First Impressions, a few weeks in.
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to raise a new task and put a priority next to it. Have already improved by own organisation and starting to introduce other teammates to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having only use it for a couple of weeks, i'm yet to see anything I don't like, the layout is straightforward and easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have many different roles and tasks that occur on a daily basis, I am now being able to separate these out, prioritise them and set dates which allows me to see everything together in one list and see what needs to be actioned next. This means I am ensuring I do not forget small (but important) tasks and means I can clear my head of the task until it pops up next!

Asana - Excellent project and program management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
1) The ability to manage projects and programs with the ability to pull real time dashboards based on project tasks and fields that are fully customizable.
2) The collaboration in Asana and ability to create custom rules and templates are key drivers for us adopting and continuing to use Asana.
3) Very intuitive, user friendly and this helps to onboard new users and drive adoption of Asana.
4) Asana has allowed us to move away from homing project info accross multiple platforms to having one source of truth. This has allowed us to have more visibility on work being done and helped us become more effective and efficient in project and program management.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) For advanced insights into projects and programs, there is more that can be done.
Example 1: Doesn't allow for more complex numerical fields to be created unfortunately. For example, when rolling up hours spent accross a teams projects, we cannot add a calculation to calculate time spent per program or project manager. You can create formulas using fields and not custom inputs. There is an opportunity for this type of development to enhance the dashboards function.
2) Also sometimes there are minor functions that can be set up better.
Example 2: The date field is called "due date" even though you can add a start date in this field.
Also you are automatically directed to enter a due date and have to remember to click and add the start date as an additional step.
Overall the date field is not optimal which it should be as start dates are super important.
That being said, this is minor and can be worked with. Hope it can be improved in future.
Like any tool there is room for enhancement and improvements.

Collaboration, capacity planning, program and project management
Okay, but less robust than Monday.com
What do you like best about the product?
Free and intuative, a good beginner model
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enterprise enough, less robust than my needs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use M.com now, but Asansa is still good for collaborating in some instances, based on client preferences - not my account
I tell everyone to use Asana
What do you like best about the product?
As part of a small team that works remotely, creating workflows is crucial. Asana helps us stay organized and on track, and also helps if someone else needs to step in to take a project over the finish line in the case of another team member's absence. It's super easy to use and customize to our needs.
I tell all of my professional colleagues to use Asana.

What do you dislike about the product?
It definitely involves taking some time to learn the platform, and works best only when the entire team buys in and uses it. However, taking that time is totally worth it because it increases efficiency in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our remote staff collaborate efficiently and stay on task. By switching to Asana we've been able to eliminate all internal email communications, onboard new team members, and bring huge projects over the finish line that normally wouldn't be accomplished by a small staff.
