Great application
What do you like best about the product?
I like the kanban board functionality. I also like the ability to see where my co-workers are within a task.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the look of the application. I think that it's time for a new theme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to create tasks for projects and deadlines for those tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend it to other Scrum teams that are searching for a better way to organize tasks.
best project management tool I've used, but hard to get buy-in
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is complicated without being confusing. There are projects, cards, tasks or to-do items. You assign who is part of what, due dates, you can comment, attach things, leave notes. It's superior to Basecamp and Trello, by miles.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle to get non-project-based folks to use it. Software, marketing? Sure. Sales? Nope. Then again, salespeople resist structure of all kinds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to track longer-term projects with multiple deadlines and deliverables. It has reduced stress by bringing to-do items onto the screen vs living in my head or a spreadsheet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would look at how complex your projects really are - if it's just to-do lists you want to track, use Todoist.
Asana - One of the best PM tools
What do you like best about the product?
We used Asana with several clients. It provides a good way to manage projects, tasks, and subtasks. It's easy to assign tasks to team members, set due dates as well as provide necessary information fairly easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
We did not have much trouble with using Asana. We were able to execute some of the most difficult projects successfully using Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our stakeholders were remote. Communication and collaborating across tasks was paramount to this project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of Project Management tools, some provide more functionality than others. Look for the one that works for you.
Easy to use project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is extremely helpful for group projects, especially when your team is spread across the US!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, There are problems with syncing the app and the website version and with consistent notifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to work more collaboratively as a team and better divide tasks!
Keeping Team a Priority
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about Asana for me is the list project list. My company always has at least 3 projects at once and I have a small part in many of them so it's good to see the progress we're making together.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the default amount of emails that were sent to me so I had to tailor it to my own needs. I had a hard time with the lay out at first but like anything you have to invest some time into getting to know the site before it feels like home.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am finding that the issue of getting things done by the due date has greatly improved. I am able to see my assigned tasks in one place and can add to my own work flow list.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that anyone looking to implement Asana take a good look at their team and ask themselves how productive they have been in their current to do lists. If the answer is that they are struggling with communication or meeting expectations, I would highly suggest Asana. It greatly helped our team to communicate dynamically.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
As a supervisor, I like that I am able to set due dates for my team and everyone has visibility on what everyone is doing that week.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that whenever my team marks a task as complete that the due date shows up still in red. It looks like they did not finish the project on time when they actually did. I would like to see if one of them misses a due date. That would be helpful to track and I could go back and say you missed X amount of due dates last week, what happened?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Teaching my team how to project manage themselves. It works well for them to have visibility on their tasks for the week.
Asana is great in keeping projects in track!
What do you like best about the product?
That it is very simple, clean, and easy to follow.
What do you dislike about the product?
That there is not a guided training when first using the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving everyday task/new projects that arise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Continue to have things easy and simple to use.
Great project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to tag people in tasks and keep track of deliverables and due dates. I especially like being able to create and use templates for projects that come up often. It is the only way I can work cross-functionally on projects and keep tabs on everything!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it prompted me to fill in owner and due date on tasks, because sometimes a task is created through a template but ends up not being assigned to someone. I know there's ways to view unassigned tasks but would like it to prompt me a bit more. I also think it's not very intuitive for new users, as there are so many options on how you organize yourself that it can feel overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage projects and they get worked on by almost every team in the company in one way or another. It's the best way to keep everyone on track and informed on where things stand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's an amazing tool that can do so many things. I think the one trick is making sure you have a good process in place for how you use it and make sure that is consistent across all teams.
Comprehensive Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the most comprehensive project management tool that I've ever used. It is filled with so many features that we use to ensure that our work gets done. I like the inbox feature and how it integrates with slack so that I can keep up on communications in a centralized place.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is so feature rich that I feel like a novice most of the time. I wish I had time to walk through all of Asana's capabilities because I'm sure I could be better at using the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work in an agile environment, so Asana helps us ensure all projects and tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool for organizing your tasks and projects. It helps your business stay on track.
Asana No More
What do you like best about the product?
Asana was a good way to organize jobs between many people and make a calendar or tasks and due dates.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout was a little busy and difficult to find what I am looking for sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning jobs to certain people and watching them follow through
