Asana: Agentic Work Management
Last week, Asana shared some pretty big news. The same Asana you know and love is no longer just a project management tool, but an Agentic Work Management (AWM) system.
What it Means
Existing users will still have all the same features and tools and then some. AI Chat got a glow up (now AI Dash), AI Teammates are no longer Enterprise Only, and a lot more is coming. Make sure you’re keeping an eye on the (recently upgraded!!) Asana Forum as it unfolds.
Not sure how to enable AI features in your workspace? Check out my free Asana AI resources for step-by-step instructions.
Looking for Asana, minus the AI?
Do I use Asana AI everyday? Yes. Do I also believe you should still be able to use this platform without AI? Also yes. As I build out new resources, I’ll be tagging any help guides with no AI required as asana-minus-ai and will crosspost them on the Asana Minus AI channel in the Asana BFF Community.
Announcing: Kelly’s Asana Help Guide
Remember when I said September was coming, and it’s gonna be big? Well, it’s here.
The number one thing I hear from clients is, "I know we need norms, but I have no clue where to start." I totally get it, you don't know what you don't know. For this reason, I am officially sharing my unofficial Asana Help Guide.
Kelly’s Asana Help Guide is a prebuilt project with 40+ entries including definitions, recommended best practices, and tips & tricks. This project is directly installed into your Asana workspace, making it a searchable resource for all. This guide is for beginners, and does not include any articles around automation or AI features. Learn more here.
