Helping our team get on track
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to organize all office tasks by functional area and see deadlines and all who's responsible for each task. Can immediately see what is falling behind and what needs rescheduling.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to copy and paste and entire board to another project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our office has no active manager and essentially we are self managed so we implemented Asana to help keep us on track and to manage the scope and schedule of all our work.
Intuitive use and clean design
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to communicate with team members and a clean layout.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many customizable options to choose how you want your tasks displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes it easy to check in with coworkers regarding projects.
Easiest, smoothest and one of the most collaborative tools there is..
What do you dislike about the product?
Connecting sub-tasks between different teams, especially different projects is a really convoluted process. You need to move the task up, then drag to main task, then move to a project and then move to another project. That is so many clicks and moves -- just super annoying.
It is easier to re-create the task in another project and close out the earlier one.
Very difficult to connect JIRA tickets with Asana. Wish there were some connecting SSO projects within Asana so instead of copying URLs of JIRA - we could just add it in the right fields. That would have helped a lot with reporting.

Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I LOVE the new feature to integrate with Slack. I use it all the time. The little characters that pop up as a reward randomly for finishing a task are fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more creatures for what pops up when you complete a task. Also, it is not as "idiot-friendly" as I'd hoped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our team track who needs to do what on our projects in an organized manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is fairly easy to use, but not as easy as I'd hoped. It's solid product and easily integrates with Slack.
Good for PMs to check overall progress
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to see others’ projects so that I know who’s working on what, when, and possibly with whom.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’m not a fan of the default view settings. Due dates should be able to be filtered right away, without having to change that view each time. I also think that clicking on a task shouldn’t mean that you automatically want to edit that task; just view more infor or sub tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is always hard, so in Asana it’s much easier to view how many people are working on a single project/client. It’s also nice to add a specific document link so that the assignees know exactly where to put their work.
Useful if all on same page
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to break down tasks into components and assign them. Features for personal management alongside the holistic team picture. Cuts down on meetings and emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only works if everyone keeps up with it and breaks down tasks in similar ways.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to understand where other team members are at and set priorities without email or in-person check ins.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Front load time to make sure you're set up well and comprehensively and that all team members are using the software in the same way. From there it's a great tool!
Great Task / Project Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps all members of the team stay connected, on track, and on target. It also has a very nice integrated feature with Instagantt for those project managers that like to use Gantt charts to keep their team focused on common goals, identify critical path items, bottlenecks, and capacities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a better way to notify everyone of their tasks other than a push notification or an email. I'm not sure what the answer is, but the accountability still needs to be handled from without.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using, the team was disjointed and following shiny object syndrome. Now, we have a plan in place that everyone can follow. It also provides more transparency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will help with task management and some of the accountability, but overall project management and oversight will be up to the users and leaders in the organization.
A Weird Collaboration Method
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the cleanliness and the simplicity of the interface a lot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really didn't seem to find any real use in the software. Ultimately, I ended up just making a few extra private GH Repos and used GH Issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was trying to solve the issue of remote collaboration when I used Asana, but it turns out that Asana is quite the bad fit for this.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider just using GitHub Issues instead.
1 man Asana team
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to organize my thoughts and plans in a clear fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options on how to visualize your tasks. Right now theres only the board view or list view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a project management organizer. The rest of my team doesn't use it, but I use it to track things on the back end and visualize and time out events.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I want more options on how to visualize tasks in Asana. Right now there's only the board view or list view. I would want something like a task tree where you can easily link and see how one tasks depends on 3 others and each of those on 3 other tasks, etc.
