Asana helps me organize projects and make lists
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can share lists with team members and make comments and notes about each task. It is also helpful to assign tasks to different people, it makes it easy to work with a team. I like how I can separate and colour code my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the way the side bar is designed, it makes it difficult to find projects. I also found the free version very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with others on projects in an organized manner. It is easy to share and invite others to join. I like using the app that helps me stay organized when I am away from my desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Asana to anyone wanting to better organize their projects. I like that there is an app that you can use on the go. And it is good for collaborating with others.
Works great for task management but needs updating
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how easy Asana is to use to track your progress with the project. My team and I are able to see how far we are from completion.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were times I would forget to sign in so I wish there was a better notification system. Some of the features are outdated and need to have better functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to track instructional design progress with Quality Matters courses.
Great Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
I need to have all of my tasks written out or I might forget asana helps me categorize and list all my needs and due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier to include a team so we could all use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My role is a mixture of case management and admin and HR. Lots of different tasks but all need to be completed. I’m way more on top of it with Asana.
Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for my team to manage our project tasks and to ensure all the communication we have is all in one spot. I like the assigning tasks function and the option to control what notifications you receive from the app.
What do you dislike about the product?
For myself, it was easy to navigate my way around, but for some of my team who aren't that savvy, they had trouble knowing where to start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we've removed the dreaded reply-all email thread, we stay on top of our projects and deadlines and we are able to see where everyone else is on their tasks.
Great tool for tracking projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is straightforward to set up a project and track milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have issues with the permissions in Asana. For instance I will click through a link and be told I don’t have access to view the content...but I have no way of requesting access to it or seeing what exactly I don’t have access to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project tracking, collaboration, milestone setting, task assignment.
Asana makes project management easy for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
It’s so easy to create tasks and subtasks in Asana. Developing scrums and using agile project management is much easier than before. I really love that everyone can drag and drop different documents and collaborate in one space. It's also really helpful to see everything in the calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some areas like Gantt charting that aren't quite as easy as they are with other systems. I also dislike how difficult it can be to search for specific tasks. For example, if you don't search for the exact task name, it can take forever to find what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re solving a lack of organization. For the most part, things are no longer slipping through the cracks. Additionally, the product is helping with accountability. We can easily tag and mention various members of our team when they need to have eyes on specific projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering Asana, just make the switch. It'll be easy for all of your company to use – including those who are typically less responsive and/or tech-savvy.
Good for to-do lists and tracking tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Good for to-do lists and tracking tasks if that's how you like to get organized (but not super great for project collaboration).
What do you dislike about the product?
Not great for collaborating on projects because there's no way to comment on actual content itself, just brief checklists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task tracking, to-do lists.
Lots of features for a busy team.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that everything my team has going on gets recorded in this software. It gets really stressful wondering where a project is, or if I assigned it, or if the person got the assignment - with Asana and everyone going to the same place to collaborate, nothing gets missed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve how everyone should use it can get a little confusing. It would be great to have several tutorials on how to best organize work assignments within Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Confusion around assignments and project status are greatly reduced because of using Asana with my team. The fact that I can not only assign projects and tasks, but also maintain a dialogue with everyone involved in that project helps a lot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to simplify and de-stress your project management with multiple employees/IC's, then Asana is a great place to start.
Fantastic program management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a great tool for tracking projects, especially with teams. Individually, I use it as a robust task list, with specific projects and task headers to stay on target. As a team, we use it to check in about projects, share status updates, pull in others we need input from, and queue other tasks once a task is completed. This will be my third organization I got to set up Asana, and it saves our team so much time and capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the help desk challenging, as it often takes days or weeks to respond. Sometimes I miss the response email and don't see that a response has come through until I log in to submit another query.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prevent unnecessary emails and important project-related information getting lost in various communication channels, stay on track of my own projects and others where my input is needed, avoid forgetting important deadlines, projects and strategic initiatives.
Significantly improved product
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to track all my projects, goals, and tasks in a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used Asana many years ago, and wasn't thrilled. However, I gave it another chance and significant improvements have been made. I can now add sub tasks and documents to the projects. My goals are in there and they are trackable. However, I'd really like to be able to search for other related items in an easier way for cross team collaboration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management for complex projects.
