ASANA - Task Management Review

Today I would like to discuss with you this task management web and mobile application that we've been using for some months now. This is the Asana Application. As I've experienced from our previous task management scenarios, most files and reports gets duplicated and not in its proper order. So fortunately, we manage to get along well with Asana. Not that we already tried working with other online task management application so far but we experienced some smooth sailing with this one.

Asana was developed by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and engineer Justin Rosenstein and was officially launched its beta last 2011. Asana is a collaborative task management application. The product has many features, including Workspaces, Projects, Personal Projects, Tasks, Tags, Notes, Comments and an Inbox  that organizes and updates information in real-time.[1]

As for the environment, it's pretty much User Friendly and there were some guides throughout the interface where you could get an idea on what or how to do things. More of a drag-and-drop functionality but of course you should set some sections on where should you place the proper task like this one.



The set up I did was to have a "Task" section, "Bugs" and "To Check" section. So when one of our members were through with what was assigned to him/her, he would just simply move it to the proper section and if our Test Engineer approves it, then it automatically hits the top shelf addressed as done.

If you ever try to create a project? Do you feel that this would deem necessary?
or for those who have tried it? What are your opinions regarding this topic?
