Weekly cross-project blocker digest for risk review

Every Monday morning, scans all active projects for tasks blocked by dependencies in other projects, ranks them by impact, and posts a structured risk-review digest to Slack.

What it does

Pulls every open task across your Asana portfolio that is blocked, identifies which blockers live in a *different* project than the work they hold up, then compiles a ranked digest and drops it into your weekly risk-review Slack channel before the meeting starts.

When to use it

Run this when your weekly risk or program review keeps getting blindsided by cross-team dependencies nobody flagged. It replaces the manual spreadsheet someone builds every Friday and guarantees the room walks in with the same picture.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday 7am schedule fires the workflow.
  2. 2It queries Asana for all incomplete tasks carrying a dependency or "blocked" marker across active projects.
  3. 3A logic step keeps only blockers whose source task sits in a different project than the blocked task — the true cross-project risks.
  4. 4It scores each by downstream task count and due-date proximity to rank severity.
  5. 5It formats a digest grouped by owning team with the top risks surfaced first.
  6. 6The digest is posted to the #risk-review Slack channel as a threaded message ready for discussion.
