Using Asana with in a start up company
What do you like best about the product?
tasks check list, on time communication, email notification
What do you dislike about the product?
there is no bug tracking system, have to create bugs element or tag by ourself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a qa, I use Asana to report bugs. I report the bugs and assign to the developer, tag the priority and severity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please work on the bug tracking part!!! We don't want to switch to other bug tracking system. Just want to do everything in one platform all together. Thank you!

Flexible PM Tool
What do you like best about the product?
We seem to be able to consistently make Asana work for almost anything we need. From content calendars for marketing to a lightweight sales CRM, Asana can handle anything we throw at it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Becuase Asana can work for anything, it is a master of only a few types of project management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved a lot of project management with Asana. We are saving time, meeting less, and working more.
A useful project tracking platform
What do you like best about the product?
Asana offers ways to keep track of multiple projects at a glance
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a quick way to make a project template for similar or repeated tasks, or to renew a project for annual tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Asana to track grant applications
Great Project Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Keeps everyone on the team on the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
My team uses it to prioritize individual tasks for the week, so smaller scale items. It's not the best for tracking and planning larger projects with moving parts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management / prioritization . We realized that we're not all on the same page when it comes to prioritizing weekly tasks.
Colorful and Fun! But Functionally... Eh
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed the design of Asana. I felt it was well-laid out, fairly easy to use, and quick to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
I tried to use Asana to do a great many things, none of which the program could complete. In no way is this program meant to analyze any of the data that you put through it; it is simply an a-to-b project management tool. Do not try to create KPIs or measure growth or design based on the tags that Asana uses to track things from a-to-b, because it does not have any kind of data aggregation based on tags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We briefly used Asana to rout and maintain projects at my place of work. Initially it was a very strong tool for keeping track of who-gets-what-and-how, identifying projects in different work areas, and making sure a proper flow was executed. We soon developed a reasonable system for categorizing and tracking, but that is right where the functionality of the project stops. No look-back data analysis can be performed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If ALL YOU NEED is something to track and manage the flow of project materials, then Asana will be a good tool for you. If you need it to do ANYTHING else - to look back at the projects completed and analyze the number of specific tags you've used, or compare finished to unfinished projects, or run any kind of analytics - then stay away. It doesn't do that. Asana categorizes and manages projects. It doesn't do data.

Asana transformed my work life.
What do you like best about the product?
I like organizing work, with dates, subtasks, that pulls in all the players so I can see it in its entirety.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes projects/tasks get left open even with there is nothing left to do. More of a people problem than an Asana problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assigning accountability. Things don't fall through the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do the tutorial. Take time to learn its nuances. Get everyone on board--it is most effective if everyone is using it.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
Collaboration and easy for multiple people to add comments/mark tasks as complete and generally keep track of to dos
What do you dislike about the product?
More for long term projects, perhaps not suited for daily repeated tasks. Would be nice if it could be integrated into other things rather than as a separate web platform (eg. integration with outlook)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increases communication between team members and keeps everyone up to date on status of projects (i.e. when the next person can begin their portion). Increases efficiency in that respect
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Recommend using for long term projects rather than short daily tasks.
Excellent Tool for any size team
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is the best tool I've used for task management, particularly when it comes to documentation. So often things are lost in emails, and here everything is recorded so it is easy to refer back to things.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't things I necessarily dislike, but I think there are improvements that could be made to take it to another level. Adding "assignee" would be a big one, as well as being able to assign a task to a team and not necessarily an individual.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management and cross-functional team communication. We use this to better communicate not only within our teams, but to assign tasks outside of our team and communicate deadlines in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Train your team so everyone is using it in the same way. I think this goes for every technology though, but setting a standard so no one gets lost in the many subtasks or projects will help everyone adopt quickly and effectively.
