What is Asana?
Asana is a work management platform for coordinating projects, tasks, goals, people, and AI agents. Asana serves individuals managing personal projects as well as teams handling operations, marketing, client delivery, IT, and research and development. Shared project context helps participants understand responsibilities, deadlines, and how work relates to organizational goals.
Asana connects this information through the Asana Work Graph, which links people, tasks, projects, goals, and dependencies.
