Asana for Impact Training
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is a very helpful tool in terms of organization and ensuring important tasks that build into projects do not fall through or get overlooked. I like its simplicity of tasks layout as well as time scheduling options.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not seamlessly integrated with our organization's calendar and other communication tools that I feel will be more helpful. For instance, I had to manually schedule the training in my calendar, and it still failed to show up. So, I nearly missed the training. I have a personal account with Asana that sends me prompts of tasks status, but I cannot see the same in my work account. It could be something to do with my settings, but I would still prefer that those prompts are set up easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Work efficiency.
I love it, I share it, and I want it to do just a bit more
What do you like best about the product?
It's the best, cleanest, and funnest UI. It's the easiest task-management software to teach my team and has a welcoming design.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am in the process of trying to sell my management on getting an asana description, and I'm always a bit hung up on the same things.
1. Colored text- This would be huge for helping to emphasize and highlight the body of tasks.
2. Multiple "Messages" tabs in a project - I want a place to track about daily updates, and I want a page for project specific messages.
3. Multiple "List Views" in projects, with the ability to change sections/fields - My tasks for a project may vary in what department handles them and the information I need for them.
4. Portfolios not showing specific tasks within a project - I want to see within the gant veiw of a portfolio exactly which milestones a project still needs to hit.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having one place that archives specific details of tasks and makes them easy to duplicate and share, for projects with very similar needs.
Seamless organization
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you are able to link directly to documents in Google Drive since all of our previous project management was done using Google Sheets. I also love that everything is in one place rather than hundreds of different spreadsheets. Finally, it is awesome that tasks can live in more than one project and projects can live in more than one portfolio. Oh, and I also like the live webinars and the asynchronous training. I use Asana every day to organize not only my work tasks, but my life tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure I dislike anything. I just need to learn more about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of projects that are multi-faceted that different departments and owners contribute to, that all lead up to a larger project. The portfolio feature on Asana is very useful for us.
Clean interface and easy to understand and navigate
What do you like best about the product?
It feels intuitive and the short cut support is very good and mostly makes sense. Easy to teach and learn as such, and generally simple when trying to structure projects and tasks in a way that makes sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can feel hard to adapt the organization of project lists and task lists in a way that would be easier to visualize and conceptualize, like if scope creep occurs lists can get long and overwhelming and reorganizing can be tedious or a bit time-consuming.
Can take time to get used to and create a habit of filling in fields (which can be customizable) but requires users to definitely put in full effort and not slack on filling in parts of task/project items

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an IT Support tech:
- Keeps track of all tasks when onboarding users and deploying computers to users, documentation
- Simplifies asks from manager and project managers so that they're broken into tasks
- Tracks and notifies of deadlines or completion of specific items by others
- One-stop shop for all projects, somewhat easy to see overall view of what the team is trying to achieve in a sprint

Easy and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very easy to use, responsive kanban board, customisable type of task, email reminders for every update in the task you ever been assigned.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somtimes the app takes time to load on the web initially
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In every scrum and we used to update the task, set each and every detail to track the progress.
An Accessible and Flexible Workload Management Solution
What do you like best about the product?
The software follows modern UI design trends and is very pleasant to use.
Asana templates support a variety of workload planning and tracking techniques - Lists, Gantt Charts, Kanban Boards, etc.
I can invite additional users without having to provide extensive training. Asana provides a large collection of training and support resources in their knowledge base.
I really enjoy the custom project forms for collecting data from our organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
Individual users can 'lock' their own items to avoid editing by other users. This proves difficult when a user is deactivated as Admins aren't able to unlock their items. Asana support can do this, but it's done on an ad-hoc basis - there's no option to unlock all items owned by a deactivated user.
General support has been slow when needed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team is able to accomplish a disproportionately high amount of project activity relative to our size. However, we needed a way to better organize, manage and gain visibility into our various projects. Asana quickly and effectively replaced our previous solution and also increased the engagement of our users.
Asana as a PM Tool
What do you like best about the product?
project tracking and deliverable updates are clearly depicted in multiple views
What do you dislike about the product?
CRM functionality is challenging to capture with real time lead updates/tracking purposes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we continue to use Asana for PM
Great project tracking application for PMs
What do you like best about the product?
The way you can breakdown a project in phases and add resoruces and other drop down items. It is easy to get used to and create projects on.
What do you dislike about the product?
i wish you could see an actual programme for each project and we could use programma functions like FF,FS,SS within it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
understanding what the next steps when i use templates i have created.
giving management an overview on what stage each project in the portfolio is in.

Good enough project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
Asana gives us flexibility in how we manage work. We can switch between list and board views depending on what makes sense for the team or the type of work. The automations are handy, we’ve set up rules that take care of a lot of repetitive stuff, which saves time. It’s also pretty easy to onboard people since the interface is straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Automations are fairly limited and you depend on 3rd party tools to do more. Migrating from other project management tools is not as easy for people to get used to, and the UI feels more bloated than other tools. In a list view, pressing enter creates a new task, which is annoying when you only want to edit the name of the task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General kanban/scrum/sprints/project management.
Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
I love having a centralized hub for all things project management. It's also great that it allows for collaboration amongst team members. I particularly like the reminders of recurring tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Asana would integrate with Drata, Vanta, and other GRC tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping organized my wide array of clients and projects.
