Great tool for that dont required advanced project management features
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an easy to use project management tool. It has an intuitive interface to help build projects, assign tasks, and track progress. Some of the great features include
- Setting dependent tasks
- Building custom fields based on your team's unique needs. (example, priority)
- With notifications, Asana will let team members know when what tasks are upcoming or when a principal task has completed so you can start a dependent task.
Asana also has a built-in timeline view that automatically builds from your task list, in a Gantt chart fashion. You can assign a task to team members or 3rd party agents, and provide them just with the permissions to see what you want them to see.
Each user has a personal dashboard that shows their upcoming tasks and progress. This is very helpful, especially when there are a lot of balls in the air.

What do you dislike about the product?
Our biggest complaint is that there isn't enough automation for tasks. For example, if the completion date for a principal task slips, the dependent tasks are not automatically pushed out. Instead, you have to manually update all dependent task to make sure their completion dates align. Also, when you set a start and completion date, the task duration field should automatically update so you know exactly how long a task will take. Lastly, there isn't a way to assign multiple team members to a task. So if there is a task that two team members are working on, you have to create two task and update them separately. It would be much easier if you could either group these tasks so they can be updated in one field or have multiple people on a task
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest reason for using Asana is to help organize our team's projects, stay on top of tasks and work with cross-functional teams seamlessly. Asana has allowed us to do this. Our only wish is that it had more automated features.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great way to manage a team with lots of projects. They are working on building more automated solutions which will make this tool even better.
Asana - Pros and Cons
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Asana is user-friendly and that projects can be separated easily into different boards. This feature is helpful when involved with multiple projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that anyone involved in a project can make a major change to the board. I also don't feel that Asana takes away the back-and-forth in communication on a project as well as I was hoping it would. It allows projects to be organized, but still requires back-and-forth to communicate on the project deadlines and progress.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major benefit to using Asana is everyone involved with a project and view the outline, rather than the outline being saved only by the project manager.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great tool for keeping organized and giving multiple people a line of site into projects.
