About Asana

Asana is a work management platform for planning projects, tracking tasks and coordinating teams across departments. Projects can be viewed as lists, boards, timelines or calendars, and portfolios roll many projects up into a single status view. Rules automate routine steps, forms turn requests into tasks, and goals connect day-to-day work to company objectives. It is widely used by marketing, operations and product teams that juggle many parallel projects. A free plan covers small teams, while reporting, timelines and advanced workflows sit on paid tiers.

Best for: Cross-functional teams running many projects in parallel.
