Weekly AI Resolution Plan for Asana Dependency Deadlocks
Each week an agent analyzes all Asana deadlock and near-deadlock chains, drafts a prioritized unblock plan with owners and reasoning.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
This workflow has an agent reason over the whole web of stalled and circular Asana dependencies, then write a human-readable resolution plan: which chain to break first, who should own it, and why. It creates the unblock subtasks in Asana and emails the program manager a digest of the week's plan.
When to use it
Use it for a weekly program review when you want more than a list of deadlocks, you want a recommended sequence of moves to clear them, with rationale you can defend in the meeting.
How it works
- 1A weekly schedule triggers the run.
- 2The workflow gathers Asana dependency chains, owners, and ages.
- 3An agent step ranks the deadlocks by impact and drafts an ordered unblock plan with reasoning for each step.
- 4It creates an unblock subtask in Asana under each recommended action, assigned to the proposed owner.
- 5It emails the program manager a Gmail digest summarizing the plan and linking the created subtasks.
