This year, due to remote work and COVID-19, work holiday celebrations might look a little different than usual. Most companies can’t plan their traditional holiday party or organize holiday-themed in-person events. But just because you can’t connect in person doesn’t mean you can’t close the year with some team connection. For tips, we turned to our Professional Services and Customer Success teams.
Did you know you can run an Agile team with Asana? Though Agile is a popular lean project methodology for product, engineering, and software development teams, any team can run Agile processes with Asana. Whether you’re building Kanban boards, running Scrum sprints, or using another Agile philosophy, try these templates to get your team started with Agile project management in Asana.
In order to help teams gain as much clarity as possible, you may have noticed that tasks in Asana can only have one assignee. That way, you always know exactly who is driving the work—or as we like to say, who’s doing what by when. But sometimes, a task has multiple components, or multiple contributors. You can’t add another assignee to the same task—but you can create subtasks.
What does it mean to be connected in a time when teams and tools are more distributed than ever? According to research[1], today’s enterprise workers switch between an average of 10 apps 25 times per day to execute work, resulting in unconnected communication, reduced efficiency, and duplicative work. In other words, instead of effectively moving work forward, many are stuck context switching and moving work back and forth between tools in a struggle to collaborate effectively.
Many companies and organizations, including Asana, have missions to guide their work.
How much clarity do you have into your team’s workload? If you answered “not a lot,” you’re not alone. In fact, 1 in 4 businesses say they either have no process in place or rely on “gut feel” to distribute work. As a result, a whopping 80% of employees report feeling overworked and close to burning out.
You know the feeling: you’re getting started on an exciting new project, but now that you’re actually sitting down to finalize the project plan, you have some tough decisions ahead of you. Deciding how you’ll visually track and manage your work is critical to setting your team up for success. These early project decisions are key to starting your project on the right track, and will make it easier for your team to track and execute work all the way through the finish line.
As a team lead, sharing regular status updates and progress reports with project stakeholders and executives is all in a day’s work. That’s because reporting is an essential part of communicating impact, getting ahead of potential pitfalls, and highlighting wins. The problem is, too many team leads spend too much of their time gathering the facts and figures needed to show where work stands.
