Asana Boosts Accountability and Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to customize it to fit how your organization works. I also think the training, both in terms of video tutorials and live webinars, is incredibly helpful. These resources also help increase buy-in from new users being asked to integrate Asana into their workflow. Asana is extremely powerful and, as you get deeper into it, it can provide a whole host of integrated solutions for project management. That said, none of the "bells and whistles" are required to get started. It can be used in its most basic level, which is extremely intuitive, and still have a huge impact on order and oversignt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Possibly the limitations on adding outside contractors without buying additional licenses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have dramatically increased accountability and project management since adopting Asana. In addition, we have eliminated a lot of pointless emails by having all communication live within a task or project. This has also reduced the number of meetings we need to have to get everyone "on the same page."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it and be sure to use the training resources to get others on board. Side note: your site won't let me upload the screenshot to confirm so you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m4wrqg7bcr8n818/asana.jpg?dl=0
A Efficient project management tool, especially when working with my shool

I can synchronize the board with a lot of services like Slack, Google Agenda.. We can also use Instagant, That is really useful for our projects. it's easy to create tasks and assign them to the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too much notifications but it's necessary for project management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We improved our productivity. A single view of all the task and better vizualisation of the project that helped us to be organized and be aware of were you are on the project.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really simple to use, the projet management solution.
Great collaboration for a team!
What do you like best about the product?
Great way to collaborate, task out projects and see timeline/calendar all in one place. Our team works remotely often so we rarely have the ability to all jump into a conference room. This serves as a way for us to stay connected and know what our team members are doing, see the calendar, know progress and status made on a project.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be overwhelming to get set-up on a project and get everything entered in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management without having a designated project manager on our team.
Stay on task!
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to create a project and tasks that needs to be completed by a set deadline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to find a feature that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m able to manage tasks that need to be completed on a daily basis easily and more conveniently by assigning tasks and having employees check off when completed.
Great product - a bit too robust for our needs
What do you like best about the product?
I liked how easy it was to set things up. It was fairly intuitive to set up. Its main features are pretty good. They are trying to set up a KanBan board which it's quite up to snuff, but their core product is solid.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot of information that you can put on each task within the projects, but you cannot decide which pieces of information you can display on the task list view. In their attempt to keep things "Clean and simple" they force you to drill down deeper to see the info you really want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using it mostly for task management. I work on many small projects, nothing big enough to deserve a gant chart, but there are many multi-day projects that can easily get disorganized and lost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would stick with their core products for now. They are moving into creating Kan Ban style project management - it's still a little clunky, but I'm sure they will make it as good as the rest of their product. They give you quite a bit of functionality with their Free, not time limit offer, it's an easy way to test it and see how it works and if it works for your team. Set up it fairly quick and intuitive.
Intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can assign task to your team members and the possibilty to tick off the completed task. It's good to keep track of objectives or project stages. It's also great to be able to word search the whole system - it's very handy as you may not remember where the information is stored.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes can come across as a bit fiddly, or just a very advanced to do list. I think it could be that I'm not aware of all the functionalities the software offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organisation and project management - saves us a lot of email back and forth to set projects up, and keep track of who is meant to be doing what. It's a one stop shop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone needs to be fully "Onboard" and keen to use it for it to deliver its full potential
For the everyday Joe
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is awesome for anyone needing to get orginzied on a budget. The free version is packed full of great things to help you accomplish any task.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only thing I found was a pain was when someone you know has a great board and you want to use it. It’s quite hard to share the layout.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task management the tasks that are not day to day

Easy To Use
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to navigate through tasks and how you can quickly create new task and projects. I also like that you can easily search the title of a task to see whose board it is on at that given time and what the current status is off it. Another great feature is being able to not only mark tasks complete but to be able to go back and reopen them if need be.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some shortcuts aren't easily known and take some time to find. For example, making heading within the subtasks stand out more with bold or underlying features. That wasn't in the quick start and took a little digging into and searching to figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deligating and following up on task. It's easy to delegate tasks to others and then follow up on it and watch their progress. It is also a good way to keep yourself up to date on your own task and what you need to do. You can create a simple to do list (and other lists) for yourself to be able to frequently go back and forth to and check and update your daily task.
Simple and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
I like the assignment feature, it allows me to quickly send tasks to team members and I can quickly see how things are progressing in files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I loose a task when assigning it. I think my thumb hits the mouse trackpad and it kicks me out of the assignment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project updates. I can quickly see where projects are and their status. I can tell when we are waiting on certain items, and what information is missing quickly.
Dont know how we worked as a team without this!
What do you like best about the product?
Project management has been a blessing in disguise. We were missing out on so much forgotten work. We are now on top of every little or large task we are working on. Will never not use this or something similar again.
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be a better way to attach files and share larger projects within asan. This is more of a to do list for specific groups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not missing out on projects or conversations falling by the wayside.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a great program. If you feel lost in day to day work, then this is your solution.
