  • About-Asana.Pdf
    About Asana Asana is a leading work management platform that helps teams orchestrate their work, from daily tasks to strategic initiatives. Asana ​adds structure to unstructured work, creating clarity, transparency and accountability to everyone within an organization—individuals, team leads and executives—so they understand exactly who is doing what, by when. Our co-founders started Asana because they experienced firsthand the growing problem of work about work, or internal coordination. Instead of spending time on work that generated results, they were spending time in status meetings and long email threads trying to figure out who was doing what. They recognized this pain was universal to teams that need to coordinate their work effectively to achieve their objectives. As a result of that frustration, they were inspired to create Asana to solve this problem for the world’s teams.
