Settle workflow ownership before the renewal committee meets

You’re the customer success / solutions lead. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 21, 2026.

Approval continuity is pulling against the customer’s access-control boundary.

Operations needs critical approvals moving again, while security needs ownership reassigned without preserving obsolete access.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My launch leads keep asking where approvals went, and I’m back chasing people in Slack.”

Haruka Song · Enterprise Project Manager

Runs a portfolio of regional launch projects that depend on approvals arriving through shared workflows.

What is at stake

Approval workflows across 240 customer projects are paused after owners changed roles. You must weigh immediate delivery continuity against an access decision the customer cannot casually undo.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • approval continuity vs access control
  • renewal urgency vs audit readiness
  • project visibility vs manual workarounds
  • customer confidence vs incomplete evidence

Why Asana

Asana approval workflows sit inside the customer’s cross-functional delivery process, so paused ownership turns a permissions change into missed work.
