Asana for Organizing Projects and Team efforts
What do you like best about the product?
I am relatively new to Asana so I have been taking time to build out the foundation and have utilized all of the Asana tools that are available. This has been great, community, help, email and the webinars!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I dislike at this point, but, I will be working to add some of the email links and integrations shortly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed us to keep track in one repository and we can select the way we want to arrange each task. This is a truly helpful feature, because not every project makes logical sense to be laid out in a calendar style or board style. We are now working through all of the different options. The other portion that is helping is the linked efforts and the dependencies as well as assigning tasks accordingly. We currently work with third party vendors that use Jira and Asana, so this is a nice way of collaborating between different and like apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support tools and community articles have been very helpful. I have also sent an email to sales regarding questions and their response time was within 2 hours! They were able to confirm my question and point me in the direction.
Not friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like being able to organize myself and my coworkers in a sigle app with a lot of options. It's a web focused on improving team's productivity and it is obvious from the first minute. I like the care and effort they put to do a complete web application.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like th desing and for me I was difficult to get in. Sometimes I though I had too much options to learn about, I've needed a youtube tutorial to understand how all works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team management and task management mainly. Also coworkership, obviously. We benefit from collaboraion and scheduling, so we improved our productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend to at least try asana. I f you get how it works quickly, it becomes a powerful we application and it's useful to imrpove your productivity. I do not recommend to spend money on asana having other options, I tried it and I think we are going to stop using the paid version.
Task Management for Individuals and Groups
What do you like best about the product?
Since its rollout, Asana has been one of the better task-oriented platforms for individuals and teams. It has a very nice UI, and provides a robust set of options for amplifying, tracking, organizing, and timing tasks. For practitioners and groups who work in a task-oriented culture, it's hard to beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with most products in this category, Asana delivers as advertised. For teams who want to keep information at a high level--like MS Project teams--Asana is going to feel like overkill. Teams wanting to keep detail and data relationships will find a lot of great avenues within the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I consult with teams that have a task or checklist culture, I recommend Asana as a way to start amplifying task information, most often associated with keeping better metrics (time per event, planned vs. actual, etc.) It's simple to implement and intuitive enough to get started quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always use a tool that most closely fits your culture. If task-oriented, this will be a good fit.
Asana has greatly advanced our collaboration!
What do you like best about the product?
It is dynamic in its tasking. It can be used with many other platforms to enhance our workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are constantly updating, which is good, but it is not always rolled out very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast paced environment with lots of moving pieces. We have been able to align all of our team members for our projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We did a rolling onboard, I would recommend a hard start.
Asana: Good Project Management and Team Work App
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is great for small teams. I recently collaborated with another person on a long-term project and used Asana to track action items and progress. You can also have conversations, share files, and track your progress on multiple projects. Action items drag and drop easily so you can rearrange them if something in your project changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface was a little confusing at first. You have to click through different levels of screens to get to where you want to go, and sometimes it can feel like you're in a maze. The general arrangement of information just took me a few days to get used to for some reason. I do wish there was a way to make the whole thing simpler or have less screen hopping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm keeping track of my to-do list, and I'm able to mark off and archive items that I've completed (which I really like). I think it's helped me to see how much progress I'm making. I can also look back at conversations and old documents, which comes in handy when planning for future projects. The ability to tag team members directly and have conversations cuts down on emails, too!
Super Convenient for Keeping Your Team on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I like how we can easily enter notes, attach docs and update status quickly... and keep all members of the team in the loop.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are too many notifications hitting my inbox, but I haven't learned how to turn off email notifications yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need face to face meetings, or calls as much as before, very time efficient way to work!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, but be patient for the 1st few weeks when using it. It will likely take everyone some time to get comfortable, but should be a great addition, well worth the time and effort!
A Single Pane of Glass for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
You can view organize your platform by project, and then view those projects by tasks, timeline, or on a calendar, and attach files and message about these projects. Within these projects you can also assign specific tasks to specific people, and they can update the statuses of these tasks. Very user friendly and intuitive!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Asana is that it's a separate tab I have to consciously remember to open and update, in addition to my email, calendar, and other project management tools. Asana is also not ideal for data collection ie. how long it's taking specific people to do specific tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana provides a single pane of glass to manage projects and keep project participants, tasks, and timelines organized.
Very flexible platform, it can be very useful as long as you have a strong process and culture.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is friendly, the platform is easy to understand and to use and it`s flexible enough so you can create and manage projects in different ways. One thing that I missed was launched recently, which is project timelines management
What do you dislike about the product?
The flexibility can be a problem as you can use the platform in so many different ways that if you don`t have a very established process you can miss tasks or lose control and using the platform won`t be helpful at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project/tasks management both for product sprints/management and for marketing projects. It helped us to organize and prioritize tasks for each sprint.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are plenty of solutions in the market, you need to understand which is better for your needs and for your process.
Asana needs some UX help
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Asana uses an outline design format, allowing you to detail projects in a bullet point-like fashion. It makes it easy to see a project at a glance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface feels clunky at times to navigate. For example, it would be so much more user friendly if users could resize panels according to their preferred size. But Asana is not truly responsive because it has a minimum width it must be open to in order to see all the content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The company uses Asana to outline podcast projects, parts of which are assigned to different people on the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana does its job well, but for low-level users of the program like me, it doesn't have great adaptability to my preferences that would make me want to use the product more. Rather, I use it because I have to, and put up with its limitations because it's the company's software of choice.
Great organizational tool
What do you like best about the product?
That you can set different categories for to do items
What do you dislike about the product?
The navigation of having to move an item to appear under a different category can be frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great for following up on action items from meetings. Instead of things being left undone because there is uncertainty about who is responsible for what task, there is clarity and those items get done
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Embrace the feature that allows you to create different headings. It took me a while to start using that feature and it is one of the best. Also, use it as a team-building opportunity to help clarify roles in your work relationships - don't feel awkward about assigning someone a task, it's really helpful!
