# Asana Task Management — [YOUR ORGANIZATION]

## Creating Tasks

### Required Information
- **Task name** — clear, action-oriented (start with a verb)
- **Project** — which Asana project does this belong to?
- **Assignee** — who is responsible?
- **Due date** — when is it due?

### Optional but Recommended
- **Description** — context, acceptance criteria, links
- **Section** — which section/column in the project board
- **Tags** — for cross-project tracking
- **Dependencies** — what needs to happen first

## Task Naming Conventions
- Start with a verb: "Draft," "Review," "Send," "Create," "Update," "Schedule"
- Be specific: "Draft [PROGRAM] Q2 results summary for newsletter" not "Write thing"
- Include the deliverable: "Create speaker one-pager for [Name] — [Event]"

## Common [YOUR ORGANIZATION] Projects

When creating tasks, consider which project they belong to:
- [Project 1 — e.g., CEO/Executive Worklist] — items for [executive name]'s attention
- [Project 2 — e.g., Marketing Calendar] — content and campaign work
- [Project 3 — e.g., Event: [Event Name]] — event planning and logistics
- [Project 4 — e.g., Program: [Program Name]] — ongoing program work
- [Project 5 — e.g., Ops / PMO] — cross-functional and operations tasks
- [Add your organization's key Asana projects]

## Process
1. Confirm task details (name, project, assignee, due date)
2. Search for existing tasks to avoid duplicates
3. Create the task with full context in the description field
4. **Confirm before creating** — show the task details for approval
5. Report back with the task link

## Updating Tasks
- Search for the task first using keywords
- Show current status before making changes
- Confirm changes before applying
