A Project Management Dreamscape
What do you like best about the product?
It's aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely user-friendly and functional in the most practical of ways. The flair makes it fun, but the workflow technology and ability to multi-home, customize, and report makes it an essential software product for any organization. A new-hire template was used and provided to me in order to facilitate my onboarding, and it was the best orientation experience I've ever had at a new job. I have continued to learn and fall more in love with the product ever since! Any time I have a question, the Asana team members are quick to help, whether via customer support or the Asana forum. The skill badges offered in Asana Academy are intuitive, informative, and supremely helpful for getting the most out of this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I create and configure a template on behalf of a colleague, I continue to receive notifications about their changes - I wish there were a way to create a project for someone and then remove yourself. Knowing Asana, there is most likely a way to do this (as they've thought of just about everything!) but I just have not figured it out yet!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We serve partners on a year-long contract, so being able to launch a new project from a pre-saved template when they onboard to guide us through the entire year (with one click!) is amazing. It's also supreme for onboarding new hires internally. As a start-up, we collaborate heavily, so the multi-homing is a must. It's also helpful to utilize the Workload view to see who needs things removed from their plate and who may have a little space for a special project. Most importantly, it just ensures nothing that needs doing falls through the cracks.
Straight forward and easy for team to jump right in.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy for team to transition to - easy and straight forward with minimal to no training needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not able to automatically move dependent tasks if main task due date changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identifying tasks that are pending, holding team accountable by having visbility to tasks. Also identifying workload for team members and adjusting work load accordingly
Project Management in a High Paced and Always Changing Environment
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to have a glance of high level activities and the flexibility to ensure the little details are not missed with use of subtasks and rules.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much downside - I wish the mobile app was a bit more like the desktop version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cross departmental functionality as several groups are involved in each project we manage.
We've switched to Asana and I'm so happy we did
What do you like best about the product?
As a project manager, I am very particular about adding timelines and ensuring that dependencies and subtasks are properly set. What I like most about Asana is the ability to switch between different views. I start with the list view to outline all of my tasks, and I can even create a list in the description and convert them into subtasks – it’s so nifty! Once I’m all set, I can easily switch to Timeline view and then to Calendar view. This is so much better than the previous tools we've used, where I had to configure the dashboard or install third-party applications just to get the view I needed. The automation setup, where tasks automatically move to the Completed column, is also a nice touch!
What do you dislike about the product?
As a person who sweats the small stuff, I could probably say a very minor annoyance but not that I hate, is probably when I open the subtask window and I have no option to go back to the parent task window. Instead, I have to close the window altogether and go back to the parent task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a project, no matter how big or small, a robust project management tool is imperative. Ensuring the project timelines are met, communication within the team and stakeholders are accounted, and a central hub for the source of truth are just few of the problems that Asana solved for us. One project that benefitted the most is during site migrations where a specific set of guidelines needs to be met. Right out of the bat, Asana provided an avenue for everyone to see the progress. Developers gets an asynchronous access to guides and information, and a minor task of summarizing the inbox is taken cared of by the AI.
Asana: A Breath of Fresh Air for Project Management

What I absolutely love about Asana is its incredible ease of use. The intuitive interface makes it simple for anyone to jump in and get started, regardless of their technical expertise. The way Asana organizes teams and projects is fantastic, providing clarity and structure where there was chaos before. The dashboard and visuals are top-notch, offering a clear overview of progress and making it easy to spot potential roadblocks. Moving around within Asana is a breeze, the workflows are smooth and logical, which has been a huge time-saver. Asana has brought an unprecedented level of organization to our work, reducing stress and boosting productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be completely honest, it's hard to find much to dislike about Asana. If I had to pick one area, it would be that the more advanced reporting features can sometimes feel a little overwhelming for new users, but once you get the hang of it, they are incredibly useful.

Project Management at its Best for Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I'm not using all of the functions in Asana yet to be able to tout what's best about Asana. For now, I use it to keep track of all of my projects and tasks that I need to ensure get done. I like how easy it is to be able to do that. I like that I can customize the way things are displayed and that for the most part, everything is very intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I wish that I could have a notepad of sorts to remind me of things that don't necessarily have to do with any single task or project. Also, it would be nice if I could have a bird's eye view of all of my projects, and other team projects on a timeline in a single snapshot--like Proggio has (but I think that they're the only one who has that functionality and it's more for big enterprise).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to collaborate with my team on various projects and keep track of comments for each task, allows me to stay on top of things with my tasks (I'm quite forgetful), and sometimes helps me see what I need to prioritize in my head (not sure if they have a tool to help with that, but I do it in my head when I see it all before me).
