Features
Work Graph
Asana Work Graph connects every person, task, project, goal and dependency so teams know who is doing what, by when and toward which goal.
AI Teammates
Pre-built AI agents work alongside teams inside real workflows with shared memory, governance and context from the Work Graph, ready from day one.
Multiplayer
Every workflow, app and agent runs in a shared space where humans and agents act on the same plan and see the same context.
Shared memory
AI Teammates learn from completed tasks, feedback and preferences, carrying context forward so each workflow starts with prior knowledge.
Enterprise governance
Every agent has an identity, scoped permissions, an audit trail and cost constraints, all managed from the same console as human accounts.
What users say
Pros
- Keeps budgeting tasks, expense approvals and reporting deadlines aligned in one place without extra status meetings.
- Custom fields and rules automatically sort items, move resolved work and update recurring workflows.
- Risk and issue logs run as a separate project with categories and automatic sorting.
- Paid workspaces have stayed reliable for years of daily project work without data loss.
- Task assignment and project lists are quick to learn from the first session without technical training.
Cons
- The free tier now caps workspaces at two seats, and projects can lock after a trial ends.
- Annual plans renew automatically, cancellations need 30 days' notice and refunds are often refused.
- Help requests draw automated replies and sit for days or weeks without resolution.
- Simple task updates take extra clicks, and the interface feels heavy for everyday use.
- Outages and slow loading block access to tasks across web, desktop and mobile.
