Why does my Asana chart show fewer completed tasks than my projects have?
The Asana help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: 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.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Asana help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.

How does Asana work with Feder?
- Connect Asana to Feder and it joins your Wins apps.
- When you connect Asana, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in Asana, one of your Wins apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Asana.
