Unclaimed: Are are working at Asana ?
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.

The ease of use and interface means its very intuitive. There are always new features to discover but doing so isn´t a chore or something that requires lengthy time spent trying to do so.
I wish that there were certain features that didn´t require an additional app integration.
Knowing who is doing what / when / where information is being stored. I dont have to look in four different places to find the information.
I'm not chasing my tail when it comes to staying on top of work. The thing, I like most about it is that I don't have to think about what to do next, it just pops up! It makes me feel like I am working on the business and not just in it as well. From a productivity point of view, this is definitely a great programme to have.
That I didn't discover it months earlier!
Keeping me up to date and on top of work and priorities
Super easy to learn and all the trainings are excellent. It's so easy to find the answer for almost anything and take trainings that are relevant to the way I personally use Asana.
Asana is missing certain features that I consider vital, like 2-way calendar syncing (it only works in one direction) and an ability to build in the time for a task to be done (ie, by 3pm, by COB) instead of just the date.
Asana allows us to manage long term projects that we are working on with external groups. We maintain control of the project but they can add updates and check off tasks. It's more collaborative and more visual. I also like it for personal tasks that get repeated a lot, where there are a ton of tasks associated with a bigger task that I repeat on a regular basis.
Asana has helped me organize my tasks. Now my team has joined Asana as well, so I am able to more effectively communicate with them. Asana has streamlined our projects and has helped us be more effective and efficient as a team. It has been easy for me to utilize & implementing it to our team went well because each person was able to join at their own pace!
The only downside would be that I would love to access the rule features on my premium subscription since my company does not want to upgrade our plan at this time!
Asana is helping solve the issue of being overwhelmed with tasks. They are simplifying and clarifying my work load.
I can quickly ramp up using this doing a variety of things, e.g. traditonal projects, workflows, etc.
I have not used this extensively enough to know.
Showing workflow in graphical form
There are so many different features that are all easy to manage. I use the inbox and personal calendar DAILY, it's such a help. I also love that you can toggle between views for projects like List, Board, and Timeline
Nothing, I don't have the premium version yet (my organization is considering a month-by-month subscription at the moment so I'm excited to see how helpful the premium features will be
Streamlining project expectationa across my time, being able to see when due dates are being missed and being able to comment to ask for updates.
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.
The flexibility and options for tasks and projects. It's easy to use and easy to integrate. Use frequently.
Can get complicated while using. So many things that don't apply to single users.
Task prioritization is much easier with Asana. Next actions for projects. Very helpful being able to add contexts. Makes it easy to fill short open bl9cks of time with quick wins.
Being able to track projects, collaborate with others, share info and documents
I would like to have more ways to track time on each task
Managing diffrent projects at the same time
Asana is very easy to use. You can have different teams and projects and also assign certain viewers to them. You assign tasks to which users will be responsible for them and then they receive an email and will input their progress for everyone to see. We use this for weekly and quarterly meetings, special long term projects, and anything else that needs collaboration with several people.
I am not a fan of the "consider updating your project" emails that I receive as an administrator. I use one of the same projects year round and just add to it every quarter but Asana sends me emails asking me to consider updating my task. I also don't like the new upgrade they did to the viewing page but it isn't difficult. I just liked the old one better.
We use this for our Traction L10 meetings and projects. We put the L10 itinerary on there with sub tasks. It helps us keep track of things we have had problems with and also things that we need to do to get things taken care of. With Asana everyone on the team can see what everyone is working on and they can communicate with each other.
