# Glossary * ready: See tasks.rb#task_ready?. Indicates a task is ready for a person to work on it. This is subtly different than what is used by Asana to mark a date as red/green! A task is ready if it is not dependent on an incomplete task and one of these is true: * start is null and due on is today * start is null and due at is before now * start on is today * start at is before now A project is ready if there is no start date, or if the start date is today or in the past.
