# Project status updates now have comments > We’ve added commenting on status updates, so your teammates can respond to your latest project news. Source: https://asana.com/inside-asana/status-updates-have-comments ## Project status updates now have comments As the final feature of [Polish Week,](https://blog.asana.com/2016/02/polish-week-know-your-teammates/) we’ve added commenting to project status updates. Project status updates help you communicate the state of a project. They let you set a color (Green: on track, Yellow: at risk, or Red: off track ) and post a summary of your progress to project members. But until now, you couldn’t comment on a project status update. Now you can! Project members can reply to updates with questions and feedback, or they can create a task directly from a comment. [Project status updates now have comments.](http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Project%20status%20updates%20now%20have%20comments.%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.asana.com%2F%3Fp%3D4524%20via%20%40asana) ### Status check As a project owner, it’s important to keep your project team and other stakeholders up to date on your progress. Status updates let you share the current state of the project with all project members. Status colors signal how things are going and whether the project needs attention. Project owners can set up reminders to update their project status every week (they’ll get a task to prompt them). Status updates are useful for communicating milestones being hit, roadblocks, changes in timeline, or ongoing progress reports. They can even help you cut down on those dreaded weekly check-in meetings. They’re great for all project members, especially those who only want the highest-level view and aren’t following every task. Now that we’ve added commenting on status updates, when a teammate wants to follow up on a status update, they can comment, ask a question, or even create a new task right from the conversation. #### How to use comments on project status updates We suggest that project owners update their project status weekly. To post a project status update: - Navigate to the Progress View of any project. - Select a status color—green, yellow, or red. - Describe any noteworthy events, milestones, or roadblocks that happened since your last update. You can even[link to relevant tasks](https://asana.com/guide/help/fundamentals/text), projects, conversations, or teammates. - Project members who are following status updates will get a notification in their Inbox and can comment on the status, just like with Project Conversations. - Status updates will appear in Progress View (as they always have) and now they will appear in the Conversations View too. ## Project status updates and project conversations: When to use which You might be thinking, “If project status updates are more like conversations now, then when should I use a status update versus a project conversation?” It isn’t an exact science, but we do have some guidelines that we’ve found helpful. **Update your project status:** - Weekly, to give an overview of recently completed work and what’s up next - When major milestones are hit - When roadblocks come up or things go off track - When plans or timelines change **Start a Project Conversation:** - To check in on how your team is feeling about the project - To brainstorm ideas that cross multiple tasks - To ask general questions about the project or solicit feedback #### And that’s a wrap on Polish Week! We hope you enjoy the latest (and final!) feature from Polish Week. Status updates are a powerful tool to give teammates and stakeholders a snapshot of progress and blockers. Now, your teammates are empowered to respond with questions, or just congratulate you on the great progress :) In case you missed them, read about all the other the features from this latest Polish Week: - [Get to know your teammates (Profile cards and more)](https://blog.asana.com/2016/02/polish-week-know-your-teammates/) - [Dashboard and search enhancements](https://blog.asana.com/2016/04/dashboard-sorting/) - [More updates (Attach files in Quick Add, project due date on calendar view, and more)](https://blog.asana.com/2016/04/more-updates-from-polish-week/) What’s your favorite new feature from Polish Week? - [Asana の最新情報: 2022年 8月号](/ja/inside-asana/whats-new-focus) 製品について 成果につながらない仕事を減らし、効率を高めるなら、Asana にお任せください。今月は、チームが時間を節約し、有意義なことに集中するための新機能が揃って登場しました。仕事中に気が散って困るという方は必見です。Asana の Google ドライブ連携なら、コメントを見落としません使えるツールはいくらでもある現代。その一方で複数のプラットフォームや文書、関係 ... - [Asana の最新情報: 2022年 4月号](/ja/inside-asana/whats-new-april) 製品について 今日の話題は、チームをさらにパワーアップする Asana の多彩な新機能。リクエストの受け付けプロセスの最適化やルーチン業務の自動化など、今月のアップグレードで Asana が特におすすめする機能をご紹介します。自動化を極める時間を節約したい方に朗報です。プロジェクトごとに設定できるルールの数が、20 からなんと 50 に大幅アップ。ルール化できる手作業が ... - [気が散らずに集中できる: 取り組みたい仕事に集中して注意を向けるための新機能をご紹介](/ja/inside-asana/personal-productivity-features) 製品について 現在のナレッジワーカーは、今までになく分散しています。また、集中力もさらに低下しています。実際、「仕事の解剖学」インデックスによると、80% の従業員が受信箱やコミュニケーションアプリを開いたまま仕事をしており、75% 近くが日中マルチタスクに追われていると感じていると答えています。その結果、個人の効率は低下し、重要なメッセージや締め切りを見逃す可能性が高 ... - [Asana のゴール機能を使って「見える化のピラミッド」を構築する方法](/ja/inside-asana/pyramid-of-clarity) 製品について #### コンテンツライター チームリーダーの最も重要な責任の一つは、組織の目標を支える仕事を正しく優先できるよう、チームメンバーを支援することです。とはいえ、言うは易し行うは難し。現実を見れば、チームは常に膨大な数のプロジェクトに同時並行で取り組んでいても、そのすべてが優先度が高く、インパクトのある仕事というわけではありません。では、優先度の低い細々した仕事を脇に置き、全員が限りある ... - [Project status updates now have comments](/ja/inside-asana/status-updates-have-comments) 製品について As the final feature of Polish Week, we’ve added commenting to project status updates.Project status updates help you communicate the state of a project.
