Asana

Asana, Inc. is a cloud-based work and project management platform developed by Asana, Inc. The company was founded in 2008 by Dustin Moskovitz, one of Facebook’s co-founders, and software engineer Justin Rosenstein, who observed during their time at Facebook that teams wasted significant time on “work about work” such as meetings and email traffic. They set out to build a tool that would enable all teams to coordinate their work more effectively. Asana’s team advocates that all teams—regardless of size (from 1 to over 100,000 people) and purpose—should use the same platform to collaborate on tasks, projects, and goals by unifying them in a single source of truth that clearly shows who is working on what and where, in one consistent format.

Asana occupies a position as a “work management” tool in modern project management approaches. Its purpose is to consolidate teams’ tasks and projects into a single central platform and organize communication within the context of work. In Asana projects are structured hierarchically as tasks and team members track their assigned tasks and projects on the platform. Planning can be conducted at the project level using timelines and boards to visualize project phases and define responsibilities.

Asana supports both traditional (Waterfall) and agile (Scrum/Kanban) methodologies. It is used by diverse teams across disciplines and industries to manage projects and work. Features such as backlog management sprint planning and Kanban boards are designed to support Agile methods for software development teams.
