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).
Asana for all
What do you like best about the product?
Asana provides a UX/UI that allows for seamless collaboration across teams and departments. Working together has never been easier. It allows for management of personal to-dos and projects. It's never been easy to manage multiple projects with many stakeholders simultaneously as Asana will let you know what you need to work on and when to meet you deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't as easy to integrate your personal (home life) to-dos as Asana requires a business email. It then doesn't make sense to set up your personal life inside your business Asana in case you change company and have to migrate all the information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross-functional work management. We have spent less time in meetings and sending emails (doing work-about-work) and been bale to increase our improve and improve quality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Invest time and effort in the onboarding process. Don't rush. Ensure everyone is comfortable with using the tool.
Very Useful Projektmanagment Tool especially for Process planning
What do you like best about the product?
On every Plattform you can use the Same Functions and everyone can use the Base Functions for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
That they don´t offer discounts for NGOs, Students or other charitable things.

Setting up Processes and Managing the Team Task Load
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana can be a very useful tool for starters. The Con is definitly that you can not selfhost it and the Privacy is not a very high protected thing it seems like.
Never been so organized!
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many things I love about asana but my favorite thing is how easy it is to share my process with my clients. Giving them tasks helps so much! Nothing gets lost over phone and email. A whole project is in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can’t think of anything I don’t like!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
He recently started using the board template (instead of the list template). I use it when I’m early on in the process of a job for brainstorming and story boarding. It’s nice to have that option!
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.
A Well-Worth Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's task assigning system and ability to join teams with a clearly labelled focus is one of its greatest strengths. You are constantly "in the know" about your tasks at hand and can upload descriptions and images, as well as comment on how the assignment is going. Assigners of the task is kept up to date with the person completing the job marks it complete and can track any changes
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a while to learn, especially with the UI on mobile. It's helpful to sort by both completed and incomplete tasks. Speaking of those tasks, the assigner can overrule you on the task and mark it complete sometimes leaving you out of the loop until you get a notification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The integration with slack has been key. Think of an organised and official to do list that helps keep track of tasks to be done as well as puts it into a professional tracker and loops in a lot of people in your network, but more importantly, the right people.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that when beginning to learn, you have a dedicated task and project leaders/committees. Sorting everything out with this overall organisation in mind makes the jump into Asana and its implementation so much easier
Don't know how I functioned before Asana!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana makes task and project management a breeze! It's SO easy to track your tasks and projects, communicate within and across teams and facilitate collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing that I'd love is to have my own customised background on projects and even have different backgrounds for different projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana for so much! Day-to-day task management and staff oversight, project management and task execution, delegation and workload management and more! Tasks are getting done, time management has improved and we've seen less dropped balls across teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
GO FOR IT! Literally I don't know how we got anything done before using Asana!
asana has made me the Queen of productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can customise asana to suit the needs of everyone in the business. Another key reason I love using asana is that the company is constantly innovating and developing new features as customer need arises. The community at asana is also unlike any other, around a year ago I joined asana together and through this program have met some amazing asanas and been invited to speak at an event at General Assembly.
What do you dislike about the product?
asana is quite costly to use and if it were cheaper we would have the ability to role business features out to more users. I wanted to really love the Creative Cloud integration, however I think it needs a lot more work on export options before it will really be a great integration to use. Hopefully this will continue to be worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started with just our designer (me) using asana to manage design requests, however over the last 2 years this has grown considerably and we now have things like Marketing campaigns, printing logs, Operations maintenance logs, time at task trackers, learning and development trackers all within Asana (and we are adding more things all the time). A real benefit for us has been the ability to develop custom templates and workflows for different departments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think outside of the box when making asana work for you, custom fields allow you to do so much more then what you might think.
Best inclusive tool for project management
What do you like best about the product?
The ability Asana has to be used by PM and non PM, office support staff and other stakes holders.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sub task movement should be easier in between tasks like drag and drop. also a record of what has been erased or canceled, to fix errors and address training when needed.
