Asana Hierarchy

                                                                                     Asana Hierarchy

From the tiniest task to the biggest annual goal, your team can quickly and easily organize anything with Asana's handy hierarchy. It all starts with a task, the bite-sized pieces of work that make up your day. A good task starts with a strong verb and has an assignee and a due date so everyone knows who's responsible for what and when it needs to be done.

Unfortunately, most teams are used to tasks getting scattered all over the place, in emails, spreadsheets, or even on good old-fashioned post-its. In Asana, tasks are grouped into projects, so your team can collaborate on related work in one place.

Projects like marketing or sales live within the team that drive the work forward.

Finally, teams are all part of the same organization, connecting everyone at your company in a shared space for collaboration.

Let's start at the top. Within your organization, teams organize your projects, which are composed of tasks.

The hierarchy helps you create clarity and alignment in your team. See work across different project views that speak to your role. Stick to timelines and create smooth handoffs by mapping out task dependencies. And create shared visibility by adding the same task to multiple projects. Once your team has started using Asana, you can monitor progress, manage bandwidth across groups of related projects, and streamline communication across your entire organization by integrating Asana with your team's favorite tools.

There's so much you can achieve with Asana.

And the more you and your team rely on it, the more you'll get out of it. But just remember, it all starts with a task.
