Keeping Projects on Track
What do you like best about the product?
I've always been a list maker. I enjoy the feeling of being able to cross a task off as soon as it's completed. Asana steps up the task completion fun by providing you with a flying unicorn or other creature after a task is completed. Make sure the option is switched on though, otherwise you miss the magic.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is a great project management tool once you get the hang of it. However, if everyone on your team is not using the program, it doesn't work to it's full capability. Also, I wish it was a little more user friendly. It's a little difficult to navigate when you're a beginner just starting out. Also, those flying magical creatures you see after completing a project, I wish those happened after EVERY completion, not just a few.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've become more organized with my everyday tasks and have managed to reach project deadlines with ease using Asana. Our office has started using the calendar and subtasks feature as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Schedule a Asana workshop with your team and really take the time to learn how to use Asana properly. Make sure everyone feels confident when using the program. Switch on the "Show occasional celebrations upon task completion" in your settings. You won't be disappointed.
Bring order to your projects
What do you like best about the product?
Prior to Asana, I relied on notes, calendar reminders, reminders in Slack, or at worst, coworkers asking me for status updates. Asana brings a ton of order to my workload and adds visibility to all the team for outstanding items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana is only as good as you are committed to living out of Asana. The more you use it, the more useful it will be. Migrating your previous process to Asana was the hardest part for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana adds order to messy projects and drives accountability across teams.
Asana takes a moment to fully adopt but once you're running it's awesome!
What do you like best about the product?
Dependencies work flawlessly, comments/inbox/alerts are great. Overall, Asana has become the core of operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you could download timeline view into a PDF, you can still share the timeline but it would be great to add to presentations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and project management for our clients. Status project and the pillar for our status report meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. Asana does take a bit to fully learn (it's packed with features like portfolios, projects, etc) but once you do - and have your company fully adopted... it will be your work wall garden.
A lot of great features even with the free version
What do you like best about the product?
Asana does a great job of keeping me on task. I like getting the reminders each day for the separate work spaces so I can quickly see what I need to accomplish that day. It's also easy to create new projects, separate tasks into sections and assign them to staff.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if there was a view that incorporated all work spaces. It is difficult to schedule tasks when you can't see everything at once. I have to keep my calendar open when scheduling to make sure I am not overlapping tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving our task and project management with Asana. The biggest benefit is staying on task, not missing deadlines and managing projects that may be falling behind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have multiple projects with multiple work spaces you may want to consider alternatives to Asana.
A good start to team communication
What do you like best about the product?
This app was definitely a step above simply using emails to communicate with the rest of my staff. We are able to keep different topics in different threads and set internal deadlines, while also seeing what other team members have accomplished by them marking a task "Complete."
What do you dislike about the product?
The emails every time somebody tags me! I understand this is good for constant updates and knowing the status of projects, but I hate the fact that my phone dings a million times in the evenings with other team members working on projects and asking questions. Asana never leaves my side it seems, and that is a good thing AND a bad thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Productivity has increased now that we're all held accountable by others constantly viewing our statuses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have since switched to another project management service.
Seamless sharing among collaborators
What do you like best about the product?
This App has been very easy for my team members to adapt! The easy sharing of tasks and tracking of projects has been excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of analytics. There is no ability for us to track our results against our goals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana gives our team a boost in regards to organization and overall project management. It allows us to bring an added layer of accountability to all our team members.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is not an end-all software, meaning that it does not meet all the needs of a successful project manager, but it is ease to use and share among your team.
Task Management Simple and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of this software is how easy it is to create and assign a task to yourself or a colleague
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion at times there are more individuals, usually two or three, that are involved in completing a task, yet the program only allows you to assign one person. Wish they would open it up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now as a manager I am aware of what my staff is working on and also if they need help to finish a task all they need to do it let me know through the program. This is a great help to me when giving reports to my upper management on specific projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try using the free side first so you can decide if this is a good project management tool.
Very Likely and Easy Teamwork Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Asana in Easy to Track Daily Task Using CalenderView, also check own tasklist Easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana does not manage task using the different card like trello.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My big Project "Sportoo" managing with asana and easy to divided task in a team.also completed project using dateline.
Great at keeping us together!
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to use and it's great to keep an overview
What do you dislike about the product?
It should have the possibility to assign more than one person to a task, so that we don't need to multiply individual tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When having a worldwide team, it allows us to be connected and to follow the progress of each other. It increases efficiency
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It will save you time and make sure nothing falls into the cracks
Help yourself and your employees stay on top of tasks
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy this app because I'm most productive when my tasks/job are laid out in one place for me to see. I can update it or make changes any time, and can even create categories for tasks if I want to work on one section at a time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much I don't like about Asana.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Employees no longer have the excuse of "I didn't finish that because I didn't know I was supposed to do it" and holds everyone accountable.
