You just spent 30 minutes in ChatGPT working through an idea — outlining a campaign, mapping out next steps, pressure-testing a plan. It’s clear, structured, and actually feels ready to go. Now what? Copy it into your team’s tools? Recreate the work, assign owners, figure out where everything lives, and get everyone aligned? The thinking and ideation part is solved. The coordination and execution part isn’t. Real work doesn’t stay with one person.

Security is what makes it possible to build and ship software with confidence. But in fast-moving engineering teams, it can drift into an afterthought—a final hurdle before launch rather than a voice at the table from day one. Varun Prusty, staff security engineer on Asana's security architecture team, believed it didn't have to work that way, so he built something to prove it.

The hardest part of a planning offsite isn't always the planning. It's translating that clarity, energy, and momentum into actual projects after everyone has left the room. For Sheila Head, Head of Marketing Operations at Asana, that translation work used to cost an entire work day. "The real work happens as soon as you wrap up the notes and assign action items and get people actually working on the initiatives you all aligned on," said Sheila.

Think about the last time you went for a walk. You likely checked the weather first, right? And, based on what the weather app showed you, decided how to dress and what to bring. If it looked cold, you probably put on a jacket or a light sweater. If the app forecasted rain, you might have weighed the odds of a downpour and decided whether or not to bring an umbrella. That’s risk mitigation.

Starting today, teams can check on their Asana portfolios, generate and preview new projects, and create tasks directly in Claude, Anthropic’s AI offering. This connection is especially meaningful for teams already using Claude to think through work.

In the evolving landscape of project management tools, teams often find themselves at a crossroads: choosing between the simplicity of Trello's digital sticky notes and the orchestrated work management offered by Asana. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive comparison, helping SMBs, growing teams, and technical leaders make an informed decision.

In this blog article, hear from Adam Higa, Growth PM at Asana. I’m a Growth PM at Asana, and yes — I use Asana to build features for Asana. Very meta, I know. But being both a user and builder gives me a unique perspective on what works. I’ve developed a system with Asana that keeps me focused on outcomes, not just shipping features. Given it’s January, I wanted to share three tips for how I approach roadmapping and OKR planning in Asana.

Great ideas start in AI tools. With 87% of employees now using AI at work,* teams brainstorm ideas, shape plans, get quick context, and move fast with the help of AI every day. And they're not waiting for official company AI rollouts either—only 31% of organizations have an AI usage policy in place.* As a result, work is no longer happening in one place. Employees jump between AI tools and their existing tech stacks, scattering tasks, content, and thinking across them.

AI promises a radical leap in productivity. There is evidence that, on an individual level, this promise is being delivered. Employees are completing tasks in minutes that took hours just three years ago. This has fueled massive economic optimism, projecting labor cost savings of up to 25% and potentially affecting almost 10% of current GDP over time. However, this stunning individual acceleration has yet to show up in the bottom line.

Common workflow bottlenecks—like complicated data audits and repetitive report drafting—don’t just grind productivity to a halt. They prevent teams from getting the clean, reliable insights they need to make smart decisions. While automation can help with simple tasks, it often falls short when it comes to solving complex problems that require context and strategic thought. This is why top organizations are adopting AI Teammates in Asana.
