Favorite project & workflow software I have used!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has been life changing for me, as I’ve attempted to tackle so many projects with countless moving parts. Between the mobile app, and the online desktop version, Asana is extremely easy-to-use, intuitive, and well thought out. The pretty UI doesn’t hurt either! I also love the different views Asana provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I absolutely love Asana and am a huge advocate for it, I don’t like how you cannot change “views” (list view / card view) after the project has already been created. Sometimes, it isn’t until managing a project intensively until you realize you’d rather have another view, in which you must create an entire new project. Additionally, it would be nice to have additional task owners, instead of collaborators who may/may not be notified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has allowed me to prioritize to the very best of my ability. It is extremely flexible, and feature-rich. By focusing on solely my tasks I’ve been tracking within this platform, I have found that my workload becomes much more manageable, and allows me to focus on what the most crucial deliverable is that day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free version out to learn if you like it first! Some workflows can become too complex for Asana to handle — but it’s absolutely worth it if it works for your team!
Great for project management
What do you like best about the product?
I love Asana! This is a great tool for project management. There are different views - calendar (so you can look at a project from start to finish) and a project board (so you can look at individual tasks with details). Each task can be linked to other projects or other tasks. You can even generate sub-tasks assigned to other users with their own full task cards. The software is very intuitive and easy to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can't think of anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this for all our tasks/projects in the organization. Our field reps can easily submit tasks to the administrative pool with relevant documents/photos/etc. This keeps all the task/project information in one location and users associated with the task/project are able to track its progress. Since so many of our staff work remotely, this software is a huge help to keep us all organized and on the same page!
Great way to stay organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps our company stay organized. I love that you can copy checklists from one task to another. This has allowed us to replicate our process for each client. I also love how easy it is to assign subtasks to different members of our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
My dislike is minor. I wish there was more customization available in the Asana platform, such as different backgrounds, etc. Again, very minor, but I like to personalize things I use on a daily basis to me/my company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana has made it easier for our company to stay organized. Within our company, this has been a difficult process for us, but Asana has certainly streamlined our organization and task management process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an easy, straightforward way to manage tasks with multiple users. It is a great way to stay organized within your entire organization!
Project Management Essentials
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
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.
Couldn't survive without it!
What do you like best about the product?
Eason of use, index card view, sharing files and notes - best software for projects period.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! It is better than any of the others I have used before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects with people in multiple locations, sharing files. Accountability for everyone knows where things are at all times. No more "I never got it."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it! It's free to start so you can get used to it.
Wooo-Asana
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.
Easy-Peazy with Asana
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?
Asana is very user friendly and great for organizing
What do you like best about the product?
it's shareable, the ease of use, the way it's laid out and organized on your screen. The simplicity of everything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I've experienced so far with this tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The organizing of projects and to do list every day.
