Project management extremely useful.
What do you like best about the product?
One of the things that I like about Asana is the possibility of creating tasks for 'Projects'. what allows me, instead of making a random list of things that I must do and schedule them with due dates, I can create projects full of tasks necessary to complete those projects and follow them up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can only say that I do not like the limit of projects for team calendar. There is work around, but it becomes cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is beneficial to use Asana because it keeps me on track, because it allows me to collaborate on projects and states to keep everyone updated. For now, I personally enjoy the user interface and the ability to keep track of all tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a very good and easy to adapt tool with which you can maintain and establish an order of all your projects and tasks assigned in your workplace.
Team working tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like about Asana is that with basic knowledge you can use it. It has very attractive interface. The timeline of Asana gives you the opportunity to monitor the other members of team and the progress of the task or the project. Managing tasks, assigning them to team members, scheduling them and etc, is very easy and comfortable with Asana. Mobile application serves you to be in touch with your and your team members current tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I do not like about Asana is emails. I receive email every time, someone does some little manipulations with the tasks that i am involved in, and I also get emails from the manipulations i do. That is boring and I think it should be balanced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me and my team with tasks management, with a lot of tasks we have life is easier with Asana. I cans assign new tasks, monitor old ones and be in touch with currents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend it to teams, which have to work on many tasks at same time, Asana will help tthem to organize tasks and monitor them.
Great for agile teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to communicate with teams using just Asana, no e-mail involved. Delegate tasks and mark dependencies. Squats are working well on sprints and each PO have your backlog well organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use templates a lot and forms are not imported.
Portfolios still need improvements, we have a lot of needs concerned to view how different projects and squads are integrated and need more detail in status report.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have now a same process development to follow. All squads must use Asana in the same way in order to show the reports the right way.
The Perfect Tool for Making Organization & Communication Easy
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is very intuitive! As a project coordinator, I pretty much live on the program, but I find that other employees in our company have had much success in areas like productivity and communication because the system is easy to navigate. Implementing a new communication tool across the company seems like a very daunting task, but our company has taken a liking to Asana, which is a huge attest to the system's usability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our Project Management Office uses Asana every day. There are about 5-10 employees who would greatly benefit from Asana Business, however, all other employees do not need it. It would ideal if there was a payment option for a portion of our users to upgrade to the higher version with Portfolios and Workload. We cannot justify upgrading our entire plan, as such a small number of employees would fully utilize the higher end features.
If subtasks could be shown in the main project screen (instead of clicking into tasks to see them) that would be AMAZING! I find I often lose sight of subtasks because I can't have the overarching view of the project in its entirety. A subtask collabsable option would be super beneficial!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication - we're still working on completely shifting in this area, but we now have the ability to say "just look in the Asana task, all the info you need can be found there" instead of sending 10+ emails back and forth
Productivity - Instead of handwriting my to-do list each morning, I know what I need to do and by when. Asana ensures that tasks will be followed up and nothing gets lost in the cracks of miscommunication, making more time for us to the do the work instead of communicating about the work
Organization - We are way better organized! All associated info items, documents, and tasks can be found in one place. It's nice to only have to look in one place instead of 3-4.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This system takes away the rigor of managing tasks and to-dos. The system is very intuitive, allowing people with no project management experience to excel at efficiency. We have an ongoing saying around our office, #AsanaSavesLives
Asana for Non Profits
What do you like best about the product?
Fairly simple UI that makes project management simple to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still feels like its fairly early in development cycle and the community isn't huge yet,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of use is pretty high and there is a good online academy with training videos. For a non profit with a wide range of users comfort levels on computers this is a big deal. It's a huge step up from no PM software. And is easier for most my end users to grasp then something like Microsoft Project while still not being super expensive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For ease of use and simple implementation is excellent. Very simple for end users to understand. Customization is still a bit of a work in progress.
Asana saves lives!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy and aesthetically pleasing the software is. The best function I use every day is the timeline view in order to track where my project is at based on the date.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few formal project management tools that are missing like easily creating work breakdown structures to schedule appropriately. As well as switching the view from board to list and vice versa.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has immensely increased communication between all of our business units. Specifically, it has streamlined all of our product launches throughout the year, which in turn increased communication!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More formal project management tools such as the ability to create work breakdown structures for scheduling. Ease of switching between project views. Also, time tracking/schedule capabilities
Flexibility and constant improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is really intuitive and easy to use, it can adapt to many different workflows and makes project communication simple. It helps to centralize communication and manage tasks in a much more efficient way. Tasks and project views can be used beyond project management, I find it especially useful to run meetings as well as to create any type of request to get help from other teams.
Asana is constantly updating its functionality and overall UX. You can really see the software improve over time. I am especially excited about all the AI features they are planning to include.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since the software is so flexible, open and transparent, everyone in the organization needs to use it properly in order for it to be really functional. If you do not keep it under control, it can quickly turn into chaos that makes project management even harder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Up until now, Asana has been extremely useful to keep project communication, fluent and centralized. It has made our daily task management way more efficient and it has allowed increasing collaboration among different teams.
Continues to improve
What do you like best about the product?
I'm an executive assistant and manage projects for my C-Suite executives. I work across departments and teams to manage the projects so having a central location for everything is so valuable. I can tell people to upload documents to the projects or to post their comments on the project. It allows my execs to see what is happening in real-time and cuts down on the need for extra meetings to catch them up on progress. I have been using Asana since 2013 and have carried it with me to the 3 different jobs I have had in that time. Jobs may change I'm sticking with Asana! :)
What do you dislike about the product?
The least helpful feature is that their system does not allow for alias emails. So we are having to do a workaround on emailing items into Asana etc. I'll admit there are times that it is VERY irritating, but not enough to make me leave Asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do all my project management in Asana. I love that I can look at the Admin Console and know who else is using it org-wide, I can manage the workload of the people I have in my projects and I can see where the stalls are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana gives you the ability to manage numerous projects in one location and has an easy onboarding process for new organizations.
My journey with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
The thing I enjoy the most about Asana is that it helps me to collect everything into one channel instead of constantly spend time opening new tabs, looking for that Google doc, emailing people about deadlines, etc. In modern society, we have such an overload of opportunities and even though it's great to take advantage of flexibility when it comes to project management, I feel the cost of losing time is too high of a price to pay. Hence, I am opting for Asana.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I would really love to have is making Asana more friendly for conducting workshops. Since sustainability is a very important topic for our team, I would love to move away from classic ''white board & post-it" scenario to something that would allow to Vote (with polls) on topics, timebox specific tasks and facilitate the overall workshop. I am currently doing this with workaround solutions, but i would love to see some innovation to help streamline different workshop stages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personally, for me Asana helps to solve the problem of the well-known phenomenon ''scattered brain''. Instead of having a notebook, Google Doc for Jour Fixes with various stakeholders, Google Drive for workshop materials and outcomes, Apple Notes for random thoughts during a brainstorm etc. - I can combine it all into one place. It also makes aligning on timeline and deliverables easier, since it allows me to tag people under respective tasks and follow up with PICs directly there instead of reaching out to other medium (email, chat, Slack etc).
Great tool for project managers
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Asana is design of its interface. It is very intuitive and it makes people comfortable to work with Asana, even if they are not tech persons. Asana can be customized and it is very comfortable too. Integration with outlook makes working rout easy and notifications become smarter. having option of sub tasks is huge advantage. Setting up project is very simple, attaching files to it, setting up team who will work on the project, has a great mobile application and etc, everything these makes Asana great project management tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like almost everything about Asana, but it would be better if communication module gave one an opportunity of video and audio calls, it would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it for project managing, and it helps me to monitor the tasks and the members of the team, who is working on which task, manage the time, give new tasks and etc. It is helpful in everyday work life.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Will recommend this application to people who need their tasks and projects done in time, who needs to know how the project is going and needs a good helper with the project.
