Example Questions You Can Answer

Task Productivity:

  • "What's our task completion rate this week/month?"
  • "How many tasks are overdue by assignee?"
  • "Which team members have the most open tasks?"
  • "What's the average time from task creation to completion?"
  • "How many tasks were completed ahead of deadline?"

Project Health:

  • "Which projects are on track vs at risk vs off track?"
  • "How many projects are past their due date?"
  • "What's the distribution of project status across teams?"
  • "Which project owners have the most active projects?"
  • "How many projects were created this quarter?"

Workload Analysis:

  • "Who has the heaviest workload by open task count?"
  • "How are tasks distributed across team members?"
  • "Which assignees have the most overdue tasks?"
  • "What's the task completion trend by assignee?"

Team Insights:

  • "How many projects does each team own?"
  • "What's the task volume by project?"
  • "Which teams have the most at-risk projects?"

Need Something Different?

If the templates above don't match your needs, select "Something else" and describe what you want to analyze. For example:

  • "I want to track milestone completion by project"
  • "I need to see subtask counts by parent task"
  • "I want to analyze task velocity by team"

Scoop's AI will recommend the right configuration for your specific use case.

Snapshotting for Task Analysis

Tasks change over time - completion status updates, due dates shift, assignees change. Configure your Tasks extract as a Snapshot dataset to:

  • Track completion progress over time
  • Monitor overdue task trends
  • Analyze how tasks move through status changes
  • Compare workload snapshots week-over-week

Pro Tip: Enable snapshotting on day one for tasks. Project managers need historical snapshots to track productivity trends and identify workflow bottlenecks.

Analysis Examples

Task Completion Trends

Track daily, weekly, or monthly completion rates with breakdowns by:

  • Assignee
  • Project
  • Task type (milestone vs regular task)

Workload Distribution

Analyze task assignments:

  • Open tasks per team member
  • Overdue items per assignee
  • Task completion rate by person

Project Portfolio Health

Monitor project status:

  • Projects by status (on track, at risk, off track)
  • Projects past due date
  • Timeline adherence by team

Deadline Performance

Track how well the team meets deadlines:

  • Tasks completed on time vs late
  • Average days before/after deadline
  • Deadline adherence trends

Best Practices

  • Start with Tasks: The tasks object contains the richest data for productivity analysis
  • Enable Snapshotting: Track how task status changes over time
  • Combine with Projects: Blend tasks + projects for context on which projects have bottlenecks
  • Use Tags: Asana tags can segment tasks for deeper analysis (e.g., by priority, category)

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

  • Verify you have access to the Asana workspace
  • Ensure the workspace is selected during connection
  • Check that required permissions are authorized

Missing Data

  • Tasks only include tasks you have access to
  • Archived projects are included but marked as archived
  • Some fields require specific Asana plan features
