The problem

Teams don't miss deadlines for lack of effort. They miss them because the work lives everywhere.

  1. 01

    Scattered tasks, disconnected tools

    Work is split across inboxes, chat groups and spreadsheets, so nobody sees the whole plan.

  2. 02

    Poor Resource Allocation

    Project managers struggle to understand team capacity, identify overloaded employees and allocate resources effectively.

  3. 03

    Missed deadlines, unclear ownership

    When everyone assumes someone else has it, small delays quietly become missed dates.

  4. 04

    Communication gaps between teams

    Decisions made in one channel never reach the team that has to act on them.

  5. 05

    Limited Portfolio Visibility

    Leadership lacks a consolidated view of multiple projects, making it difficult to identify risks, prioritize initiatives and make decisions.

How Asana solves it

Bring Your Projects Together with Asana

Asana provides a connected environment where project managers, teams and leadership can plan, execute and monitor projects with greater clarity.

Vistar helps organisations configure Asana around their existing project management processes, reporting requirements and organisational structure.

Project Planning and Scheduling

Turn Project Plans into Clear, Actionable Timelines

Successful project delivery starts with effective planning.

Asana enables project managers to structure projects into phases, define milestones, establish deadlines and coordinate activities across teams.

With Timeline and Gantt views, project managers can visualise schedules, understand dependencies and adjust plans when priorities change.

Key capabilities:
  • Project planning and scheduling
  • Gantt charts and Timeline views
  • Project milestones
  • Task dependencies
  • Project templates
  • Project phases and deliverables
  • Schedule adjustments

Business benefit: Improve project planning, coordinate activities and identify potential scheduling conflicts earlier.

Project Tracking and Monitoring

Know Where Every Project Stands

Project managers need reliable visibility into progress without constantly chasing team members for updates.

Asana provides project status updates, dashboards and reporting tools that help teams monitor progress against planned activities.

Project managers can identify incomplete deliverables, monitor milestones and communicate project health to stakeholders.

Key capabilities:
  • Project status tracking
  • Milestone monitoring
  • Project dashboards
  • Progress reporting
  • Custom project fields
  • Project status updates
  • Visibility into overdue activities

Business benefit: Reduce manual follow-ups and improve visibility into project execution.

Project Portfolio Management

Managing individual projects is challenging. Managing an entire portfolio requires an additional level of visibility.

Asana Portfolios help organisations monitor multiple projects from a centralised view.

PMO leaders and executives can review project status, monitor strategic initiatives and identify projects requiring attention.

Key capabilities:
  • Centralised project portfolio visibility
  • Multi-project status monitoring
  • Portfolio dashboards

  • Workload view to balance capacity

As organisations grow, managing projects across multiple teams, departments and locations becomes increasingly complex.

  • 03

    Poor Resource Allocation

    Project managers struggle to understand team capacity, identify overloaded employees and allocate resources effectively.

  • 04

    Disconnected Teams

    Different departments work independently, creating communication gaps and delays in project execution.

  • 05

    Manual Project Reporting

    Project managers spend valuable time collecting updates and preparing reports instead of managing project outcomes.

    Leadership lacks a consolidated view of multiple projects, making it difficult to identify risks, prioritise initiatives and make decisions.
