A game-changing feature for anyone working with task dependencies – say hello to Auto-Shifting Dates!

Imagine a world where due dates between dependent tasks seamlessly adjust themselves, ensuring a harmonious flow across all project views. With Asana’s auto-shifting dates, you can leave the tedious task juggling to the wizardry of our platform and focus on the captivating art of project management. 

This feature is a game-changer for anyone working with task dependencies. No more worrying about missed deadlines or spending countless hours manually updating dates. Whether you’re a project manager, team lead, or collaborator, this magical capability will save you time and alleviate the stress of managing interdependent tasks. 

Auto-shifting dates for dependent tasks are available in list, board, calendar, and timeline views. You have the flexibility to choose from three different date-shifting options: maintaining the buffer between dependent tasks, consuming the buffer, or ignoring the buffer. This allows you to customise the behaviour to align with your preferred project management style.
