multi-tiered Asana portfolios that enforce dependency logic and cross-project rollups without
creating data silos, Design rule-based automations that maintain data integrity across custom
fields, approvals, and third-party integrations, Diagnose and remediate performance, permission
and and reporting failures in large-scale Asana deployments. Every item follows the wording style
and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so
the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions
that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who
revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of
meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper
into a comfortable pass.

,Q1 ARCHITECT MULTI-TIERED ASANA PORTFOLIOS THAT ENFORCE DEPENDENCY LOGIC
AND CROSS-PROJECT ROLLUPS WITHOUT CREATING DATA SILOS
A program manager needs a single view showing all tasks from three projects that
share a custom field 'Client Tier' but have different section structures. Which
Asana feature should be used to consolidate tasks while preserving the ability to
filter by 'Client Tier'?
A. Create a portfolio with the three projects and add a 'Client Tier' column.
B. Use advanced search with project filter and custom field filter, then save as a report.
CORRECT
C. Create a new project and multi-home all tasks from the three projects.
D. Use a dashboard with a chart widget filtered by 'Client Tier'.
RATIONALE: Advanced search allows cross-project filtering by custom fields and saving as a
report, preserving original project structures. Portfolios aggregate project-level data, not
task-level details. Multi-homing duplicates tasks and can cause maintenance issues. Dashboards
visualize aggregates, not individual task lists.
Q2 ARCHITECT MULTI-TIERED ASANA PORTFOLIOS THAT ENFORCE DEPENDENCY LOGIC
AND CROSS-PROJECT ROLLUPS WITHOUT CREATING DATA SILOS
An automation rule is set to trigger when a task is moved to a section, but it fails
to run for tasks created via a third-party integration. What is the most likely cause?
A. The rule is scoped to a specific project and the integration creates tasks in a different project.
CORRECT
B. The integration does not have permission to trigger rules.
C. Rules only trigger for tasks created manually in the Asana UI.
D. The rule's trigger condition requires a custom field value that is not set by the integration.
RATIONALE: Rules are project-scoped; if the integration creates tasks in another project, the rule
won't fire. Integrations can trigger rules if they modify tasks in the rule's project. Rules are not
limited to manually created tasks. While missing custom fields can block conditions, the primary
issue is project scope.

AND CROSS-PROJECT ROLLUPS WITHOUT CREATING DATA SILOS
In a portfolio, the 'Status' of a project is updated automatically based on task
completion. However, the portfolio shows 'Off Track' for a project that is 90%
complete. Which configuration error is most likely?
A. The project's status is manually set and overrides automatic updates.
B. The portfolio's status update is based on a custom field that is not updated.
C. The project's tasks are not all assigned, so completion percentage is miscalculated.
D. The portfolio's progress calculation excludes subtasks, skewing the percentage. CORRECT
RATIONALE: By default, portfolio progress may exclude subtasks, so if the remaining 10% are
subtasks, the project appears less complete. Manual status overrides would show a fixed status,
not 'Off Track' based on completion. Custom fields are not used for automatic status unless
configured. Unassigned tasks do not affect completion percentage.
Q4 ARCHITECT MULTI-TIERED ASANA PORTFOLIOS THAT ENFORCE DEPENDENCY LOGIC
AND CROSS-PROJECT ROLLUPS WITHOUT CREATING DATA SILOS
A team uses a custom field 'Priority' with options P0-P3. They want to
automatically assign tasks with P0 to the on-call engineer and set due date to
today. Which combination of Asana features achieves this with minimal manual
intervention?
A. Rule: When Priority is set to P0, assign to on-call engineer and set due date to today.
CORRECT
B. Task template with pre-filled assignee and due date, applied manually.
C. Advanced search for P0 tasks, then bulk edit assignee and due date.
D. Integration with a third-party tool to assign and set due date.
RATIONALE: Rules can trigger on custom field changes and perform actions like assignment and
due date setting. Templates require manual application. Bulk edit is manual. Third-party
integration is unnecessary and adds complexity.

AND CROSS-PROJECT ROLLUPS WITHOUT CREATING DATA SILOS
A dashboard widget shows 'Tasks by Section' but the data is stale. The dashboard
is set to refresh daily. What is the most likely reason for the stale data?
A. The dashboard is filtered to a project that no longer exists.
B. The widget's data source is a saved search that hasn't been re-run.
C. The dashboard refresh setting applies only to the viewer, not the data.
D. The project's tasks were moved to another project after the last refresh. CORRECT
RATIONALE: Dashboard widgets reflect current data when refreshed; if tasks were moved, the
widget may not update until refresh. A missing project would show an error. Saved searches
update automatically. Refresh setting applies to data, not viewer.
Q6 ARCHITECT MULTI-TIERED ASANA PORTFOLIOS THAT ENFORCE DEPENDENCY LOGIC
AND CROSS-PROJECT ROLLUPS WITHOUT CREATING DATA SILOS
When designing a workflow for a creative team, which approach best ensures that
tasks cannot be marked complete until a review approval is granted?
A. Use a rule: When task is moved to 'Done', check if approval custom field is 'Approved'; if not,
move back. CORRECT
B. Add a dependency on a review task and set the completion to require dependencies.
C. Use a custom field 'Approval Status' and manually verify before completing.
D. Create a section 'Pending Approval' and restrict task completion to admins.
RATIONALE: Rules can enforce conditions on status changes, preventing completion without
approval. Dependencies don't block completion unless configured. Manual verification is
error-prone. Section restrictions don't prevent completion.
