Overall Satisfaction with Asana
Originally, our Marketing Team started out using Asana, which then rolled out to the entire organization based on how effective it was in managing projects and daily tasks. Speaking specifically about Marketing, we have so many different tasks to complete each day, and before Asana, task management was handled using a combination of my Email Inbox and a notepad on my desk -- obviously, Asana completely solved that outdated task management problem.
Pros
- Collaboration: Asana is a huge time-saver for each team member to be able to see what everyone is working on, in regards to the status, due date, etc.
- Task Management: Asana makes task management easy. I have one monitor dedicated to my Asana Tasks screen, and I always know what needs to be worked on and what's coming up.
- Efficiency: The ability for team members to easily assign tasks to one another, with notes, due dates, etc. is so much easier and faster than communicating these details via Email or in a meeting. This makes things more efficient for me, so I can stay more focused on the work at hand.
Cons
- I would like the ability to block available due dates when co-workers assign me tasks. For example, if I am going to be out of the office for 7 days, 3 months from now, I would like to set those 7 days as unavailable. Then when co-workers go to assign a task to me, they do not select those dates, and understand I will not be able to complete any work during that time frame. This resolves the issue of wasting time having to go back and forth messaging one another or figuring out a more accurate due date when it could have been avoided from the start.
- We do not use Asana for any type of ROI. It is more a required tool to get work done more efficiently and with more organization.
