Participation in projects with asana
What do you like best about the product?
In my personal opinion the tool Asana helped me to carry my projects in the most efficient way, this is the way in which the projects are structured in this application, you are shown every project step or stage as a sub task, which in turn has sub sub tasks, in this way to go doing each of the tasks almost without realizing you will see that you concluded that project that you thought would take too much time and would involve a lot of work, plus my bosses to be placed as followers of the tasks can be reviewing my progress, also I must also highlight the way in which asana is integrated to perfection with tools such as instagant which allows you to see the progress and status of your project in a graphic way
What do you dislike about the product?
When reviewing about tools as efficient, complete and powerful as it is Asana, it is very complicated to get negative aspects or disagreements, since this tool meets the expectations of any project team or any company, or at least that is my perception, Asana allows you to segment the different projects and follow up on all of them in a very simple way, I think that very few tools in the market have all the benefits or qualities that Asana has
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At corporate level we have used Asana in the past, and it has been very pleasing to us since among other things it has allowed us to: design the projects in a way that is easier to understand for those who will execute the different tasks, since sometimes it is difficult to understand project structures if you are not project manager or something like that, also allows project managers to follow each of the stages or phases of these, and also allows through its integration with instagant see graphically the status current in order to deliver reports or reports to the clients that requested this project
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation is simple, use asana to manage your projects and you will see how it increases your efficiency to develop these
Easy collaboration in person and remotely
What do you like best about the product?
I love how tasks can be assigned to a specific individual with a due date, and that there are differentiated, dedicated spaces for details and notes in addition to to-do list action items.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited privacy for users without premium. Also, that tasks disappear when they are completed - sometimes it's nice to keep a backlog.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We frequently have research assistants coming in for regularly scheduled shifts, and instead of disrupting my workflow to ask for the day's tasks, they can manage their own productivity by seeing what's in store for for them for the entire week.
Asana has also become a communal note-taking space, so we use it as a living manual of how to function in our workspace answering questions like logins and password information, lists of who to contact for what, due dates for renewing certain licenses and certifications, etc. It really streamlines the transfer of knowledge between new and old staff members.

Asana is user friendly and collaborative
What do you like best about the product?
I love the collaborative aspect of Asana as a task manager. My team and I can collaborate on projects and see each other's progress. The deadlines and ability to assign tasks to my teammates keeps our projects on schedule and has definitely made our office more productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I will loose track of tasks in Asana when I do not put a deadline on the task. This, could be avoided if I used the deadline function on all tasks but sometimes I do not need a deadline on a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Asana as a way to keep our projects on track and as a way to brainstorm new projects and keep track of ideas we come up with in our meetings. It gives us a collaborative space to brainstorm and optimize our tasks and projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would consider using Asana if you are interested in collaborating more effectively with your team and prioritizing tasks. The ease of use makes it a great option for all types of teams - and for personal use!
Cross Functional Collaboration and Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
How it can be used for different functions. Engineering needs are often at odds with other functions like Marketing, but Asana allows both teams to be in the same project management tool which is key.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is steep and there are some great features that are one price tier above ours. Unfortunately, right now there are not enough features to justify moving one more tier above what we are already paying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our whole team has really taken to Asana very quickly. Moving everyone to Asana has not been the normal case of pulling teeth and constant reminders. It has increased visibility across and the organization and we hope it will increase productivity over time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You have a lot of flexibility, but will still need to communicate clearly when different teams use Asana together. This has been key in making sure our process is clear
Project management with Asana
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most about asana is its agile interface and the integration it can have with other tools such as instagantt, they definitely make project management something easier to follow, carry and execute, it is enough to just create the tasks, assign them to a analyst and place the main person responsible for the project as a follower, so that the latter ensures that everything is fully accomplished. Tools like asana are so powerful that they are used in the largest technology companies that exist in the world.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reality is that when talking about a tool like Asana there is little that can displease, since as mentioned, anmtes is a super complete tool in addition to powerful. If there are small details that could be improved, such as when creating a task, there should be an option that allows to place the followers of the same in all sub-tasks without having to manually add sub-task by sub-task. only one that could limit as possible improvement, of rest the tool works very well
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically Asana allows us to solve projects within our organization, but more in detail we can follow up on the activities carried out by each of the analysts, verify the documentation of each of these activities in the comments of the tasks, and we also validate that the established times for each one are fulfilled, additionally thanks to the integration that the asana has with the tool instagantt we can observe graphically the progress of our projects in order to give our clients better detail
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My recommendation to companies that are evaluating whether to implement asana or not, or that are looking for a tool that fails them project management is to try asana and I guarantee that they will be highly satisfied, you will see how it is streamlined and a little easier the management of the projects thanks to the friendly interface that the tool has and the amount of options it has
Everything all in one place
What do you like best about the product?
I can quickly and easily set a task, recurring task or add a project and then not worry about it until it comes up again on my dashboard. When I use the tags and tag colors I can quickly identify and categorize tasks and even see them on different calendars.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to know some simple tricks to quickly and easily set up a project. The trick is that you have to put a colon (:) after a task name to make it a project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage all the tasks for managing 100+ client websites and social media updates single-handedly. But, I can easily add a team member and assign them tasks when I need to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I use the color coding as well as tagging to allow me to see the tasks that I can't let slide. I recently switched to looking at tasks in the calendar format and I prefer this view.
You Will Wanna Use Asana
What do you like best about the product?
This is one of my favourite programs to use at work. Firstly it makes organizing my schedule a breeze and I am able to track of what my deadlines are and I take great satisfaction in ticking off tasks that I have complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how it send me an email every time I create a task. I know I created so I don't need to be reminded. It ends up filling up my inbox unnecessarily . It make sense to let everyone know but I just personally don't like that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has definitely helped us to stay on tract. I am able to assign tasks to the videographer so he is able to get footage and photos on time. It has helped me be more prepared for meetings which in turn has helped me be more professional and ready for unexpected things. I am able to take notes during meetings which helps me to remember everything I need to get done that week.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is definitely worth using if you want to stay professional and get tasks done on time!
Asana is the app I use every day, all day.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana's app has completely changed how we get work done. The flexibility and power throughout the app allow us to cross-reference tasks across projects, track custom metadata, build reports via their powerful export and data sync functionality, and is lightweight enough to manage my day-to-day task list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wielding the power of Asana as a new user can be overwhelming. It was sometimes difficult to understand when we should use tags versus metadata (Asana calls them Custom Fields), but I team stuck with it and figured out for ourselves what works best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Asana to track, estimate, and keep records on sprint tasks. We moved from an archaic platform that didn't provide the functionality we needed. The old platform required us to perform a lot of manual work. Asana has converted the energy we wasted on manual task curation to focusing on the WORK rather than "the thing that tracks our work."
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Onboarding is the hardest part. Also be willing to experiment, but be thoughtful about the pros and cons of certain features. Some feature may not be for you, and it's okay to not utilize whatever you don't need.
Asana allows you to do numerous tasks from one place
What do you like best about the product?
Asana is an excellent way to see how powerful a tool is to keep track of personal tasks or those that require multiple people. You can create detailed tasks that you can assign to yourself and other members of your team to easily notify them. You can have different shortcuts for the different things that we have to do during a day at the office is really advantageous.
What do you dislike about the product?
We believe that it needs a little more development so that it can become an application with sufficient organizational capacity for large-scale projects. Assigning tasks is a bit slow. The team has more capabilities than our team uses, and I'd love them to do something like a monthly webinar about new features and "how to use the new features." Apart from that, I love this software!We believe that it needs a little more development so that it can become an application with sufficient organizational capacity for large-scale projects.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana eliminates problems of communication, organization, assignment of bring, and reminds you about the most important tasks, only with a simple but powerful software where you have each tool at your fingertips
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is an excellent product, therefore, it is recommended, however, Asana has some frustrating limitations such as including people in certain parts of a task, making sure that people do not feel overwhelmed by the details of those who do not have to be part and attaching work files can be painful to the point that, if the basic guidelines are not met, your team may feel exhausted by the software and simply stop using it.
Awesome for managing a team of international freelancers
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of posting tasks and managing deadlines, and e-mail reply function for responding to posted tasks. Also the ability to check off tasks as completed.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing has come up, the only minor thing I could mention would be the way some e-mail notifications only link you to view the task, not to access the actual dashboard, so you have to open a separate tab and log in separately. No big deal, just a minute or two wasted when the view task could link directly to the dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to manage all tasks and deadlines centrally among multiple freelancers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Watch the tutorial videos available on YouTube to familiarize yourself with the dashboard.
