Asana is a good application for companies that need their team management for any type of work.

Asana Review 

Running an online business requires a lot of different types of tasks from product creation to social media. I especially like to use Asana for complicated projects like creating an online course. This task benefits from project management because there are a lot of dependencies. For example, you can't launch the sales page until you finish the checkout page, etc.
However for daily to-dos I find something simpler (like pen and paper) is more useful.
I still haven't completely refined my workflow to optimize my use of software.

Intuitive Planning Software - Great for Projects

I love Asana, in regards to upgrades, they are a bit behind Clickup (which is alot more difficult to use)

We Love Asana

I've been using Asana for a year and a half and I absolutely love how it helps me organize my life! I manage multiple projects from within Asana and I really appreciate that it keeps me organized and on track with all of my tasks.

Amazing Project Management Software

Asana - Reliable in task and project management

Asana is a game-changer for staying organized and on top of things! It’s super easy to use, with flexible views like lists, boards, and calendars, so you can manage your projects in a way that works best for you. The collaboration features are a huge win—assign tasks, leave comments, and integrate with your favorite tools like Slack or Google Drive. Plus, the automation and templates save so much time. Whether you’re a solo act or part of a big team, Asana scales perfectly, keeping everyone on track. And the mobile app? Total lifesaver for staying productive on the go!

Asana-a must have! 

My overall experience with Asana with Asana was great! I still continue to use them because they keep me and all my projects on time and everything in my life organized. I have 8 million projects going on at all times and they keep me up to date and me on time, so I don't get lost in what I am doing. Between being a student and a self-employed employed worker Asana is a blessing!

Asana Keeps Life Organized!

We've been using Asana as the engine that runs our company for several years, I can't imagine working without it. 

Asana is the app you are looking for

The beginning is always the most complicated when using new programs. Asana has a very short learning phase and is very self explanatory for most of its features. I went from feeling very overwhelmed with trying to track task progress to now feeling confident in where I am in the process, and can even easily access team progress when sharing tasks with coworkers.

A powerful organization tool for when work gets too complicated

Asana is a huge part of my work experience. I literally spend maybe 15% of my total time at work on Asana, as I work in operations. There are tons of different uses for it, to list a few that I use:
1. Content calendar for email marketing
2. Board for review dates of internal knowledge articles and templates
3. Personal boards for each of our team members listing tasks 
4. Team boards that show each team members list of capacity (overlaps with 3)
5. Meeting boards where anyone is welcome to add a card into a 'to be discussed column' where we discuss ideas in a weekly meeting

Asana - I couldn't work without it

Overall setting up a really great workflow around tasks works really well. You can set up different projects with a timeline view that I found extremely helpful.

Managing Projects

We’re very happy with how asana has increased our team projects work AND individually employee organization. We use it to help manage employees work loads and oversee productivity. This lets us manage without micro managing: so if tasks are getting done and the projects are moving along (as you can see with an “on track” measuring tool) then we are fine trusting our employees to get the work done. This would be much harder to accomplish without a tool like Asana.

Asana changes it workplace for the better

Asana makes it easy to manage group projects.
It is easy to use and helps smaller teams keep track of their work.

Simple managing of teamwork.

Asana helps us to manage tasks with multiple steps and multiple stakeholders need to collaborate and accomplish the task in timely manner. 

Fantastic task management program 

Since I discovered this app, my anxiety has reduced a lot, I feel calmer during the day because I know the STATUS of all tasks, the environment has become more pleasant as communication has become more assertive

 Excellent

My experience with Asana has been overwhelmingly positive. It has become the cornerstone of our project management strategy at Tutorwith.ai, providing a structured and organized approach to handling tasks and projects. the interface and features have allowed us to streamline workflows, improve collaboration among team members, and ultimately deliver projects more efficiently.

 Asana has not only met but exceeded my expectations. It continues to play a crucial role in driving our team's success and ensuring we stay organized and focused on delivering exceptional results.

Asana: A Powerful Tool for Project Management

P.Butt Asana Experience in a Filled Survey

I used Asana for various projects in private and business context. Especially in larger teams or teams with agile workflow Asana is a huge help.

Indispensable tool for larger projects

Really positive it is a cost effective while feature rich platform and now has multi use in our org

Cost effective and Feature Rich 

Very positive - I've used it while working for three separate organizations, and introduced it to co-workers in two of those organizations, and it has ALWAYS changed the way we work for the better!

Asana - it runs my life - and that's a GREAT thing!

I have a positive experience with Asana! I have yet to find the perfect software in general, so it of course is not without its minor flaws. I'd highly recommend this product.

Asana works well when you make it work for you

Asana has been a great tool for project management. It's intuitive once you get the hang of it and really helps streamline team collaboration and task tracking.

How does Asana help a team of affiliate marketing managers?

It used to be very positive, not it is just a money-hungry disappointment.

Where or where did my old Asana go? It went greedy.

It makes our workflow much, much easier and communication much more effective. Our design team is able to stay aligned through their simplified interface, which makes it very simple to track tasks and deadlines. But there have been some occasional glitches, but these are generally minor and do not impede on our productivity.

Integrating Asana For Workflow Efficiency

I love love Asana! It is a highly organizational and efficient work tool. I can manage the entire team as a project manager from anywhere in the world. Though a bit difficult to navigate, it’s one of the best tools for a project manager
