What is Asana?
Asana is a project management and work coordination platform used by teams to plan, organize, and track work from start to finish. Founded in 2008 by Dustin Moskovitz and Justin Rosenstein (both former Facebook engineers), Asana is used by over 135,000 organizations including Google, Spotify, and Amazon.
Asana organizes work into Projects (lists or boards of tasks), with Tasks that have assignees, due dates, subtasks, dependencies, and custom fields. Teams can view work in List, Board, Timeline (Gantt), Calendar, or Workload views depending on what they need to see.
Asana's Rules feature automates repetitive actions like assigning tasks, moving cards, or sending notifications when conditions are met. Portfolios provide a cross-project view of all work, and Goals connect day-to-day tasks to company-level objectives.
How to get started with Asana

Create your free workspace
Sign up at asana.com — the free Personal plan supports unlimited tasks, projects, and messages for up to 10 people. Paid Starter plans ($10.99/user/month) add timeline, custom fields, and advanced reporting.

Create your first project
Choose a project template (editorial calendar, product launch, event planning) or start blank. Set your default view: List for task management, Board for kanban-style flow, or Timeline for scheduling with dependencies.

Add tasks with context
Create tasks with descriptions, assignees, due dates, and subtasks. Attach files, link to other tasks as dependencies, and add custom fields (priority, status, project phase) relevant to your workflow.

Set up sections and milestones
Organize tasks into sections (e.g. Planning, In Progress, Review, Done). Mark key deliverables as Milestones so they stand out in the Timeline view as important checkpoints.

Automate repetitive work
Use Asana Rules to automate actions: auto-assign tasks to a team member when they move to a section, send a Slack notification when a task is overdue, or set due dates relative to a project start date.

FAQs on Asana
Commonly asked questions about Asana. Have more? Reach out and our team will be happy to help.
Is Asana free?
Yes. Asana's Personal plan is free for up to 10 users with unlimited tasks, projects, and messages. The Starter plan ($10.99/user/month billed annually) adds Timeline, custom fields, Rules, and unlimited dashboards.
What is the difference between tasks and subtasks in Asana?
Tasks are top-level work items in a project. Subtasks break a task into smaller steps and can have their own assignees and due dates. Subtasks are useful for tracking the individual steps needed to complete a larger deliverable.
Can Asana handle project dependencies?
Yes. Asana lets you mark tasks as dependent on other tasks — so the dependent task is marked as 'waiting' until its predecessor is completed. Dependencies are visible on the Timeline view and help identify blockers.
Does Asana have a mobile app?
Yes. Asana's iOS and Android apps let you view, create, and update tasks, comment, and check your inbox from your phone. The mobile experience covers most daily task management needs, though complex project setup is easier on desktop.
How does Asana handle workload management?
Asana's Workload view (paid plans) shows how many tasks are assigned to each team member in a given week. You can see who is overloaded and reassign work directly from the workload view to balance capacity.
Does Asana integrate with Slack?
Yes. Asana's Slack integration lets you create tasks from Slack messages, get notified of task updates in Slack, and preview task details without leaving Slack. You can also complete tasks and update statuses directly from Slack.
