Summary
Calendar view shows the tasks in an Asana project on a month grid, placed on their due dates. It helps you see what is due when, spot busy days, and plan work without scanning a list.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open the Calendar view
Open your project from the sidebar, then select the **Calendar** tab next to List, Board, Timeline, and Dashboard. The project switches from rows to a month grid.
Step 2
Move to the next month
Select **Next month** in the calendar toolbar to look ahead. **Previous month** sits on the other side of the month name if you need to look back.
Step 3
Jump back to today
Select **Today** to return to the current date after browsing other months. You do not need to click back one month at a time.
Step 4
Switch between week and month view
The **Months** control in the toolbar sets how much time the grid shows. Use it when you want a wider view of the month or a closer look at a smaller range.
Step 5
Spot a task by its due date
Each task with a due date appears on its day in the grid, such as **Escalate blocking issue**. Tasks that span several days stretch across them, so you can see how long they run.
Step 6
Add a task on a date
Point at a day to find **Add task** in that cell. Use it to create a task for that day, so it lands on the calendar with its due date already in place.
Step 7
Narrow the calendar with filters
Use **Filter** in the toolbar to cut down what the calendar shows. This helps when a busy month makes it hard to find the tasks you care about.
Why this matters
You are planning a busy week and a list of due dates does not show where work piles up. Calendar view puts every dated task on a grid, so you can see crowded days and spread work out before deadlines slip.
