Asana News: The Right Choice to Manage IT Projects, Software Every Marketing Grad Should Know, and more

3 Reasons Asana is the Right Choice to Manage IT Projects

asana-news-recap-093016-1Asana is my choice for managing IT projects. I’ve managed big IT projects for large government agencies and financial institutions. Indeed, I wish Asana had been available to use on those projects. However, I was stuck using MS Project. That’s a nightmare I don’t wish to experience again. I’ve used Asana to manage projects since then.

Asana and other Software Every Marketing Grad Should Know

asana-news-recap-093016-2I’ve met plenty of people in the marketing space, new and experienced alike, that don’t have experience in or knowledge of even some of the most basic tools. In fact, I’ve met people that have never used a CMS.

If you’re a fresh graduate in particular, I really think there is no excuse for not having sampled at least some of the commonly used and freely available marketing tools on the market. In your career, it’s […]

Asana News: Tracking Dividend Growth, Employee Monitoring, and more

To track or not to track? Employee monitoring possible with Asana

asana-news-recap-092716-2It can also be useful to track different kinds of output data, like the number of words you write, if you’re a writer, or your number of Github commits, if you’re a coder (which Exist also collects). Tools like Word Counter, Asana, Trello, Zapier, IFTTT, Gyroscope and RescueTime can work in concert to arm employees with information about how they’re working.

If so inclined, you can use this kind of data to help manage yourself and understand what works for you. But, as with any kind of data collection, it’s going to have its limitations, the number of words you write, or emails you send are easy to measure—but they might not actually be important. Quality can be hard to quantify.

Kanban Boards for Asana, Basecamp, Trello and AceProject

Kanban Boards Supported for Trello, Asana, Basecamp and AceProjectA Kanban board is a visual representation of tasks and workflow, making your operational experience that much easier by centralizing information. Bridge24 has released its first iteration of this valuable tool. Now users of AsanaBasecamp, Trello , and AceProject can visually change the state of their tasks by dragging from one list to another. The list represents the status, or process step (workflow). In an instant, a user can see work to be started, that which is in progress and completed.

We know Trello already has a light Kanban-style board, but we offer some behaviors not present in Trello. For example, you get the card count for each list, a list can be collapsed to free up your screen, and a lot more.

Collapsible Columns/Lists

Sometimes there are many lists and your screen fills up very rapidly. Scrolling to get access to the last column is sometimes tedious and sometimes not all columns are required to be viewed, since perhaps only a few […]

New in Basecamp 3: Profile Cards and the Latest API

logo-basecampBasecamp recently announced a feature that helps users express themselves more. The new Profile Cards allow people to express their status with a little personality. Busy people usually want to describe what they are currently working on. Sometimes, they want to announce to the rest of the team they are out of the office. The web-based PM tool now has a creative way in providing this information. Also, the latest API is now available for interested third-party integrators. If you need a great extension to Basecamp, we recommend you use our own tool Bridge24 for Basecamp

Unexpected Job Titles

The team at Basecamp noticed an interesting trend since last year. Apparently, the Job title field is being used in a more creative way. The field is supposed to contain information that describes a member’s official position or responsibility. For instance, a member’s Job title could be iOS Designer or Customer Support Manager. Instead, users put in more colorful descriptions such as Respectable Citizen or Quiet Optimist. Moreover, some are […]

Asana News: Stronger Passwords and Security Controls for Admins

asana-new-logoAsana is helping Organization Administrators as it announced new security features. Admins can now enforce stronger password requirements for members. Apparently, poor or weak passwords are the cause of two out of three data breaches. This is according to a recent report that investigated business data breaches. Moreover, Admins can now force a company-wide password reset in case of emergency or to further ensure security. These new features are available to organization admins in Premium accounts.

New Password Strength Controls

Asana is providing its users more options for their password standards. Admins can set an organization’s standard to “simple”. Accordingly, this will require users to create passwords that are 6 characters long. “Strong” passwords should be at least 8 characters from at least 3 of the following types:

  • lowercase
  • uppercase
  • numbers
  • symbols (!@#&)

Furthermore, users can choose to log in via Google SSO or via SAML, if the organization has its own system to manage identities of its members.

Trello Introduces Card Repeater Power-Up

trello-logoTrello visual collaboration tool is providing its millions of users a variety of enhancements to keep productivity high. A new simple Power-Up is now available especially for repetitive tasks – the Card Repeater. Fast-paced life is full of things to remember and tasks to complete. For instance, it includes important to-dos, regular chores and maintenance items. Most often, they are recurring and repeatedly done.

Asana Adds New Integrations – Grow, Velocity and Skarpline

asana-new-logoAsana is a popular productivity tool that helps teams track work the most efficient way. Teams are able to collaborate and stay on the same page, saving time while doing more work. However, every business is unique. Each organization has requirements that are rarely served by only one tool. The solution is in integration. Integration with other productivity, communication and reporting apps make it possible to satisfy work requirements effectively. Users do not need to switch between applications. Also, they can keep information in one place.

Tracking Work Easier with Integrations

Asana integrations enable users to track projects and teams easily by allowing them to use their favorite tools for their specific needs. Some of the most popular integrations are:

  • Slack
  • Dropbox
  • Google Apps

Some of the integrations were made by Asana due to feedback and requests such as mobile apps for iOS, iPad and Android, Chrome extension, Box and others. Partners build the others such as HipChat, SupportBee, GitHub, and InstaGantt, among others. New ones are periodically added […]
