How can a manager be notified of late task completions?

Setting an automation to notify when an item marked "done" exceeds the deadline is an effective way for a manager to stay informed about late task completions. This method leverages the built-in automation features of Monday.com, allowing for real-time notifications without the need for manual follow-up.

When an automation is triggered, it can send alerts directly to the manager, highlighting overdue items instantly. This automated approach ensures that the manager is promptly informed about any delays, enabling quick decision-making to address any potential issues before they escalate.

Other methods such as reviewing weekly reports or communicating directly with team members can be effective, but they may not provide immediate awareness of deadlines that have been missed. Relying on team comments may lead to information being overlooked or buried within discussions, which can result in significant delays in addressing overdue tasks. Therefore, using automation specifically designed for tracking deadlines is the most proactive and efficient solution for notifying managers about late task completions.
