The challenge

Why work coordination breaks down as organisations grow

Each department picks its own tools and habits. The work gets done, but nobody can see how it fits together.

  • Work scattered across disconnected tools
  • Teams working in silos
  • Unclear priorities and ownership
  • Repetitive manual admin
  • Projects that stall between departments
  • No view of progress across the organisation
  • Goals disconnected from daily execution
  • Status meetings and follow-ups to learn where things stand
The platform

How the Asana work management platform connects strategy, teams and execution

Seven capabilities that combine team productivity software with business process management, all built on the same work data so nothing is entered twice.

Centralised work management

Centralised work management: every project, task and workflow in one place

Replace scattered trackers with a single source of truth that every team can see.

  • Projects, tasks and workflows live in one place
  • Clear owners and due dates on every deliverable
  • One task can sit in several projects, so departments share work without duplicating it

In Asana: projects · list, board, timeline & calendar views · multi‑homing · custom fields

Cross-functional collaboration

Cross-functional collaboration around shared work

Conversations, files and decisions sit on the task itself, with every team that depends on it.

  • Collaborators from any department on one task
  • Dependencies show who is waiting on whom
  • @mentions and comments replace side emails

In Asana: collaborators · dependencies · comments & @mentions · Slack, Microsoft Teams & Google Drive integrations

Workflow management & standardisation

Workflow management software that standardises how work moves

Turn recurring business processes into repeatable workflows, from intake to completion, with ownership defined at every stage.

  • Structured stages for recurring processes
  • Templates keep every team running the same playbook
  • Clear handoffs with built-in accountability

In Asana: workflow builder · forms · approvals · project & task templates · sections

Work planning & prioritisation

Work planning and prioritisation driven by business priorities

Teams see what is committed, what is next and which milestones the business is counting on.

  • Priority, effort and owner on every piece of work
  • Milestones mark the moments that matter
  • Initiatives stay tied to organisational objectives

In Asana: board view · custom fields · milestones · timeline & Gantt

Automation & process efficiency

Business workflow automation that handles the handoffs

Rules run in the background: triggered by an event, checked against conditions, followed by actions. No code required.

  • Assign, route and update work automatically
  • Fewer manual follow-ups between teams
  • More time for work that needs people

In Asana: rules with triggers, conditions & actions · custom rule builder · forms · integrations

Goals & work alignment

Connect organisational goals to the work that moves them

Company goals break into team goals, and team goals link to the projects and portfolios doing the work, so progress updates itself.

  • Track progress towards business objectives
  • Every team sees how its work contributes
  • Spot at-risk goals before the quarter ends

In Asana: goals & OKRs · sub-goals · progress from linked projects & portfolios

Reporting & work visibility

Reporting and work visibility across every team

Dashboards and portfolios turn live work data into a clear picture for managers and decision-makers.

  • Status of projects and workflows in real time
  • Bottlenecks and overdue work surface early
  • Reports built from the work itself, not from manual updates

In Asana: reporting dashboards · universal reporting · portfolios · status updates · Power BI & Tableau connectors

Feature availability depends on your Asana plan. Goals, portfolios, approvals and the custom rule builder are included from the Advanced plan; Vistar helps you choose the plan that fits your processes.

Organisational work management
