Asana's collaboration features, such as team messaging and file sharing, can also help students work together and communicate effectively.

Zalety:

User-Friendly Interface: Asana has an intuitive and user-friendly interface, which can be easy for students to navigate and use. The platform offers a simple, yet comprehensive design that allows students to organize their tasks and collaborate with others effectively. Task Management: Asana's task management features allow students to create and assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress in real-time. This can help me, as a student, stay on top of my assignments and ensure that they are complete on time.

Wady:

Complexity: Asana can be a complex tool, with a wide range of features and customization options. Some students may find the platform overwhelming or difficult to navigate, particularly if they are new to project management software.

Elevating Ad Partnerships: Asana's Impact on Luxury Goods Industry

Komentarze: Asana has generally been a good experience for us because it makes it easier to monitor and organize projects while ensuring that everyone on the team is on the same page. In our sector, where organizing advertising relationships necessitates frequent contact and teamwork, this has been very helpful. Additionally, Asana may be linked with a variety of platforms and programs, boosting its functionality and increasing its value to our company. Integration is essential since it enables seamless data sharing and improved tool efficiency.

Zalety:

One of Asana's best features is its capacity to centralize all project-related data by enabling team collaboration, multiple project views, seamless integration with other platforms we use, like Slack and Google Drive, and easy team member access to the projects. This has significantly enhanced our efficiency overall and streamlined our communication. When several teams needed to coordinate their work throughout a complicated marketing campaign, Asana proved to be quite useful. Asana made it simple for us to monitor our progress and make sure that every work was finished on time, which eventually resulted in a successful campaign.

Wady:

The platform's steep learning curve is one drawback. Our staff required some time to get used to the software and use all of its functions. Additionally, it has to be improved so that the time monitoring tool and reporting options can be used on mobile devices with ease.

Pay Per Seats is misleading, they make you pay for users you don't use

Komentarze: Good before we upgraded our plan and realized they were overcharging us.

Zalety:

Easy to setup, easy to create and assign simple tasks

Wady:

Their payment options are misleading.They promote their pricing based on seats. $24.99/seat/year. But they force you to pay for seats that you don't use.If you have 7 users, you MUST pay for 10+ users. Which will cost us $1000+ per year for literally nothing.Misleading and a terrible customer experience. I would recommend looking at alternatives first, especially if you are a smaller organization looking to be cost efficient.

Why use any other platform to manage projects!!

Komentarze: We love being able to collaborate with our team, share ideas, support and feedback all in one platform :)!

Zalety:

We love how easy it is to setup projects, collaborate and monitor success all in one platform! We also love that it integrates seamlessly with other task management platforms.

Wady:

We have yet to find a fault!! The layout is gorgeous, it's easy to use and we are able to monitor multiple projects all at once!

Useful for tracking, doesn't replace other communication methods

Komentarze: I think this can be an effective project management tool, if project managers and team members are given enough time to input information and stay up-to-date. But the claims that it will make everything faster are not true. It also doesn't necessarily reduce communications. It may simplify some redundant communications if those redundancies are because of needing to communicate in multiple channels about non-urgent items, but urgent and critical information still needs to be communicated thoroughly so it is not overlooked. Overall, I like the project, but think it should be implemented with these understandings as well as a robust training plan.

Zalety:

I love the interface as I'm not inclined to use something that looks unappealing. The templates are easy to customize including the workflows.

Wady:

The projects don't have the kind of visibility that they claim. It is more difficult than many realize to train people to use this who don't think like the system is setup. It is clear for people who think like this but the design isn't really intuitive otherwise. It doesn't replace other methods of communication for critical tasks and project communications, which can be disappointing to some people based on the marketing.

How to implement Asana in your Organization

Komentarze: If you are having issues with your team on being organized and not being able to know where your projects are standing Asana is the software to you, the knowledge base that they provide is so good that if you are a first time user it will help you to setup Asana in the way that you need.

Zalety:

How easy is to configure, train new members, organize task and being able to personalize it the way that way that we need. The notifications are very intuitive and helps us to be connected.

Wady:

I don't see any aspects that I don't like about Asana.

Project management in Asana makes sense to my brain.

Komentarze: Asana is a fairly simple-to-use project management for a solopreneur or a small team. I worked with both and found it easy to navigate.

Zalety:

Asana didn't just help me manage work projects, but it also helped me manage personal tasks . It was so nice to see all my to-dos all in one place. I loved being able to set up repetitive tasks with ease. The way that Asana is laid out makes so much more sense to my brain that other project management apps (like Trello).

Wady:

I sometimes got frustrated clearing out repetitive tasks that I set up but did not check off as being done (i.e. if I missed a day of work, etc.) but I'm not sure there's an easier way...

We used this mostly to work with the design team - not sure why it wasn't used by everyone else too

Zalety:

Task tracking and project management were very easy, also much easier to collaborate and clearly see timelines, etc. One cool feature was that we set up an integration with an email ID where any email IDs would automatically be created as a task on Asana, making it a really simple way to quickly and efficiently store ideas / tasks

Wady:

Nothing really - just that it was only used by one team

Asana is perfect for our growing organization!

Komentarze: Easy to use, great costumer service, understandable plans and options.

Zalety:

It is easy to learn, set up, and implement Asana. Everyone that I have showcased Asana to has loved it and were able to implement it quickly.

Wady:

Honestly Asana offers more than we need since we have an ERP system but we really enjoy all the features and options.

Streamline Your Workflow with Asana

Komentarze: Asana, primarily designed as a project management tool, is not specifically tailored for the entertainment industry. However, it can still be utilized effectively in the entertainment field for coordinating and managing various projects and tasks.In my experience, using Asana for entertainment-related projects has been beneficial, particularly for collaborative efforts and organizing production schedules. The platform's task assignment and deadline features have proven useful for assigning responsibilities to team members, tracking progress, and ensuring that milestones are met.

Zalety:

One of the aspects I liked most about Asana is its intuitive and user-friendly interface. Navigating through the platform and accessing various features is a seamless experience. The clean design and well-organized layout contribute to a clutter-free workspace, allowing users to focus on their tasks and projects without unnecessary distractions.Another standout feature is the flexibility and customization options provided by Asana. The ability to create custom templates, workflows, and task dependencies allows users to tailor the platform to their specific needs and work processes. This level of customization ensures that Asana can adapt to various industries, project types, and team structures.

Wady:

While Asana has numerous strengths, there are a few aspects that could be improved. One of the areas that I found to be less satisfactory is the reporting and analytics capabilities. While Asana provides basic reporting features, such as progress tracking and task completion rates, the depth of insights and advanced analytics options is somewhat limited. For users who require more sophisticated data analysis and reporting, they may find themselves needing to integrate Asana with external reporting tools.

Asana Review

Komentarze: We have really been able to streamline processes using asana. Also, being able to really have one place to house all info about a project. I also love using the workload feature. This way I can work with sales to see who needs more work and who is about to go on overload.

Zalety:

User friendly, ability to use minimal features to as in depth as you want. This helps a lot for my Executives that don’t need to know the ins and outs. Also, the training videos help tremendously to on-board a new employee who has never used the software before. I don’t have to come up with my own.

Wady:

Still waiting on Forms that can be created and used at a Team level and not just a project level. I’d love to be able to do more automation with in the software itself. Right now I have to use google forms and zapier to do any if/then functionality.

Only one issue....

Komentarze: Overall I have had a great experience. I rarely need support so not really sure what to say there. The one thing I did ask for (working with Google Aliases) they refused to do, so I guess if you are good with their program as is, you will be fine. Just don't expect them to go above and beyond to work with you.

Zalety:

I have been using Asana since 2013 and have taken it with me to each job I have had since. I love the adaptability of the program. I'm able to use it as a daily task list and can use it to manage a team and a project. They have a lot of ready-made templates that you can use, or you can create your own to use repeatedly like for a board meeting or other projects that have the same tasks each time. I constantly am recommending it to other Executive Assistants as it tends to play well with most programs.

Wady:

The main complaint I have is that it does not work with Google Aliases. So if your company has a main address, but uses aliases for different departments it will not recognize the alias which means you can't email the project or tasks in Asana. It's not a deal-breaker, but it is a hassle. I've seen many complaints about this but Asana is deaf to them and refuses to correct this. That leads to the arrogance that tends to come through for items like this and attitudes towards religious non-profits, I find it rather sad as it is a really good program, but they are comfortable with it and not willing to help...

Asana for Digital Agencies

Komentarze: I solved the workload of every member of my team and the priority of each task. I was able to have a clear and open vision of the situation with each client and deliver their requests on time. It was very helful to us.

Zalety:

I used Asana for 1-2 years while I was working on a Social Media Agency. It helped me a lot to organize my team. I was able to track all the tasks in their differents stages and also I could know the workload of every member of my team. Also I integrated Asana with my Gmail and created tasks from there, very easy and quickly.

Wady:

When I started using Asana, I had trouble copying and pasting images directly from the email body. Then when they achieved integration with Gmail, this was resolved. Also, email notifications were quite annoying until I learned how to disable them. Maybe they could add a feature to only send email notifications for important tasks.

Asana is my ABSOLUTE GO TO for task and project management

Komentarze: I switched from Trello to Asana and I truly enjoy using Asana almost because I feel there is a gamification feeling in getting my daily wins accomplished. I literally look at Asana at least 5 times per day and almost always before I end my day to see what my plan of action will be for tomorrow.

Zalety:

The fact that I can manage my daily tasks seamlessly both on my desktop computer and on my iPhone mobile application.

Wady:

Sometimes the copy and paste function doesn't work as I would like it to to take a similar task, copy it and then modify it. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

A Comprehensive Review of its Task and Project Management Features

Komentarze: Asana is a comprehensive tool for task and project management. It provides a wide range of features that can help teams collaborate and communicate more effectively, streamline their workflows, and track progress in real-time. Asana is a great tool for team collaboration, it offers a wide range of features that enable users to manage tasks and projects, communicate with team members, and track progress in real-time. It's intuitive, flexible, and easy to use, and the ability to customize fields and labels, automate repetitive tasks, and track progress, enables teams to improve their productivity and work more efficiently.

Zalety:

Collaboration and communication. - You can easily assign tasks to team members, add comments to tasks, and attach files. Organizational capabilities - The ability to create custom fields and labels, use the calendar view and timeline, the ability to establish dependencies, and the Portfolio feature, all help in keeping your tasks and projects organized and easy to access.Real-time updates - any changes made to a task or project are immediately reflected across all members of the team. This helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page and can prevent delays or misunderstandings.

Wady:

Limited customization options - not able to fully customize the tool to their specific needs. Limited integrations - the number of integrations is still limited compared to other tools like monday.com. This may limit the ability of some teams to fully integrate Asana into their existing workflows and tools.

Best Platform for Project/Team Management

Komentarze: Initially it was a bit overwhelming to set up and sort through all of the features and uses, but once you work with your team and figure out a system it is hands down the most useful and intuitive workspace / task management platform. There are always new features and integrations to be learned which is great to experiment and use as you grow with the platform.

Zalety:

The best part about Asana is how customizable it is in so many different facets, you can really tailor it to the needs of your specific team and project. The amount of functions that it has and its ability to integrate other apps and services within it makes it extremely versatile and intelligent once you customize it to all of your needs. I also enjoy that there is a mobile app version.

Wady:

With all of its endless functionality tools - it can be a bit daunting in setting up the ideal layout and structure of use for your team. There are so many options and features that can make the software seem almost too sophisticated and complicated for everyday use. Not exactly user friendly up front, but once you figure it out and are patient in working out tailoring your workspace it is very useful and covers all bases.

Good software with room for improvement

Komentarze: Asana is a recommendable tool for task management with a very comforting surface. It is easy to handle and set up projects, tasks and teams. It though lacks some useful features that other task management tools like JIRA or teamwork offer.

Zalety:

Asana is very well designed and has a really nice optical appearance. It helps to structure projects, timetables and priorize tasks in an easy understandable way. It offers a good mobile solution with the Asana app.

Wady:

Although it regularly sets up new features and helpful improvements, some features that are essential to me are missing: - The overview of my tasks is a list that can not be sorted in many ways. It only offers to select from project, due dates and likes. I would prefer a sorting by due date connected with the priority of the tasks or due date connected with projects. As I often have up to 15 or 20 tasks per day it would be great to sort them more accurately. - I miss the possibility to priorize tasks independently from their project. E. g. a task is assigned to my within a project and marked there with the priority medium. It though has high priority among my personal due tasks. - Dependencies (not sub-tasks) cannot be set between different tasks. I would like to have the possibility to set a task as dependent on the completion of another task.

Excellent for self-tracking or collaborative work

Komentarze: Like I mentioned, Asana is one of the tools I naturally use everyday, and often encourage other colleagues or students to use as well. It is my to-do list as well as my project tracker, collaboration tracker, and "don't forget to do this/brainstorms for the future" tracker

Zalety:

I love that Asana can act as a daily task/project manager but is comprehensive enough to plan for future projects and collaborative work. It is a tool that is intuitive enough that I want to use it every day, but not so simple that I only use it for to-do lists. Any time I start collaborative work with other people at different institutions, I always push for us to use Asana as the organizing platform.

Wady:

The subscription and use of the paid services could be more clear; it isn't easily understandable who has to pay for a subscription if the use of it will be shared across people from different institutions. Also, the pricing settings could be more accessible for 1 or 2-person teams, because at the moment it is mostly geared for groups and businesses (which admittedly makes sense)

Fantastic task management software!

Komentarze: I started using this software at a previous job then, when starting here, quickly found out that not all task-management tools are created equal. The one we were using was not very functional and people tasks were constantly getting lost in the shuffle. The other website designer that started after me had also used Asana before so we started using it to manage the development of the site we were designing. We told another team about it and they started using it as well. It eventually caught on and we convinced the higher-ups to purchase an upgraded plan and implemented it company wide. There are so many great features. It's impossible to narrow down my favorite. But I will say that it makes managing tasks so easy and helps my addled brain stay organized and focused. There are different modes for how you view your tasks allowing users to choose one that they prefer. For example, there's a calendar view, a list view, a Trello-type layout, and more. I also LOVE that it's offers so much flexibility in how tasks are organized. You can set up different teams and assign certain people to be in those teams. Within the teams you can create projects, then breaks those down into tasks. Within the teams you can create multiple levels of subtasks - for example, a subtasks inside a subtasks inside the main task. This is a really great feature for me, being a website designer, because there are so many steps involved in creating a site.

Zalety:

What's not to like?! The customer service is great, there are multiple training videos to help you learn about all the different features and how to use them, it's GREAT for staying organized when you have a million different projects you are working on at once, it makes delegating projects and tasks very easy... Beyond all the great task-related features, one of my favorite things is the quirky animations - when marking complete on a task you'll occasionally get a celebratory animation (kind of a geeky, digital pat on the back) my favorite being a unicorn that flies across your screen. This is obviously not something that's necessary or a way to help users stay more organized, but it is fun and adds a little extra flair to the software. (Yes, it's the little things that excite me. 😆)

Wady:

As with any software that is customizable and has a lot of features, there is a learning curve to using Asana. There are so many different settings and features, it can take a while to learn the ins and outs of using it. But, as I already said previously, they provide a plethora of training videos and have excellent customer service when you need to contact them. One specific thing I wish was different is how the repeating tasks are set up. As of now, when a task is set to repeat, the next task doesn't show up until the previous one has been marked as complete. It would be nice to see all the repeating tasks (especially in the calendar format) so you can get an accurate view of all the tasks you have coming up for the upcoming months. It's not a major inconvenience, but something I would suggest that the developers implement in a future update.

Asana keeps me organized!

Komentarze: Switching to Asana made it easier for me to set goals, track my progress, and stay ahead of the game when it comes to managing my case load.

Zalety:

Asana helps me keep on top of the tasks, due dates, and sub-tasks that I need to be getting done. Unlike other case management/time management software, Asana actually works! Being able to see everything in one place helps me be able to better prioritize my tasks and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Wady:

This is a very small thing, but one of the only things I have found that I do not enjoy is when I am on my list of tasks I am unable to move all tasks within a Section at once. I can move the Section title, but then I need to move every task individually. I wish I could drag and drop things around in batches.

Workflows for dummies!

Komentarze: Asana is a great platform for designers and marketing teams but may not the perfect solution for more business-finance oriented individuals. Asana feels like an upgraded Basecamp and Zoho with pretty visuals, fun integration, and task/priority management in a nutshell.

Zalety:

Asana's visually engaging and provides an easy at-a-glance view of projects depending on the template you've chosen for a group/project. In addition, its customization allows for easy task management and tailoring to your organizations needs.

Wady:

As a newer user, I found that also having too many options made me feel some decision fatigue. I wasn't sure which template to pick but it took some experimenting and onboarding with Asana's team to figure out what worked for my organization. We currently use it for marketing projects internally and it is being used daily which has been helping workloads and making sure that the team is aware of what is going on.

Asana General Review

Komentarze: Overall I really love working in Asana. It's easy to use, very intuitive, and solved a huge business need, which was really streamlining our project process and organizing team assignments. I think there's tons of room for growth. I also really like all the online resources they provide - I bookmark articles and tips all the time.

Zalety:

The collaboration opportunities this platform offers is excellent. I also really like being able to assign users are contributors or comment-only. That has been helpful when working with clients who get a little overzealous with their task assigning. Obviously the look and feel are great - it's very intuitive to someone who uses collaborative tools (ie. similar to Basecamp). I also love the drag and drop file archive - we use this feature even more than Dropbox because all aspects of the project can live in one place. The more I can keep my team in this system working, and finding what they need independently, the better.

Wady:

Not being able to assign the same task to two people is a pain. I don't want to duplicate the task because that clutters up my project space and can cause confusion (esp when I have a ton of moving parts). . So the option to have two people responsible for the same task would be ideal. I've had issues with the dependency feature as well. It's not super intuitive - though it's a feature I'd like to use because I'd like to trigger team members to start on certain work once a task is completed - it would make my job as the Sr. PM easier. Maybe blowing out the dependency functionality is something to look into. One thing I hear ALOT from clients and team members is accessing links from their Asana email notifications. They will click a link and be taken to just that specific task, but they don't understand where that task lives because the project tags aren't obvious enough. If the links could open up the full project with the list or kanban view on the left, and the open task on the right, that would be hugely helpful. Resourcing is a huge issue for our company so I would love to see something about resource management implemented in the future. I would pay double to have a solid resourcing/traffic view in Asana.

Intuitive, Powerful, and Beautiful To Do App

Komentarze: Asana has allowed our office to both keep extremely flexible and extremely specific project to-do lists. It also allows us to keep our conversations about an issue or project in one place, archived for all time. Additionally, we are able to keep reference information about each project in Asana, creating one central place to check for details, status, and tasks on each project.

Zalety:

Asana is extremely easy to implement in an office. The design is clean and intuitive and feels very familiar and easy to use from Day 1. Love the ability to create tracking boards or lists, depending on what my need is; and the ability to switch between both of these views is a huge plus. The animations are a delight. Love the Chrome and Gmail plug-ins, I use those multiple times a day. I liked Asana so much that I implemented it at home to keep our family on track and organized.

Wady:

I wish there was the ability to personalize the skin of the app more -- different backgrounds for the desktop, stickers. I also wish that Asana could integrate with electronic planners to replace their to-do list function.

Amazing control with Asana

Komentarze: From my personal experience, I managed the marketing and sales team at Indaxia for three years across the Asana platform including social media and the company website.
Asana allowed me to save a lot of time and cost since our eight sub-centers are hundreds of miles apart, and I was able to juggle different tasks such as supervising contract graphic designers, reviewing sales reports for sales staff and even running various meetings with the help of the Zoom platform
During the pandemic, unlike many companies, our company's performance never declined because we were used to working across Asana before the Covid pandemic and in great coordination, so we were fully prepared to deal with such a situation.
With the exception of some minor modifications, I see Asana as one of the most prominent platforms that provide the user with an integrated and exceptional experience in its category.

Zalety:

In fact, the most distinctive thing about Asana is its integration as an application, which allows it to have complete control over all aspects of your projects and even your personal life, arranging your priorities and organizing your time and work team as you see fit. The interface of the application is very beautiful and distinctive, easy to use, whether from the phone or the computer, a very consistent design and a very successful selection of colors, which creates visual comfort. Multiple options in organizing and categorizing your documents, enabling linking to websites and social networking sites and managing them through the platform is very useful for emerging businesses or even large organizations to save time and costs and ensure timely commitment in performing the required work. Asana's performance reports are really impressive, and allow you to monitor your performance and that of your team as a whole and easily diagnose and remedy problems if any exist.

Wady:

In such applications, I really like that there is flexibility in controlling the background and modifying it to suit the tastes of users, and the point here is that the application allows the user to add pictures of his company or his work team or anything related to the user as a background to the application, this really enhances the sense of belonging to users I really hope that in the future Asana will devise a way to remind users of upcoming deadlines through automated phone calls, as email is often not useful in circumstances of heavy tasks and messages I also like to always remind the importance of direct linking with other business platforms such as delivery platforms, freelance, and others, in order to meet all the needs of users through the platform, and this will be by investing strongly in the development of suggestion and recommendation systems because it is really a necessary feature for this type of platforms

Massive learning curve; inconsistent concepts

Komentarze: A lot of asana is neat. But I have so many pain points. To illustrate this, look how many help videos you have. I don't think a product like this should require someone to sit down and watch 15 videos.
Difficult to grasp. I've had collaborators I've invited in persevere with it then tell me "I'm sorry, I hate asana". Eg the 'inbox'. They can see parts of a conversation, so it looks just like the task's own thread except all their own contributions are missing. Suggest you make the inbox view much leaner. Eg2 conversations. With the various people I've worked with it's been more confusion, at least initially I'm still not clear on who sees what and who gets notified of what when there are teams and people direct on projects. And having to assign someone to a project after removing them, so that I can unprovision them? That was awkward When I went to a billed plan, my scheduled webex/gotomeeting session was a no show The space distribution of the ui is out. Why when I close the left projects pane does the list view (left) pane take up more than half the width of the screen, leaving not much for the actual details?? My main screen is Mac laptop, 1280x800 but it's the same on 1920x1080 where the list pane should be much narrower than the detail The tool gears itself to power users by requiring memorising hot keys for formatting, no buttons for new users. In itself this is ok, but then it's too basic because it doesn't support hyperlinks. Hyperlinks. Like from the 1990's. Just put in markdown support please
Because of the formatting limits the knowledge base I want to set up is crippled. We're used to Confluence in the past and am poised to move that content over to Confluence If I have a task nested 2 tasks deep, I have to move it to the project, then back down into the other parent I want it in. How about a copy dock somewhere I can put it while I'm moving or something? Do folk get notified of new task when I move a task to project level? Where's my 'recently viewed' list? Navigating and searching are sloow, maybe not in a SF office, but elsewhere. I'd like quick view drop down of stuff I've viewed lately and favorited tasks Sorry to bitch about this. It has nice features. To be honest probably part of our problem is we're not all fulltime on this, so the learning curve for them takes longer to overcome. But getting externals to jump in and do certain bits is useful for us, so as it is now, if I was starting over, I wouldn't use asana
