Asana Review
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is extremely fast and organizes projects very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's frustrating hat you can't add multiple assignees at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team organization, project management, time tracking, housing client communication and project updates across teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Trial out Asana for a good amount of time to really see if all the features meet your needs and ask support to help you specifically with demos. Their support is great.
I liked a lot it until I tried to manage subtasks within projects
What do you like best about the product?
Overall I really like Asana UI. It's very easy to create tasks, assigned to people, select a deadline. I also really like the search and filtering options. It's quite easy to get a quick view of the different pending, completed tasks for different projects, assigned to different people. I use Asana to log all my tasks because I know it will be very convenient to access them later on.
What do you dislike about the product?
The major flaw of Asana I've seen so far is how the relationship between tasks and sub-tasks is handled. I use sub-tasks a lot, often time nesting several levels of sub-tasks that can have different deadlines or owners than the parent's task. It is very easy to create these sub-tasks. However, I have not seen any option to populate some of the parent's task attributes to the sub-tasks. For instance, if the parent task is part of Project A, it is not possible to automatically assigned the sub-task to Project A. This action has to be done manually for each sub-tasks. Also when doing so, the sub-tasks gets automatically added to the top section of the project view which is very random. As a result, I need to manually drag down all sub-tasks assigned to a project to the bottom section of the project in order to "hide" it. It doesn't seem that the project view is very customizable to what kind of tasks you want to show or not. I use project management to increase my productivity and here I by spending time dragging down tasks around I'm giving back some productivity gains. I would expect from a project management tool that has been around for a long time to have a better way to manage task<>sub-task relationship.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems I'm solving are to be better organized with my teammates on the differents tasks/projects we have going. If a task isn't logged in Asana it almost like it doesn't exist.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think ahead on how you intend to use Asana and how your usage may evolve over time and see if you can build your ideal workflow within Asana. Test it before starting to adopt it, it's never pleasant to have to migrate to another solution once you have invested some time adopting a project management solution. I think Asana is great for simple tasks/project management but in my experience, for complex project management that involves sub-tasks, you may run into limitations sooner than expected.
