Overview

What is Asana Agentic Work Management?

Agentic Work Management is Asana’s approach to running work with humans and AI agents on the same plan. Rather than keeping AI-generated answers separate from execution, Asana connects agents with the projects, tasks, goals and dependencies where teams already collaborate. The Work Graph provides context, while permissions and review steps help keep people in control.

  1. Coordinate people and AI Teammates within shared projects.
  2. Automate request intake, classification, routing and updates.
  3. Surface decisions, blockers and priorities without chasing status.
  4. Connect supported AI assistants to real Asana work.

How it works

How agentic work moves from request to result

  1. 1. Capture the request

    A brief or service request enters Asana through a form, task or supported integration.

  2. 2. Organize and route

    AI Studio can classify the request and route it according to the workflow configuration.

  3. 3. Assign meaningful work

    An AI Teammate helps research, draft, summarize or coordinate the next action.

  4. 4. Review and approve

    People validate outputs and retain control over decisions that require approval.

  5. 5. Track progress

    Tasks, milestones and project reporting provide visibility into execution and outcomes.

Illustrative workflow; exact steps depend on the implementation.

Asana also states that its AI partners do not use customer data to train their models.

Availability and configuration of individual controls should be validated for the customer’s plan.

  • Scoped permissions
  • Audit trails
  • Spend controls
