. Now if we can get Subtasks added to Workload, weâll no longer need to manage a whole separate Subtasks section in every project.
Tasks can still be aligned horizontally as long as they have a 1 day gap between them to allow for the expand arrow to âfitâ. Of course, tasks usually follow each other without gaps, unless between weekends so this is clearly an unfortunate side effect of a great feature which will be useful to many
