Complex workflows rarely involve just one tool. In today’s distributed work environment, teams switch between 10 apps 25 times per day to stay connected. However, tool overload leads to too much context switching, which fragments communication and reduces efficiency. Integrations play a key role in making workflows more productive. According to the IDC 2021 Annual Collaboration Survey, companies that save 20-40 hours per week per person use an average of 4.2 integrations.

At Asana, we’re all about making cross-team collaboration seamless. Today, we’re excited to introduce Asana Flow, a suite of new features powered by the Asana Work Graph data model and purpose-built to drive effortless coordination for individuals, teams, and organizations.

As a key part of Asana Flow, we’re thrilled to share a slew of new and customizable workflow templates created in collaboration with leading organizations around the world.
