Simplified Task and Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
The simple and intuitive interface is its strongest feature. I love the flexibility within the task creation functions and the ability to create custom fields. While we mainly use Asana for projects it is an equally effective meeting agenda tool and the fact that you can assign a task to multiple agendas (projects) helps to ensure that items are discussed with all relevant parties while cutting down on email.
What do you dislike about the product?
I appreciate the simplicity, but a more robust feature set around document creation and management as well as built-in time tracking would be very helpful. The current method of attaching files to projects is not well organized and creates version control issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to execute projects faster while delivering better results (isn't everybody). Asana helps us accomplish this by providing a detailed dashboard via google sheets that easily identifies projects at risk of "getting stuck" so we can better prioritize resources and stay on track. Creating regular operational routines to provide updates via the project progress communication feature has greatly helped stakeholders stay connected to projects while minimizing the need to coordinate status meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you give your teams time to adopt certain features on their own schedule. Start simply and slowly with minimal regulation or standardization. Be available and enthusiastic to provide support and don't be afraid to test different approaches before determining what practices are truly "leading".

Decent Project Managment System
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has worked pretty well for our company and applying the Scrum/Agile method. The team dashboard allows you to see what stage a project is in making it easier for Project Managers to keep track of progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just from past systems I have used, it would be nice to at least be able to set up a project that say once a copywriter has completed the copy and checked off the task, I am then notified to begin the next step of the project. Right now, it's heavy on having the PM come in and then create a task and assign accordingly. Causes a little bit of inefficiencies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to stay organized with using Scrum/Agile. Very visual based.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your research and figure out what the best project management system is for your company.

Asana allows me and my team to collaborate in an efficient manner.

Senior Estimator

The benefits are being able to delegate tasks throughout company as well as maintaining tasks for each employee.
Useful once you get the hang of it

Project Management -Light
What do you like best about the product?
I love how light and easy Asana is to for non PM's on our teams to use. We have other PM software we use for more extensive PM work, that entails extensive collaboration and resource tracking but Asana fills the gap between Slack and those platforms. Its a light, easy to use platform to gather early stage info for projects that will soon live in other PM tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its hard to say what I don't like given we're not trying to 'replace' our other platforms, so I don't want to fault it for something it's not trying to be for 'my' teams. In general, better templates -for those PM newbies, and clearer definitions for due dates, on sub task. Permissions control could be nice for lighter teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Platform to fill the gap between Slack and our robust PM platform, as mentioned above things would lost in the cracks between on the fly conversations in Slack about possible project XYZ, because certain (non PM's) wouldn't want to create a project on our main platform while gather requirements,.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't expect Asana to replace a robust PM platform, but for light 'Task' style PM its the best in it's class, hands down.
Good tool but a little confusing
What do you like best about the product?
The general layout and ability to drag items into different locations on the screen is very nice. The ability to assign tasks, projects and how all the information, emails, documents, etc is associated with the item is great. Email alerts are handy as usual and it has a nice look and feel
What do you dislike about the product?
The related tasks and projects can cause a bit of sprawl and become challenging to manage. If I am a member of a task, and not the one it is assigned to, I get a lot of unwanted messages. Would be nice to be able to turn that down or off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team has a very fluid schedule and this helps us keep up to date on assignments, who is going where and update the status on projects as they progress through the different departments. Asana is a pretty good way to keep our small corner of the business organized and all of us on the same page. We are able to keep track of locations and progress from a single dashboard
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is a good team management tool . It has nice add-ins for Outlook, Apple, and Google. Well worth the look
Good tool to track you project's tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a good tool to track your project tasks. It allows to add and assign tasks to team members easily. It is easy to work with and it allows the team collaboration (shared calendars and conversations menus allows quick/easy interactions between all team members).
What do you dislike about the product?
It should improve permissions definitions. It would be very useful to restrict the project details edition. In this way, the project manager could define and allocate project tasks and this could be available for all organization. Add roadmap directly to Asana instead of using Instagantt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am managing my project using this tool. Roadmap creation and tracking, files uploading and chat are very useful in our daily work.
It is a great tool for teams located in different countries.
