Work, project, and task management Projects—Organize your work into shared projects as lists or kanban boards for your initiatives, meetings, and programs. Tasks—Break work into manageable pieces for you and your team. Subtasks—Break up a task into smaller parts, or show additional steps to complete an overall task. Task assignees—Give tasks a clear owner, so everyone knows who’s responsible. Sections and columns—Group tasks into sections or columns in a list or board project (respectively) to keep tasks organized, or match your workflow stages. Custom fields—Create drop-down, number, or text custom fields in projects and Portfolios to capture information uniformly, track the status, and to sort and filter information (like spreadsheet columns.) You can also get notifications when custom fields are changed.* Forms—Capture the right details every time for any project brief, requests, and more. Forms are directly connected to projects, so you can track submissions all in one place.* Due dates—Due dates ensure every task gets completed on time. You can view tasks on an Asana calendar, or even your work calendar. Due times—Specify the time something is due so you don’t miss a deadline, and everyone will know when you need it by—no matter their time zone. Start dates—Start dates show when you should begin your work to hit your deadlines without the last-minute scramble.* Timeline—A Gantt-style view of task and project deadlines to help you better plan, see schedules, and hit deadlines.*,† Attachments—Add files from your computer, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or Box to any task or conversation. Likes—Acknowledge a task or comment, say thanks, give a thumbs up, or vote for a task with a like. Tasks in multiple projects—Keep the same task in multiple projects to show work in different contexts without duplicating efforts. Dependencies—Task dependencies make it clear which tasks are ready to start, and which tasks are waiting on others.* Rules—Create rules to automate manual processes like triaging, assigning tasks, updating Asana fields, and more.*,† Templates—All types of teams can get started quickly with templates and reuse them every time they run a project. You can also save your own projects as a template to make sure you never miss a step.* Comment-only projects—Prevent accidental changes to your projects or templates by allowing certain project members to make only task comments, while still giving them access to information in the project.* Approvals—Request and give approvals on work in Asana.
