project tab organization

Effortless Task Management, Instant Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy Asana is to use and how easy collaboration is. Being able to transfer tasks from one person to another seamlessly within the app is just incredible. You don't have to remember who was going to do what or by when; you can put it all in the app, and it's just taken care of for you. The initial setup was very easy, with almost no setup required. I use it with Slack and Gmail. If there were two things in life that I could sell, it would be Apple products and Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure what the limitations on this are, but I do think it would be nice sometimes if more than one user could be assigned to a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage our accounting projects and tasks. It's easy to use, makes collaboration simple, and allows seamless task transfers. I don't have to remember who does what or when—it's all in the app, making our workflow efficient.
Effortless Setup, Brightens Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, I really like the little unicorns or characters that go across the screen once I complete a task. It's a fun touch. I also appreciate how easy it is to list tasks and share them with the team. Setting up Asana was super easy, and having the templates set up is really helpful for keeping things updated or copying them over for new projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably the levels of the different subscriptions. I'm not sure if we can filter all of my projects into a calendar. Up to one calendar that shows everything that's going on in one place. I haven't seen that happen because we don't have the access to all the dashboards. I didn't like the integration into Google Calendar, but that's where I would want to use it the most.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps me manage multiple partnerships simultaneously, keeping track of everything for partners at different stages of implementation and ongoing relationships.
Simplifies Task Management with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Asana for its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to communicate tasks with my coworkers and organize my personal tasks. It's fantastic for creating projects and assigning tasks to different departments like marketing or the events team, allowing everyone to track tasks and manage due dates. The way it helps to visualize task priorities with different colors and letters is really beneficial. I appreciate the ease of collaboration, being able to tag colleagues for notifications, and managing events efficiently. The comprehensive feature set, including assigning tasks, creating deadlines, and status updates, simplifies workflow and task management. I also enjoy the easy integration with Google Calendar, making it simpler to track deadlines and important dates. A couple of training videos were enough to get me comfortable with Asana, and the setup was quick and straightforward. Overall, it provides everything on one platform for effective communication and organization across departments. I would definitely rate Asana a 10 for recommendation to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
So we are using the free version. I think, if we upgrade it, we would definitely see more benefits. But creating portfolios is something that is not working out currently. We have been just creating projects and assigning tasks to people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to communicate tasks with coworkers, organize personal tasks, and manage events. It simplifies workflow, helps assign tasks with due dates, and centralizes communication for finance and HR, making everything easier in one platform.
Simplicity with Robust Features and User-Friendly Design
What do you like best about the product?
Asana strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and powerful functionality, making it an exceptional tool for tracking transactions, managing team communication, and building automated checklists. The automated date-driven reminders are invaluable for ensuring strict deadlines are never missed. It provides crystal-clear visibility into team responsibilities and due dates, which is essential when coordinating operations remotely. Despite having all the advanced rules and tracking systems I need to manage complex pipelines, the platform remains incredibly intuitive and user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
One significant limitation is the inability of its native rules to calculate relative dates. For example, if I set a primary due date, I would love the ability to tell Asana to automatically generate a subtask with a deadline exactly 3 days before or after that main date. Currently, Asana struggles with dynamically counting days and automatically updating subtask deadlines if the parent task's date changes. To achieve this level of date automation, I currently have to rely on third-party integrations like Zapier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana solves the challenge of keeping complex transactions organized and transparent. By centralizing our tracking, communication, and checklists into one platform, it eliminates the risk of missing critical deadlines. The automations and date-driven reminders ensure that nothing falls through the cracks, while clearly defining exactly who is in charge of each step and when it is due. Ultimately, it benefits me by providing complete visibility and accountability across our entire pipeline.
Effortless Organization, Highly Recommended
What do you like best about the product?
I use Asana for work in real estate to keep track of all our transactions and everything we do. I appreciate having everything in one place and find it easy to use. I like how effective Asana is for building systems and keeping track without any crashes. It's great overall, with no complaints or issues, and I find the updates helpful. The initial setup was very easy, making it a seamless experience for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to track all transactions in real estate. It keeps everything in one place, it's easy to use, and helps build systems efficiently without crashes or problematic updates.
Transformative for Clarity and Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Asana's user interface and the ability to see whatever level of detail I feel like. Multihoming is a standout feature for me, as well as the global custom fields and project-level automation rather than globally. I appreciate the customizability of the My Tasks page and that each task can only have one assignee, which brings clarity to who is responsible for what by when—it essentially serves as a built-in RACI chart. All of these features help bring clarity to our work. Asana, when set up correctly, forces you to define work and allows you to track the same work across multiple projects without duplication. It's the best tool on the market from both the administrator's standpoint and the end-user. It makes the implementation process easy because the tool can scale with the team and can be understood by a novice user but also handles just about anything an advanced user can throw at it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of their interface updates cause work disruptions as they take away features that are useful in an attempt to streamline, but actually make things take more time/clicks. Also the ability to filter a calendar view based on a date custom field would be incredible. Additionally a condition in their rule builder that checks if any subtasks have been completed would be helpful. Also media approval features could use some work. Other than that the tool is near perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps with organization, operational efficiency, dependency management, productivity analysis, reporting, communication, meetings, work intake, and managing publications and time off calendars.
Perfect for Team Task Management and Automation
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the UI of Asana. I've used multiple other systems, and I think the user experience is unique and very easy to follow. It's also a very robust platform that's perfect for project management. It's refreshing compared to other systems that I've used, where it's either one or the other.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how you're limited to certain add-on features within tiers. There's a lot within the enterprise that I wish was more available in advance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana keeps our tasks organized and properly assigned. We can set automations for seamless task progression, and clients can see project status. It helps the team stay on task using 'My Tasks'.
Easily Manage Projects with Custom Views and Relevant Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Manage projects easily by building views containing projects and tasks relevant to you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't autosave comments if you forget to hit enter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I support so many projects and Asana helps me keep visibility of all tasks requiring my attention. It keeps all projects/tasks organized so I can view daily and track progress.
Essential for Remote Team Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
I find multi-homing projects to multiple boards very helpful for managing multiple work teams across our fully remote setup. The templates and dynamic fields ensure consistent formatting, and the high-level dashboards are great for providing visibility into progress. These features allow our team to collaborate across multiple projects simultaneously, with each domain expert owning their workflow. The team dashboard helps us track project and goal progress at a high level, which is incredibly useful to share with leadership. We've connected our Asana instance with Claude Desktop, which has unlocked a lot of productivity for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Requires team training and enablement to work effectively. Not intuitive for everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana for coordinating projects with multiple team members, keeping on top of deadlines, and monitoring bandwidth. It's helpful for managing multiple work teams across a remote setup and provides visibility into progress with dashboards.
