For a long time, I thought I was the only one thinking “Never complete someone else’s tasks in Asana”!
But today is an important day: I have proof Asana themselves agree with me!
You can see on the screenshot they are now warning you when completing something that isn’t yours.
But you might wonder “why is this a bad practice?”. There are two reasons:
- you completely took away the joy of completing from the assignee. No flying unicorns for them, you thief!
- you have no idea if they were actually done. Maybe they did the task itself, but wanted to still reflect on what was done, follow up with someone, document something…
What’s the best practice then? Ask them in the comments if the task can be completed. If yes, potentially assign to yourself and then complete… (this last part could be debated).
What do you think?
