Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I worked as a marketing consultant for some time and was able to manage up to ten projects with Asana at the same time. This service helps to virtually eliminate working with e-mail and work much more efficiently. People in my team know exactly what to do and when to do it. My clients know exactly what is happening with their projects. And I know how to plan my day. Communication is directly related to tasks and results - this is really important.

Pros and Cons

Excellent iOS app (beware of the product for Android)
Free of charge, if you do not need to run a large team into the project.
Smart, intuitive interface
Configurable task repetition settings.
Supports hot keys

There is no Russian language version
No push to the browser
No project templates - this is a big bummer :-(
Not the best visual layout; something like DropTask

Return on Investment

Elimination of the time required for communication between employees
Reducing the time required for meetings
Improve customer feedback on the company's work

Alternatives Considered

Wrike, Bitrix24 and amoCRM

Keyboard control. The ability to view and change the task without opening a new page.

Other Software Used

Google Drive, Bitrix24, Evernote

Likelihood to Recommend

- At least 2 times a day go to the My tasks section and select the Calendar tab to monitor the task status and deadline

- Transfer tasks from work immediately from mail / chat to Asana

- You can not change the date of the task without comment

- If the user performed part of the task and had to transfer it to another responsible person, but forgot to do this, he and the project manager are to blame. If the task was moved to another user after 18:00, you also need to change the date by putting out tomorrow, and indicate the status in the comment to the task

- At the end of the working day there should not be a single task with the date of the current day
