Asana’s Rise to a $900M Valuation

I actually thought they were dead in slack’s wake. Ironically, I think asanas model is a better way for a team to collaborate than slack. With asana or other systems, the focus is on an issue or checklist or Story or some other piece of work.

With slack, it’s just rambling, ad hoc discussions, arguments without vocal / body language context, random thread hijacking and hardly any way to consolidate information.

Have always had problems with asana. It was always to limited for _my_ use-case (as a developer), and how other teams I've worked with did use it was awful. asana lacks granularity, or anything meaningful in terms of enforceable process. To me, asana is a glorified to-do list, not a project management tool. Their reliability was awful as well, having project-based outages for ~10 mins, multiple times a day wasn't leaving a good taste in my mouth.

Glad to see Asana isn't going anywhere. I'm a power user for my personal TODOs and would hate having to move it to another platform.

Glad to hear that Asana is doing well financially. It is at the center of my GTD-ish productivity setup since Microsoft decided to shut down Wunderlist. Really don't want to move all my stuff again...
