A Sneak Peak of Asana’s Custom Fields (in beta)
Custom Fields is a project setting that allows you to create new attributes to sort and filter your tasks. As the name suggests, these fields are completely custom and can contain anything you like including plain text, numbers or a drop-down menu. One basic use of Custom Fields could be to create a field with a dropdown menu for priority e.g. High Priority, Medium Priority and Low Priority. Similar to before, you could then sort your project tasks by priority and hit all the high priority tasks first. The great thing about Custom Fields is that regardless of what you do or how you work, Asana now gives you the ability to track it.

Asana and Other Tools Product Managers Can Use
Leading a product from conception to completion is no easy task — and product managers deserve their own toolkit. Yet PMs have had scarce resources to do this great work. In the past, product managers relied on spreadsheets, PowerPoint decks, and more general project management software. They used these tools to manage their roadmaps, requirements documents, and more. However, they were not created with product managers in mind. Asana is a web-based project management application that helps you work on the go from anywhere. Keep team conversations and tasks in one place rather than searching through emails.

What It Takes To Have A Successful App Redesign Like Asana
After a recent story we published, we’ve had dozens of comments and messages asking if there’s any examples of apps that defied the odds and had their redesign or logo change yield an immediate positive response from users, aka, outliers. We also thought this was an interesting question, so we went away, put our researcher hats on and got to work. After our analysis, we soon decided that the best approach for this story would be to focus on two apps with unquestionable positive reactions to their redesigns, and one of them is Asana. At the end of September 2015, Asana updated the interface of their iOS app, steering away from the strong colour they had initially, and going for a cleaner and more neutral approach instead.

Asana and Best Practices for Remote Workplace Communication
It is important to be patient if you’re waiting on an answer from a remote team member. We work in multiple time zones, which could mean that one person’s lunchtime is the end of the day for another. Be cognizant of your co-workers’ different schedules. For instance, if you work on West Coast time, don’t wait until the end of the day to ask your East Coast compatriots questions. It can also help to have project management tools like Asana in place so you and your team members can independently keep project logs up to date, which reduces the need to ask questions in first place.

Use Asana to Build and Launch a Web App in 60 Days
On another call, I talked about my monthly business ritual. Every month I update the “Monthly Metrics” spreadsheets across my businesses. Then, I scan my daily business journal and write down the important events. I also go through my completed Asana tasks and write down major tasks that were finished. I list out all the “Tasks Accomplished“ for the month in each business. After that, I use something called “Rose, Bud, Thorn.” Under Rose, I list the things that went well that month. Thorns are for the things that didn’t go well, and Bud is what to focus on the next month.
