Asana

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

I have experience with quite a number of project management tools and for most of them, there comes the need to leverage on other software tools for collaboration while managing projects. This is not applicable with Asana, because it takes care of all my teams major collaboration needs around file sharing , task dependencies, group communication , team communication...... All of my teams project communication is done completely within the Asana software environment , and i strongly think this adds a bit of urgency to our overall project speed , making information management a lot easier too.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Integrations are like bread and butter for me , thus am of the opinion that a good software should integrate well with third party technologies. Asana excels in this part and this contributes to expanding the functionality of Asana. A key Asana integration that i currently benefit from is with Slack. This integration automates notifications to be sent to our Slack channel , every time a project or task is updated on the Asana software, thereby improving response time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Impossible to assign the same task to more than one individual on the Asana software. We do bypass this hurdle by attaching sub-tasks into the main task , but that still leaves a single person as the major assignee.
