Use this page when an Asana project needs a status update that explains time, not just completed tasks. The report should show whether the project is on track, which work consumed the most time, which tasks remain open, and whether the current pace matches the budget or estimate.
A practical status report starts with the same work structure your team already uses in Asana: project, task, assignee, status, dates, tags, and custom fields. Everhour adds the time layer on top, so the update can connect logged hours to specific tasks and show the difference between progress that looks complete and work that actually consumed budget.
A time-based status report needs a short set of fields: task name, assignee, task status, logged time, billable or non-billable label, remaining estimate, budget used, and budget remaining. These fields let a manager explain the project without turning the report into a raw timesheet.
Group the report by project section, milestone, person, or task type depending on the audience. A client update usually needs milestone totals and billable work. An internal update usually needs assignee totals, over-estimate tasks, and non-billable work. Keep task comments or descriptions only when they explain a blocker, scope change, or unusual time entry.
The common mistake is treating a status report as a completed-task summary. A project can close many small tasks and still lose time on one large approval, revision, or technical fix. Status needs time distribution, not only task count, because tracked hours show where the project actually spent effort.
Review billable and non-billable time before sending the update. Non-billable cleanup, meetings, rework, and internal review can explain margin pressure even when the client-facing work looks orderly. A clean report keeps those categories separate so the reader sees project health, billing impact, and delivery risk in one view.
A one-off report is enough for a single check-in, a small project, or a quick internal review. Pull the task list, add the current time totals, note the highest-effort items, and send the update with clear next steps. That approach works when nobody needs approval history or repeatable budget tracking.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when time affects billing, budget control, or client commitments. Everhour lets teams track time inside Asana, apply hourly-rate, fixed-fee, or non-billable budgets, send configurable budget alert emails, and use project summaries that show total time, remaining budget, and billable versus non-billable hours.

Include logged time, remaining estimate, billable or non-billable status, task owner, task status, and budget remaining. Add comments only when they explain a blocker, approval delay, or scope change. A status report should help the reader decide whether the project needs action, not inspect every time entry.
Use task grouping when the goal is delivery progress, scope control, or client explanation. Use person grouping when the goal is staffing, workload balance, or management review. A strong internal report often includes both views, with task totals first and assignee totals as the follow-up detail.
A report becomes misleading when it counts completed tasks without showing the hours behind them. Ten small completed tasks can hide one open task that consumed most of the budget. Use logged time and remaining estimates together so the update reflects effort, not just checklist movement.
Non-billable time should appear in internal status reports because it explains true project effort, cost, and capacity. Client-facing reports can summarize it separately or exclude the task-level detail, depending on the agreement. Mixing billable and non-billable time into one total makes budget and margin review harder.
Update project status time before each client check-in, billing review, or budget decision. Weekly review works for most active projects because it catches over-estimate tasks before they distort the month. Fast-moving projects need a shorter cycle when budget alerts, approvals, or scope decisions depend on current hours.
Everhour Project Budgeting connects tracked Asana work to time or money budgets, including hourly-rate, fixed-fee, or non-billable project setups. Teams can use configurable email alert thresholds and project summaries to show total time, remaining budget, and billable versus non-billable hours before a status update goes out.
Everhour Reporting uses synced Asana project, task, custom field, and tag data to build detailed reports with 30+ columns and Excel export. Managers can group time by task, person, project, or billing status, then share a focused status view without rebuilding the report manually.
Track Asana task hours against project budgets, alert the right people before overruns, and turn each client update into a repeatable Everhour budgeting workflow.
