Asana is great for organizing and setting up tasks for multiple teams. It's good for setting up daily and longer-term tasks for employees. It has a very simple team structure. We just had some issues with mobile use but otherwise a fine product.

Asana is the best to manage smaller teams. It's easy for PR and Social to keep track of who is owning which project, etc. I think it's less appropriate when one task has too many people contributing or changing deadlines. Whoever makes the due date should be the only one to change it.

We use the software to manage all of the projects for our marketing department. As the director, I assign a project to an employee and they break it down into smaller tasks that can be shared on the team. Then I can see where a project is at any given point in time.

In my experience, Asana solved a lot of problems where I work, a growing department at a growing company. When we had fewer clients (or small clients) it was easy to work without a friendly project management tool, but when clients got bigger and we started to [have] A LOT our work became messy and stressful. I think it's a well suited tool when your area or your company gets bigger.

Asana is really well suited for IT and agile driven projects where there is not much focus on cost/budget management, but in the scope itself, being very flexible to handle constant changes. At the same time, Asana is not recommended for heavy CAPEX projects where finance is an essential part of management.

I personally feel Asana is suited to marketing teams. It's so much simpler to understand than JIRA. We have tried to get our development team to move over to Asana. However, it doesn't offer as many features as they need, hence their reason to stick with JIRA. This is probably the most frustrating part -- we want everyone to be using one tool, but it's not suited for all teams.

All types of marketing projects suit Asana very well. From running campaigns that have multiple aspects to managing a content calendar and creating content pieces, marketers tend to love Asana for the ability to visually represent their work and plan it in advance.

I know our customer success team also likes to use it for different types of processes, playbooks and handovers for clients as the template feature helps streamline any kind of repetitive work.

It is suited for basic and complex projects. The main issue with Asana, as well as other tools, is that this requires training and commitment to using the tool. Thus, its functionality is limited to the use made by other team members.

Asana is great for organizations that have many people working on many projects, and where you have managers who like to see the big picture when it comes to project management. It's also extremely helpful for orgs where multiple people are working in many projects as a way to easily keep track of progress and to-dos. Smaller organizations may be a bit overwhelmed by how large Asana can get, but it can be used simply or on a larger scale. For some non-profits, specifically churches, you don't qualify for their discounted rate, so upgrading can be quite expensive.

To me, Asana seems like more of a project management tool for teams that have to manage a lot of tasks, with a lot of important details. I don't think Asana is as valuable for personal use, or if you need to manage a few minimal projects every so often.

Asana is great for remote workers, but not so much for small enterprises. It's free for very few users but, let's say when you have 10 employees, you might need a pricier plan, which doesn't always fit small-businesses budgets. But it is always worth it, and Asana helps a lot when keeping tasks on track and documents there.

Asana keeps you on track and helps you prioritize projects and to-dos. I like that you can see what you've previously worked on and accomplished. It's less appropriate for teams who are very active inside their email, like Outlook, and prefer to use the Tasks function already in their email software. Asana is rewarding to teams and helps projects be completed on time.

Asana has proven difficult for our organization to use consistently. The adoption after initial roll-out was very high, but continued usage dropped to nothing over the course of the first year. After a period of disuse, Asana was again recommended and re-deployed to the employees to use. Adoption the second time around was much lower.
What I feel to be the most significant barrier to entry is that Asana is effectively sandboxed and is Yet Another App™ that needs to be used, instead of interfacing seamlessly with the users' existing workflow, and being present wherever and whenever they work.
Even personally, I find that I more often reach to OneNote, To-Do, or even a physical sticky note to file a task and keep track rather than to have to log in to Asana, wait for the painful loading time to complete, find my task, jump to the subtask using an icon that isn't immediately intuitive, and adjust the child tasks as either done, undone, etc. On top of being a completely separate workflow, there is no feedback aside from opt-in emails that need to be created per project/task, as it does not integrate with Windows 10 in any way what-so-ever.

Asana is well suited for big projects that require a group of people to work on at the same time. It is very useful to divide and assigns tasks to each member and track the actions for each task. It has a great chrome extension that always show notification about the current progress of our projects.

For tracking your daily tasks, I'd say Asana is helpful, but honestly, you could use anything to track your tasks. Where it is really helpful is on small, team collaborative projects where you're trying to meet specific goals and deadlines and you want everyone to be able to look and see where the project is landing, who is responsible for what, what needs the highest priority. That is where Asana really has shined for me.

It's free for me to use and is outrageously versatile for what I need. For any small business, that's such a killer proposition so they can save money while maximizing both time and staff needs. I start my day with Asana and I keep up with it through the day.

Asana is well suited for task management. You can assign a person a task, give them a deadline, and make them feel pressured enough as the rest of the team will be notified of progress to his or her task. I would say that Asana is not accurate in telling what % you are to completion.

Asana has done a great job keeping our team on track. We have a lot of projects going at one time, but Asana allows us to clearly lay out the project plan, make sure all stakeholders are on the same page, then assign individuals tasks and deadlines for responsible parties. Asana has helped us streamline our processes and we've been able to get more done in shorter timelines.

Asana is best suited for task-oriented team communications. When managing lots of deadlines and specific job functions within the team, the layout and easy UX helps more tasks get done on time. However, I've seen Asana used in incorrect ways too. Asana should not be used as a brain dump tool or a notes app. Because things can get easily lost when they haven't been assigned to a person.

Asana is perfect for our field of Advancement and Fundraising. Most of our projects are collaborations across departments involving engagement, stewardship, and fundraising. Asana helps my communications team manage our workload by keeping our projects at a glance and on task so we consistently hit our deadlines and always know what stage a project is at.

Well suited for teams whom are located in different areas. We are in different locations but can centralize and engage in the same priorities. Managing long term projects is amazing in Asana as it can be easy to forget about the details. We just create sub tasks for them.
