Alternatives Considered

Notion and Jira Software

Asana provides a mix of features between notion and Jira. Unlike Notion, it helps ease up the collaboration on vast projects and between multiple teams. Jira proved to be a little expensive with similar set of features if not more and which is why we thought of going with Asana.
