Sentiment as a Signal: Predicting Project Slippage via Narrative Analysis
Traditional project management focuses on *dates*. "Is the task checked off by Friday?" But by the time a deadline is missed, the damage is already done. The true health of a project is hidden in the **narrative**—the tone and frequency of the comments being exchanged by the team.

2asana’s intelligence layer performs continuous **Tactical Sentiment Analysis**. It doesn't just track if work is happening; it tracks how the team feels about that work.
