Effective Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great about allowing you to manage your own projects and managing up, since you can create tasks for anyone on your team. I'm not sure if that is a specific privilege granted by a system admin or if the software defaults to letting anyone on on the team assign a task to anyone else. But I really like the ability to set up a task for a co-worker after a discuss or email, to ensure follow-through. Asana also allows you to see completed tasks, which is great to have on hand before review season.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can sometimes find it a little confusing that when a person comments on a task directly in Asana, I am sent an email from the Asana address. But overall, I think that's pretty minor and doesn't reduce the usability or functionality of the platform. I wish Asana had a feature like the Nudge in Gmail, where it would tell you "You sent a message to your teammate about this assignment 5 days ago and haven't heard back. Want to follow-up?" Because people get busy, so it would be nice to have help remembering who I need to circle back with on projects in order to hit deadlines.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is better able to manage cross-responsibilities with Asana-- we are a small team of 4 people and Asana gives us the power to re-assign tasks as needed. That keeps everyone meeting deadlines and readjusting priorities as needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great free tool that is effective for improved project management. Try it for yourself and see.
A digital to-do list
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is useful for tracking work on shared projects through task management and project-based communications. The ability to assign work and associate conversations with it on a project and task level facilitates coordination amongst teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
The organizational structure of Asana can get unwieldy. With everything happening with a defined team, as the number of teams and projects grows finding things becomes more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana enables us to see the steps of a project and understand where we are at as a team relative to their completion. We are able to identify (and add) steps that have been overlooked, and anyone can identify areas that need additional attention if they are lagging behind the rest of the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be clear on whether you want people to use Asana as an individual productivity tool or a team collaboration tool. If it's the latter, you need to have broad adoption within the teams in which it is used.
Great organization tool

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to play around with it before just diving in.
Individuals Really Benefit
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can have a team and assign roles out. It's also great for individual record keeping and project organizing, all the info for each project is cataloged and has a clear deadline.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not always the most user friendly when trying to navigate the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When files aren't named correctly in the archive it's super easy to search the assignment on Asana and be able to find the file or what the file was named.
Versatile Project Management Application
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Kanban feature which I can easily share with colleagues and set different access levels (e.g., owner, member, can edit, etc). The Gantt chart and calendar features are also useful. Aside from that, if I am working on multiple projects, I can create a tracker using their new Portolio feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like how it is not very intuitive when it comes to design. Some non-tech savvy users may find it hard to navigate the subtasks, inbox, and attachments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Asana for tracking the onbarding of our new employees. It is also very useful in terms of collaborating with coworkers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the most out of Asana's features like kanban boards and portfolios.
Keeps everything organized
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to create project and track progress across multiple teams. It easily integrates with slack so I no longer have to receive a ton of emails.I also like how you can favorite projects. We have a large team of 25 people and the number of project can sometimes get out of control.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the inbox was a little easier to manage. It currently looks like a social media scrolling-esque news feed. I wish it looked more like gmail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
project management. projects usually include 4 different teams (digital, content, web design, ad images) and it's easy to keep it all organized.
Asana is great for dedicated tram project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana integrates with front and slack, making it extra easy to use. The level of organization is awesome and the girl submission for task requests feature is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don’t like about asana is that it’s not effective unless your team is fully committed to using it and using it right... which really isn’t asana’s fault at all! I’ve used it in an agency setting and it was seamless. At a different, less organized for projects organization, it didn’t fare well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of workload and providing project updates to upper management.
Program to improve the organization in your company
What do you like best about the product?
I really like this system because it offers me excellent functions that allow me to solve my basic needs in my business. To have a system like Asana has been vital for me because it allows me to evaluate and control all the management of the different projects that I have in progress. It also allows me to assign tasks to my work team by placing the respective delivery dates of each task.
This system allows you to know all its functions using your trial period, and take each of the projects with their respective teams.
It is great to be able to use this system because as it is based on the cloud, I can know how the management is being carried out in real time from wherever I am through your mobile application.
With this type of systems you can customize all forms and each of the functions, thus achieving that Asana adapts to the style of my company and its work rate.

What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment I have no complaints about this system. However, report to the technical assistance team certain anomalies that arise from Asana from time to time. Also ask them to adapt some functions necessary for the proper performance of my company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to this system allows me to manage not only the projects undertaken by my business, but also I can create and assign the members in each project, thanks to this I can save time and let my team be effective in the development of each one. the projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a versatile program to manage all your projects in an integral way. Asana is what your company will need, since you can work without being in your office. In case you have doubts about it, this software offers you its test time so you can go in order to get to know it more thoroughly.
Great for those who love checking off items on their list
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to add subtasks and (for premium users) dependencies are some of my favorite features of Asana because as a visual person, I love being able to see all the tasks associated with a project. Being able to assign and essentially order the process is helpful for things like employee onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I think I might like more features, like different visuals of a project, but for a basic project management template, it has what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently implementing a new HRIS and some of the onboarding features don't allow for what we need so we have been using Asana to keep track of all our checklists for onboarding, offboarding, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend the time setting it up how you want and try out the templates Asana has created. If you think about the process and what you need to accomplish and lay it out thoughtfully, Asana will definitely help you accomplish your projects and to-do lists.
