NOTE: I don't know anyone who works at Asana, I have no relationship at all with the company, investors, etc. I am purely a happy user. Our organization (Kiip.me) has been using Asana for a couple months now. We've tried a variety of tools for task management and project planning: Basecamp, GitHub issues, Pivotal. With each of these tools, up until Asana, we didn't find it helped our team very much. Asana has changed all that. Our whole team, including BD/Sales, have been using Asana to coordinate various tasks. The biggest thing: Asana is _fast_. It doesn't get in your way! You can tab over and add a task in less than the time it takes to even load the tasks page on something like BaseCamp. Some additional features that make it great: * Followers - You can add followers to a task if you want other people involved. This emails them and notifies them of the task. * Comments - Comment streams are very nice. They provide a nice timeline of activities happening on a task. * Keyboard shortcuts - I never touch the mouse in Asana. Ever. And this increases productivity by tons. You can fly around multiple projects, tasks, etc in seconds. So there is some reasoning behind our use of Asana, here are some reasons we didn't like other options: * BaseCamp - Had all the features we wanted, but it got in the way too much. No keyboard shortcuts, slow page loads, etc. Taking 30 seconds to add a task == too slow. * GitHub issues - All the issues are on each separate repo. It is difficult to quickly navigate between them and to get other people in the company to look at them. * Pivotal - The UI was completely non-intuitive to us and didn't jive with the way we wanted to work. We didn't want a tool that forced us to work with IT, we wanted a tool to work with US. That being said, I wish there were some other features that Asana would implement: * Dependent tasks - It is not possible right now to have a hierarchy of tasks towards various goals. This makes it weird to have one big task that is like "Ship the whole product v1" then have a ton of little tasks that are related but not obviously so. * Multiple assignees - There are some tasks that just make sense to have multiple assignees. Hope that helps. Mitchell
