Project Management Essentials

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows our organization to manage and track interdepartmental project goals in an efficient way. Easy to use and access to live updated documents gives us real-time collaboration across multiple locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
An upgraded subscription is now needed to upload and edit documents and forms. This change has made is difficult to share project documents. I have recently had to submit a proposal request to our finance department to increase funding for this software, which has slowed down current projects being worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Asana we are able to track committee minutes and data, such as our Quality Improvement Committee, which allows us to access real-time numbers that help us improve our direct care.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A must have for companies or individuals who need to be organized and want to track projects among many teams. Begin with upgraded Premium Version for ability to upload, view and access shared documents.

Streamline Your Workflow, Integrate Teams

  • May 28, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Multiple teams can easily coordinate around one task. Also, you can have a dancing unicorn fly across your screen when you complete a task. Who doesn't want a celebratory unicorn multiple times a day?
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that they could better is roll out task-based templates. Right now, only projects can have templates, but we had tasks, like coordinating a mailing, where the mailing was the main task and there were various subtasks. It would have been nice to have a the task and its subtasks in a template. Asana worked really well for us. We had four teams at a non-profit coordinating projects with Asana. It was an amazing tool. We purchased the premium when we got too big for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana allowed me to easily manage my workload and ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. It was easy to organize my day, and it really allowed me to tackle those to-dos that always seem to get put off for more enjoyable/easy items. It's easy to track projects where multiple parties are involved and know how they are tracking. It's easy to see history discussion around tasks and manage it right in Asana, no need to email.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start small, with one or two teams and one or two projects, then add others as you get the hang of the product.

Asana is my task management bible!

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use as well as the customization that you can do for your own Asana within you companies shared projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to be able to lock areas of team projects that others can view but are unable to edit to make sure that the layout and order are not messed with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily and project task management are the key uses of Asana for me and my business. We can collaborate on tasks but then have our own views and independent task lists. The benefit of assigning tasks to others, using the chat feature to stay out of emails and keep everything in one place is of great benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is as good as the time you put into it. You have to be diligent in putting the work into tracking and managing your projects and tasks. If you don't consistently enter your details then it'll be an additional step of work that won't make you feel like it's working for you but just more work.

Wooo-Asana

  • May 27, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ever wondered what it was like to see a unicorn shoot across your screen? You'll love the sight even more after you've finished a task within a project or completed a section of a project!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like for there to be the ability to edit the entire template, and delete multiple tasks at once. Especially since the templates have multiple tasks with details that aren't really needed...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication throughout the team. Some seem to enjoy starting things, dreaming up processes, and not following through. No more! We've got templates, we've got processes and tasks flowing like gold!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dive into getting to know the features and how to use the templates before diving in. Make sure the person recommending the software at least has a little bit of knowledge about implementing software and rolling out a new tool to a team-- that helps a lot. There is a feature that I noticed today, you can leverage the team at Asana to create workflows and such for you! I might consider that in the future, its worth exploring- especially with a budget strict project.

What do you like best about the product?
Provides me with an easy to edit checklist, that can be broken into categories that helps keep things organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally Asana logs out and I have to log back in. Not a huge deal, just a minor inconvenience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sometimes I will edit the wrong task. Is there an "undo" option? Could we get something that helps us undo mistakes?

Astounding, incredible and basic, the hierarchical dream of each group.

What do you like best about the product?
I have checked on local uses of huge names of the market, that don't complete the process of persuading you, they offer you numerous guarantees in functionalities that don't wrap up, that is something that I like the vast majority of Asana, it offers you lucidity from the principal minute, and It gives you in the meantime, a straightforward interface, exceptionally incredible and ready to get any group to work with the aggregate work and shared objectives. What's more, I like that all associates can see in advanced each improvement and accomplishment accomplished of their alloted obligations. Likewise, it has enabled us to be increasingly sorted out with the gatherings and prerequisites of our customers. As the arranging can't be inflexible, because of Asana we have recognized angles that can put in danger the worldwide objectives of the organization, so we have figured out how to help the division that introduces some trouble. As a matter of fact, Asana gives you the full view, it's a virtuoso.
What do you dislike about the product?
Business people can discover in Asana a total stage and truly fit for developing any activity, that is the reason I don't distinguish pessimistic angles to make reference to, I have long stretches of utilization and it is magnificent the capacity they need to rehash themselves in the arrangement of an administration that It looks a great deal like wine, it improves with the progression of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having computerized stages, with staff in various pieces of the world, it is hard to gather all the work that must be done in one spot, since we use Asana as the fundamental authoritative component, we figured out how to lessen mistakes in consideration by half of the clients and we increment the profitability of the organization's specializations. It has a great deal to do with the manner by which we have figured out how to distinguish basic hubs and bolster them among different territories progressed in their objectives. Likewise, we have gotten from our clients a positive appraisal of their necessities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An exceptionally valuable - perhaps important - instrument for occupied work environments. Nice looking UI and shading plan, clear records however not all that reasonable Project Views - not generally excellent for visual individuals. Irritating notices - however perhaps I should simply attempt and decrease the quantity of simultaneous undertakings!

Great Collaboration and PM Tool!

  • May 24, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Extremely user friendly and clean UI. As a first-time user, Asana is very natural to navigate and create/track projects amongst multiple team members. It's been great for project planning, project tracking, and creating accountability around the team.

Set up is very easy and ramp up period was minimal with 0 pain.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many complaints about Asana. As I only use the basic version, It would be great if there was a live-chat component to collaborate with more team members. Currently, we chat outside of the app via g-chat or slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving strong collaboration and multi-project tracking issue in our organization. Asana has brought shared accountability, ease of use, and clear direction of project flow to our internal team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana has been a great service and tool for our team. As a first time user, I found the UX very intuitive and easy to ramp across multiple team members. I love the ability to assign different tasks to different users and swiftly navigate through multiple projects at ease.

CONS: As I’ve used this tool for less than 1 year, t I still find difficult to keep track of subtasks and we don’t know how to move “lifestages” without moving the whole project to the next phase.

It would be great if there was an internal communication system to collaborate in project/app.

Beyond that, I'm not overly familiar beyond the paid functionality, but would recommend for projects both large and small.
