I like that I can add subtasks tasks to each assignment. It really enables me to keep everything organized and keep myself on task without missing any detail. I also enjoy the fact that you can assign a priority to a task.

One thing I don't like about asana is sometimes I have trouble finding a task that someone has assigned to me.

Asana for Project Mgmt

It costs to put them in a calendar and see them in date order. It's hard to just see the most recent comments without re-reading everything

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for assigning tasks with deadlines
Need a Project Fixed?
What do you like best about the product?
Great for communicating to different departments bugs, requests and presenting tasks needed to be completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like all the notification by email send. I wish we would get monthly updates. Also, notified clearly once yours if being looked at and more direct when a case it completed. It’s hard to keep up with task you’ve created in the past and log in when it isn’t our main platform that we use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bugs get fix all the time through the in house platform we created. Wonderful place for coworkers to share their ideas to improve work flows
Great for project management for remote employees
What do you like best about the product?
Access by several remote team members/collaborators. We are able to quickly see workload and shift as needed. Additionally, contract/freelancers could easily access system and update progress on various projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some calendar planning functions were lacking that were under development for future release. We were hoping to use this more robustly for trade show planning and management, however some of the calendar functions we wanted regarding events/tasks were not yet available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solved our ways to manage contract and remote team members' tasks and workload. Extremely helpful to communicated to cross-functional teams on progress. Also was a simple enough system that freelancers and contract employees could gain access and use with little to no extra training/on-boarding.
Asana
What do you like best about the product?
asana makes timelines pretty easy to visualize and see
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, it was a hard adjustment to get used to and to understand the program. This is the reason for the lower marks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
asana allows everyone on our team keep up to date with deadlines. We just recently started using the program, so as far as long time use, I do not have much to say about that.
Love Asana but wish they'd fix one little thing
What do you like best about the product?
I really do enjoy Asana. It's got an interesting and intuitive UI, it's easy to use and makes sense. While originally used for managing tasks and 1:1's for professional development, we've come to use it as an entire project management software for full implementation projects. The ability to add users outside of my organization so I can send notifications is exactly what my team has been needing for years. While there was some learning curve for the whole team, I found things pretty intuitive and process of building out a project makes sense to me, and templating the projects makes our lives so much easier.
The only caveat I have is that clicking on a line item makes it immediately editable, and this is a huge pain.

What do you dislike about the product?
I really only have one major concern with Asana, and it's a funny one from a UI standpoint. Perhaps other people don't see it this way, but I do.
When I am viewing and managing my tasks in Asana, the one thing that drives me absolutely crazy is that as soon as I click on a line, it's immediately become text-editable. So, any time I just want to click on a line, it goes into this mode and I always end up accidently typing or erasing, or just needing to click out of that box. I love everything else about Asana except for this. It doesn't make sense to me, and probably will not. Perhaps I'm the 1% who hate this feature, but there's gotta be a better way - at least make edit ability a double-click option.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana for project management software. Where this was originally just a task management software for professional development, we've realized this can be used to manage full projects. The features we've found while really building out projects have become a massive help to our team and our clients are reaping the benefits. It's so easy to communicate tasks to clients with this tool, now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While this was originally just given to us as a simple task management software, once we opened it up and started building projects to manage in Asana we realized just how capable it actually is. Where we thought it didn't have a lot of use to us at first, it's now becoming a go-to tool for my team to operate efficiently.
Seems good but can't really get into using it
What do you like best about the product?
I like seeing tasks assigned to me across multiple workstreams and projects
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to sign into and remember to reference yet another tracking tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're managing a large project with multiple workstreams, teammates, and deliverables. The main benefit is having a single place for everyone to know what's going on at any given time
