When Was the Last Time You “Refreshed” Your Projects?

We talk a lot about building workflows.

We talk less about maintaining them.

In organizations (especially long-standing ones), projects evolve. Team members shift. Priorities change. But our project structures often stay frozen in time.

In the past year, I’ve seen that sustainable Asana setups require a rhythm:

Refresh → Refine → Repeat

Refresh:

Archive what’s done.

Remove outdated custom fields.

Clarify ownership.

Refine:

Update templates.

Adjust automations.

Standardize naming conventions.

Repeat:

Schedule governance check-ins so cleanup isn’t reactive.

As an admin, I’ve realized upkeep is just as strategic as implementation.

So I’m curious:

How often do you intentionally audit your projects?

Monthly?

Quarterly?

Only when something breaks? :sweat_smile:

Would love to learn how others approach long-term project hygiene.
