Project planning tool best suited for private use
What do you like best about the product?
The application is best suited for private use of project managements, since you can attach alot of information and metadata to each task and project. It has a good overview of all tasks with associated deadlines/subtasks/comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the application for project management of teams, since it cumbersome to synchronize tasks between team members. Ultimately though, the biggest annoyance with the application is the fact that every action requires about 1 or 2 steps/clicks more than you would like. Each commonly used function is hidden beneath a layer or two of options, making the whole experience take alot longer than ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Asana to manage my private tasks. I add subtasks/documentation and notes to each task and assign deadlines to each subtask.
Pretty good PM app
What do you like best about the product?
This program is GREAT for sharing tasks with a team and centralizing discussion points for meetings. My team uses it regularly for update meetings to track status in the same place as the tasks and everyone can see what they were assigned. We also really like that you can @ individual users and have an email sent to you. We also really liked the mobile version. It's a very simplified version of what we see on the desktop application.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's less about disliking and more that there are a lot of components that we have not yet used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We conduct a variety of big and small projects so it's easy to lose details. Asana helps keep things straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out with a group of people over a couple of weeks with a few projects and task list. Just reviewing it won't tell you everything.
Outstanding collaborative task and project management
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gets it. It's clear that they use the tool to operate their company. Above all, they listen to customers' needs and have built new features that add further value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish their were wider adoption. There are some people who don't understand or like Asana, because they don't learn to use it properly. It's hard to keep things moving when you have to work with people who won't use a system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana to keep track of work requests (new and revised documents), to plan and implement projects, and I use it to keep tasks out of my brain, so I can focus on one thing at a time. A huge benefit is the ability to collaborate across an organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to use Asana's homemade training and onboarding tools. They teach you how to actively use the tool in a way that you're not just "wasting" time learning.
Great tool to keep track of you projects
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use. It is definitely the best part is that you can figure out the whole software in 2 minutes
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to easy navigate across the projects if there are too many in the list.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep track of our on-going projects with the team to see what 's need to be done and what is finished.
I Develop ICOs and Asana Works Best for Project Management
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Asana's overall UI and flow to keep track of a project's tasks. I also like the possibility of exporting the project to CSV file since this opens the doors for multiple data tasks that other project managers don't always allow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that sometimes when there have been many tasks in a project it is overwhelming to receive notifications for the entire thing. I would prefer to have a single notification subscription button per task rather than per Project so I dont get flooded with task advances for tasks that are maybe not so relevant to me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing an ICO for a Startup.
Benefits is that it increases communication and transparency of goals for the team.
Benefits is that it increases communication and transparency of goals for the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be wise about how to give access to your project. Not every task is relevant to all members but at the same time appreciate the fact that the status of the project gives a team the transparency to know how everything is doing so you have to learn to level that by extracting the project information in CSV and presenting results separately to your team for the project as a whole.
Tracking made easier
What do you like best about the product?
The best way how you can track your progress and favorite your tasks in the panel. How it is differentiated using sections like Favorites, reports and teams. It makes it very easy to comment or ask questions about tasks that are not clear and track your own to do lists.
What do you dislike about the product?
Following a task does get confusing at times because you cannot differentiate between your and others task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was just hired recently and to me the biggest benefit was that Asana helps you keep track of your progress and also lets your mentor, supervisor know about your progress. The reason why this is helpful is because everyone can track others progress if not a private task.
Great for team collaboration, and organising projects and tasks
What do you like best about the product?
Asana worked really well for our team of 10 staff - a mix of contractors, employees, GM's and remote staff. It is easy to assign tasks to another person, create a project, create recurring tasks and track any task at any time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up all the permissions and access can take a little bit of time to get your head around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This solves the problem of having a central place for all projects by section of the business. You can also see who is doing what on which particular task and when deadlines were due.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great product but I would recommend starting with a list of what you need from software, then what you would like then a nice to have list. See how many ticks this software gets. Compare it to at least two pieces of other software of the same nature before making your final decision. This is what I recommend for any piece of software. Also, check out their own forms of customer support, and social media sites to see what other customers have had to say about the software.
Keeps tasks and responsibilities across the team organized
What do you like best about the product?
Asana helps us organize and execute tasks, from the very small (fixing a typo) to much larger (organizing a major redesign). You can break tasks into smaller tasks, assign them to different members, tag others, and leave comments so it's easy to collaborate and see who is working on what.
What do you dislike about the product?
Asana can be a little overwhelming to use at first, especially if you've never used similar software. I sometimes found it confusing how and when to change statuses and assign tasks to different people, although that may have had more to do with our onboarding than Asana's UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana improves the team's communication and efficiency. It allows us to work faster, with fewer back-and-forths, and helps keep us focused on our short-term and long-term responsibilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your team is too small, Asana might not be the right fit. I tried to use Asana with a much smaller company, and it was just too complex and difficult to teach with such a small group of people and such non-technical tasks.
Manage everything that you need.
What do you like best about the product?
I can say that it is the simple way to control team projects and tasks. I have the ability to make every project a success for our company. I like the way of map out every step and organize all the information of our work in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't want to tell something bad about that product but I guess that there should be more themes and a lot of choice of colors. With this tools will be a much better way of working duties.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a streamlined way of leading projects and depute tasks to other people. We can view the status of a task that has been delegated is easy. We like that we can to track the data that’s most important to our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software is really powerful and very useful project control solution. You will have the opportunity to manage all your working task. The better able to control all your information. To use that product is easy.
Asana works!
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is designed to keep track of your tasks and due dates in one easy to use software platform. You can follow others task and share with coworkers where you are at on a task. It allows for teams to keep track of all tasks due.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that certain changes to the settings effects all users and not just individual users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task tracking and oversight
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I like Asana because you can create a task with a due date. You can also add sub-tasks to the tasks with their individual due dates. Then you can assign the big task to an individual and you can assign additional tasks to individuals too. Then you can add people as followers to a task. It is great when working on one project that has multiple moving parts. I also love that you can add comments to give people updates to the large task or to the individual sub-tasks. You can also comment to people by using the @ symbol then their name in Asana and they will get a notification that a comment is to them. You are able to organize your tasks by due date. Anytime a task is assigned to you it goes to your inbox in Asana and you will also receive an email. You also receive an email with upcoming tasks from Asana everyday which is a nice reminder to login and look at your to-do list.
