What it does

On a daily schedule this workflow audits an Asana portfolio for dependency violations where a predecessor's actual or new due date now overlaps its successor's start. It shifts the affected successors to remove the overlap and compiles a digest of every slip detected that day.

When to use it

Use it for program-level oversight when you want a once-a-day reconciliation instead of reacting to every individual edit, and you need the program lead to see the cumulative critical-path impact in one email.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger runs each weekday morning.
  2. 2The workflow pulls all portfolio tasks with their dependencies and dates.
  3. 3A logic step flags every predecessor-successor pair where the predecessor now ends after the successor starts.
  4. 4For each flagged pair it shifts the successor's start and due dates to restore the gap in Asana.
  5. 5A formatted critical-path slip digest is emailed to the program lead via Gmail.
