Considered one of the pioneering cloud-based project management tools, Asana offers four views for its users – List View, Timeline, Calendar, and Boards – all of which help teams get both a macro and micro view of all the moving parts of projects and tasks. It provides a comprehensive roadmap of ongoing projects from start to finish, clearly outlining dependencies, project milestones, and feedback and approval processes. For project managers, strong reporting capabilities that show completion rates, individual workloads, and potential delays just to name a few create opportunities for real-time project optimization, collaboration, stronger forecasting, and better planning for future similar projects.

Very intuitive and aesthetically pleasing project management tool
Nothing--I love the tool, community, and resources available
Creates transparency for the full team, giving insight at any moment into what is going on cross-functionally. Asana also enables us to work towards common goals seamlessly, keeping our objectives on track.
i like how easy it is to see all of my tasks and the tasks from my team members. It makes it easy to collaborate and have my boss approve projects.
Honestly I have no issues so far. This is the first company I've worked at that uses Asana and I can't imagine not using it.
It helps me keep track of my projects and allows my project manager to create project requests and have our boss approve them.
This was my first accessing AND using Asana. The trainer was engaging, informative, and provided an interactive space for us as participants to not only see the program, but to use it in real time. The examples were appropriate for a novice user, and he did check-ins along the way to make sure we were tracking well with the material. I will be using this system as a part of my everyday workflow, so I can appreciate having a tool to assist me with being more efficient. I also appreciated the Q&A that was addressed live but his support team. This was an excellent session and I will be sure to attend additional trainings offered through the site.
None to note at this time. I think that as I learn the system more, I may be able to provide feedback here, but I'm hoping I won't need to report dislikes.
Having a collaborative tool to use across all of the projects that I manage within my role.
the possibility to share the project with multiple teams just connecting projects and portfolios
projects cannot be exported new features cannot be applied to existing projects
it is all in one place avoiding duplication of tools and tasks
It provides many possibilities to automate reptitive tasks, give a bird's eye view of what's going on and keeps everyone informed
It can be difficult to get people onboard, if they already have their own way of working
Creating checklists with task templates ensures that I don't forget any important element in my recurring tasks
It is easy to use and there is lots of training in different ways. I love the ability to automate using workflows and using templates for repetative tasks. Easy to integrate with Microsoft Teams. Great customer service. I can't wait to continue to use it daily and save time.
As a division admin I don't have access to see who has created portfolios. We have limited amount of them and it would be nice to know who created what so I would reach out and help manage the number. The only other thing is having to purchase in groups of 10 licenses. We are a smaller org and having to pay 10 when only needing one more can be hard on the budget.
Teams are able to more easily organize tasks, report on status and collaborate with other teams.
Replace the endless to do lists with functional tasks that help you acheive the project step by step. Super easy to use, and there are many advanced features I am only just starting to learn about.
Not everyone in my organization uses Asana.
Replaces individual to do lists with shared dashboard to check on project progress.
While I am early in my adoption of Asana and therefore have not yet gained a comprehensive understanding of the application, what I have learned is very impressive. Really like the task managment capabilities. Setting up projects seems very straightforward and intuitive. Use it every day now for organizing and tracking my tasks. Customer support and training seems top notch also.
Without the training Asana is an app with a pretty steep learning curve. But, I am increasingly coming to realize the benefits of Asana are going to be well worth the effort.
Gathering all my project information and task information in one place where I can have an integrated, single source of truth about my work.
Communication and tracking simplified from a high end to basic user
Can become clutered quite easy if you are disorganized
Workflow management has been a breeze when it comes to creating rules and tasks for certain requests.
Asana allows: -projects to be broken down to smaller tasks -easy project-setup -easy access to multiple projects -transparency across company -clear accountability -clear set due dates -cross-team collaboration, especially for remote teams -time tracking -reporting -increases motivation by elements of gamification.
Until email notifications are set properly, Asana may send numerous email notifications.
Asana makes cross-team collaboration much easier in a remote work environment, allowing easy direct messaging relevant to tasks. Assigning tasks to other departments with clear due dates is also easy. As every task has an "owner" (aka a "responsible person"), it helps create clear accountability for every task within a project.
Love that its easy ro use and maneuver through. The different features makes it undefstandle even if yiure a first timer. Asana has been helpful with the organization of multiple projects. I also love that everyone in the office that uses it can collaborate about projects that more than one person is responsible for.
i have not experienced anything to dislikeso far.
Helping to keepupwoth urgent deadlies
I love the use of forms. People from other departments can look up each asana board and request new items.
On the app for desktop: I wish I could split screen to see other boards at the same time. If that is either acutal split screen or view x tab in a new window.
Before Asana I was primarily using documents and post-its to keep track of my tasks. Asana is benefiting me by being able to collaborate with others in my department and outside of my department. It is also resolving how I view task management.
Easy collaboration, easy scheduling, easy to see what you and others need to do
Some of the features that we could also be using are an upcharge
With asana we are easly able to schedule ALL of our projects and see not only individual timelines but also the deadlines of the whole team. Easly share documents and feedback
Helps me and the team keep organized and on the same point. Great preview view for the timelines and Gantt charts. Easy to work with. The notifications are useful, and being able to configure it with other working platforms is even better! We use it every day and it crucial for our online work!
It might feel overwheling at time having too many features and options. Though it's helpful, just a bit tricky at the beginning!
It helps us have our work organized in a viewable workflow and timeline. Helps understand who will be working on what, when and where. It Tasks have good space and features to add task's description and working docs.
Asana can help me to summary all tasks and easy to tracking, advoi to miss.
sometimes went wrong, cant export the report
Sumary and tracking
I can use it as much or as little as I want, and it is fully customizable to ensure that I keep track of everything in a way that makes sense.
The only single thing is that I wish you could see recently compelted tasks and upcoming tasks on one page
I have so many tasks to do that I would have no way of keep tracking of otherwise.
I love how easy it is to collaborate with co-workers across teams. Not to mention, the rules on project boards make it super easy to stay on top of tasks!
There aren't any downsides so far, other than a few additional rule capabilities that would be helpful.
It's helping with cross-functional collaboration and task management within my own team!
Asana's task views - I use list and board primarily - ensure that workflow and prioritization is a breeze. The platform is an integral part of our workplace. Being able to see projects and tasks on both a large-scale big-picture and broken down into subtasks (all with deadlines and easily accessible assets) is another one of the highlights.
It can be challenging to, in an agency with a number of tools and tasks on the go, to constantly update. Luckily, many platforms integrate with asana already, and as more are added, this challenge will be reduced.
Asana solves for many issues for our agency. The primary is solving for communication across our team and managing all of the deadlines that come with our many tasks.
Built in notifications. The ability to add deadlines, other team members and track the progress of important tasks or projects
Can take some time to get buy in and adoption.
An all in one place for projects, timelines and tasks which provides accountability and team visibility and leads to more productivity.
Asana is a great way to get yourself organized, whether for your personal life or business. It's an excellent tool for checklists, collaborating with team memebers, project ideas, getting approvals on social media images, etc.! The list goes on!
There is nothing to dislike about Asana as it is straightforward to use once you get the hang of it. if the email notifications of tasks get too much, you can turn them off and go into the app and check your inbox there! With Asana, you have options!
Asana is great when you work with a team and develop the idea that you want to expand on. Everything is in one place. It is also a great tool to task out projects to other team members. It's a beautiful tool that truly helps you, and everyone else stays orgnaized. It gives you accountability too!
