Questions owners ask about Asana

• Why does my Asana chart show more completed tasks than I expected?A task that sits in more than one project is counted once per project when a chart is grouped by project, so totals can be higher than the number of tasks.
• Why does my Asana chart show fewer completed tasks than my projects have?A grouped bar chart shows a limited number of groups, as Asana's help pages say, so work in the other groups is not shown in that chart.
• Why did my completed task count drop in Asana?A task that is deleted drops out of view while it can still be recovered, so a count can fall even though the work can be brought back.
