Asana Metric
Project Management
Utilisation Rate = (Allocated Work Hours / Available Work Hours) × 100
Team Utilisation Rate measures the proportion of available team capacity that is actively assigned to tasks in Asana. It compares the workload allocated to team members against their available working hours to identify over- and under-utilisation.

How to calculate team utilisation rate
Why team utilisation rate matters for Asana users
Optimal utilisation balances productivity with sustainability. Over-utilised teams burn out, make more errors, and have higher turnover. Under-utilised teams represent wasted capacity and missed opportunities. Finding the right balance is critical for long-term team health.
For Asana teams, utilisation data helps managers make evidence-based staffing decisions. It reveals whether workload distribution is equitable and whether the organisation has the capacity to take on new initiatives.
Understand and act on team utilisation rate with KPI Tree
KPI Tree calculates utilisation from Asana task assignment and workload data in your warehouse. Place this in your capacity management tree, linking it to workload distribution and productivity metrics.
Assign RACI ownership to resource managers or team leads. Set alerts for both high and low utilisation thresholds to catch problems from either direction.
