Asana for managing multiple projects
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can create a template for your projects if you have projects that always have the same stages or steps. I also like that you can see if a coworker has completed a task and send them a reminder directly from the app interface. You can also have different teams for different types of projects which is pretty cool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like the ability to create projects and alter project details via an import instead of manually. Example, I had to deliver my product within the clients dictated timeframe. Project dates were updated weekly (160+ projects each with 3 key dates) and as project dates change due dates of key project stages change accordingly, without a way to quickly update all the projects I actually stopped using Asana
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using Asana to manage various projects that happen all at once and also one after the other. This helped keep the other people on my team on track for their projects and there was good visibility as to who should be doing what. Asana encouraged accountability and productivity in that sense.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This can be a good way to collaborate with coworkers and get a visual on projects
Great tool for tracking projects
What do you like best about the product?
It is straightforward to set up a project and track milestones.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have issues with the permissions in Asana. For instance I will click through a link and be told I don’t have access to view the content...but I have no way of requesting access to it or seeing what exactly I don’t have access to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project tracking, collaboration, milestone setting, task assignment.
A useful way to plan your day, at work and at home
What do you like best about the product?
I like how useable the tool is with useful hotkeys and and integrated mobile app. I also like how you can break a task into sub-steps that can be completed individually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I still have to be disciplined to use the tool :). It has helpful email reminders but ultimately it's up to you to use it regularly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I keep track of priorities and try to use it to focus my efforts for the day. I can also keep track of details for long-running tasks and projects.
Asana makes project management easy for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
It’s so easy to create tasks and subtasks in Asana. Developing scrums and using agile project management is much easier than before. I really love that everyone can drag and drop different documents and collaborate in one space. It's also really helpful to see everything in the calendar view.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some areas like Gantt charting that aren't quite as easy as they are with other systems. I also dislike how difficult it can be to search for specific tasks. For example, if you don't search for the exact task name, it can take forever to find what you're looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re solving a lack of organization. For the most part, things are no longer slipping through the cracks. Additionally, the product is helping with accountability. We can easily tag and mention various members of our team when they need to have eyes on specific projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're considering Asana, just make the switch. It'll be easy for all of your company to use – including those who are typically less responsive and/or tech-savvy.
Wonderful for a flexible and responsive bug and task tracking database
What do you like best about the product?
It can be used for personal and business task tracking. It works well for bug tracking and sprint planning as well and makes it easy to outline goals.
What do you dislike about the product?
There was a slight learning curve in the beginning that was easily overcome. Features for QA and bug tracking could be more comprehensive as seen with RallyDev, but nothing that can't be overcome with supplemental application support w/ Google Docs and the like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana is wonderful because it can be used for personal task tracking as well as business tracking. It was effective in tracking both bugs, sprint progress, and sprint task. Communication and tagging other users is made easy through Asana. It's easy to organize things the way you want them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Asana is an excellent tool for small scale project management and can also be used for personal goal tracking.
Good for Group Work--Bad for Calendaring
What do you like best about the product?
I like the interface--I like the ability to create and assign tasks & the flexibility to edit the tasks after their supposed completion date--like passing them off to other team members or giving yourself a followup or additional task to complete in order to finish a task.
I also like the ability to write notes to team members on tasks.
This is really a perfect application to use for group work.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wanted an easier way to create a group calendar that would allow all of the members of the team to add and see what the whole team has going on. It was hard and a little confusing to add already existing calendars from other applications into the system & it was a little buggy. We also didn't get notifications about the calendar as we did with the tasks.
Also--There is in INSANE amount of notification emails. It is adjustable-- but the default is getting mulitple emails a day.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We tried to use this application to create a singular cohesive calendar that is shared by multiple team members with different meetings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great application to communicate with team members while working on tasks toward a single or multiple goals.
Keeps me organized
What do you like best about the product?
The encouragements when you finish a task are fun and I love the gant chart. Used to make these with post its on the wall- having it in a software is exactly what I wanted. I like the option to have the sticky notes visual as well as just a list
What do you dislike about the product?
Most is self explanatory but a few features harder to figure out, like the documents / files.
Dont like that other users can take a task from you and assign it to themselves without permission. When working quickly on a project with a lot of tasks and a lot of peoplre, this has caused two people to work on a task at the same time on more than one occasion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
staying organized, keep track of what needs to be done, delegating tasks, working on projects as a group. Nice to be able to save a workflow and copy for future use. So easy to mark a task as complete and send it along to the next person in the work flow or reassign to someone else. Nice to keep projects separate by department too
Recommendations to others considering the product:
super easy to use and for each person to customize to see tasks laid out in a way that is helpful to them.
Easily allows a project to move along from one person to the next with out the need for emails.
Keeps you motivated by encouraging you when you finish a task

Excellent Software for Task Management
What do you like best about the product?
This software has really helped me keep task management on track. I use the task and sub task options to create a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) for projects. This software has many options and is very robust. I especially like the mobile app.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve when getting started because there are many options. It can be a little confusing but once I got going it all made sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used this software to organize some internal projects and keep tasks straight.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many options with this software so know what you want to get done before trying it out.
Great for Teams!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that we can have individual tasks along with our Group tasks but are still able to keep them separate. This makes for easy tracking and assigning them to other team members.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that your tasks aren't sorted by completed/not completed. When you mark something complete, you hav eto manually drag it all the way down to the end of the list...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're having our projects completed on time and all members of our team are active in it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keeping your projects prioritized and keeping all team members involved is a breeze with Asana.
Task Management Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like the team integration and the unlimited tasks and projects. The dashboard is a nice feature as well the reporting function.
What do you dislike about the product?
assigning tasks across different teams can be a little confusing as well as sorting projects through everyone's personal project lists.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When our previous task management system went down, Asana stepped in and proved to be a great tool to fill this void. It is a little more complex that our previous system but with added features that makes tracking project lifelines and task resolution easy.
