Asana Filters Cannot Simultaneously Show Completed and Incomplete Tasks
Asana's filter system requires users to toggle between completed and incomplete task views separately rather than viewing both at once. This creates friction during task reviews and sprint retrospectives where mixed status visibility is needed. The limitation forces extra clicks and context-switching.

surfaced semanticallyAsana Shows Completed Tasks by Default With Inconsistent Preview Panel
Users note that Asana's task list displays completed tasks by default instead of hiding them, and the task preview panel behaves inconsistently ("janky"). These small UX frictions add clutter when reviewing active work.
Asana Lacks a Consolidated View of All Open Tasks
Asana users have no built-in way to pull up a single list of every currently open task across projects, forcing manual cross-referencing. This is a structural gap in the tool's task-visibility/filtering capability.
Asana only tracks task completion, not granular progress
Asana cannot show partial progress on tasks, only binary completion, unless users build a custom task setup. Limits visibility into work-in-progress status for teams.
Asana Task Search Fails to Match Known Task Names Without Exact Wording
Users report that Asana's search is unreliable, frequently failing to surface a task they know exists unless they type the exact wording used in the title. This forces users to guess phrasing rather than search by recall, slowing down everyday task lookup in a tool meant for fast retrieval.
