Asana vs Projector PSA

• Due to the fact that our team is bi-coastal, we needed a tool that allowed the East and West Coast teams to communicate deadlines without the need to worry about servers and their slowness to transmit/copy information. Asana is a great tool to do that, since it is web based there is no need for downloads, or worry of server crashes, which often happen here. And of course we love the price...FREE!
• Asana allows us to assign tasks to team members, which they can in-turn inject sub-tasks within, this helps us track where along the process everyone is to make sure we are all hitting our deadlines. The simplicity of the site makes it easy for anyone to use and quickly learn the tool.
• Real time interaction is a huge help. Comments populate instantly which ensures we aren't missing any questions or concenrs and helps eliminate exesive emails.
• Asana is a great product to increase communication within a team and requires very little time to learn, unlike some other Project management tools, which tend to be a lot less user friendly.

• Projector is a very well designed tool for project management. It has allowed us to eliminate a number of auxiliary tools for project timelines and WBS for the vast majority of our projects.
• Time and expense entry is intuitive and quick for our staff.
• Our forecasting and resource management capability has improved greatly with Projector and allows us to grow our team efficiently with minimal additional administrative burden.
• Reporting is extremely robust. It does require some time to really get a handle on the full functionality of the reporting tool, but once you do, you can get almost any kind of report you want out of the system!

• Sort tasks by creation date; tasks are automatically sorted with newest on top and oldest on the bottom. Giving the option to inverse this would be a welcome QOL update.
• Allow tasks added by email integration to be assigned to specific project sections to minimize admin clean up.

• Our utilization appears to have gone up, and appears to be more even amongst the overall team - we have great transparency into what our people are doing
• We have much less 'noise' from our staff on their pain on having to enter time and expenses. This system makes it very easy.
