What it does

Every weekday morning this workflow scans the active Asana sprint, computes each person's remaining committed hours against their capacity for the days left, and posts a ranked forecast to a Slack channel. People trending toward overcommit are flagged at the top so the team can rebalance during standup rather than at sprint end.

When to use it

Use it when sprint overload only becomes visible at retro. A daily forecast surfaces the slow-building overcommit while there's still time to move tasks.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers each weekday at a set standup-prep time.
  2. 2The workflow lists all incomplete tasks in the active sprint project and groups them by assignee.
  3. 3For each assignee it sums remaining effort and divides by working hours left in the sprint to get a projected daily load.
  4. 4A branch tags anyone whose projected load exceeds capacity as at-risk.
  5. 5It formats a ranked table, at-risk people first, with hours over and tasks driving the overage.
  6. 6The forecast posts to the team Slack channel ahead of standup.
