help Asana Workload FAQ

How does Asana Workload calculate a team member's capacity?

Asana Workload allows managers to assign capacity limits based on task count, hours, or custom effort points, giving a visual bar to show who is under or overworked. This feature is invaluable for managers who need to ensure equitable task distribution and prevent burnout before deadlines are missed.

Can you use Asana Workload on the basic free tier?

The Workload feature is unavailable on the free version, as it requires an Asana Starter or Advanced subscription to access resource management tools. This ensures that teams investing in the platform get the advanced visual overview options needed to monitor team capacity.

Does Asana Workload integrate with time-tracking applications?

While Asana Workload supports manual effort inputs, it does not natively track time automatically without syncing data from third-party apps like Harvest. Managers often use these integrations to ensure hourly capacity limits accurately reflect actual logged work.

What is the difference between Asana Workload and Portfolios?

While Portfolios are used to monitor the status of multiple high-level projects across a company, Workload focuses specifically on an individual team member's capacity. Workload provides a targeted view into equitable task distribution rather than overall project milestones.
