Thanks for all of your amazing content, it has been extremly helpful for me. I am still in the setup phase of our boards and calendars, was thinking to book a call with you to discuss. Do you offer 1 off assistance for people in setup phase, and how much is this please? Thanks again :)
Thank you for reaching out! While we typically focus on long-term strategic engagements, it's good to have a detailed discussion about how we might assist you at this stage. I encourage you to book a 30-minute informational call through our book-a-call page. cirface.com/book-a-call
@MarquisMurray thank you! Might not be for me since it's just me trying to figure out on my own time so wouldn't have the capacity for ongoing work, don't want to waste our time 😊 thanks again for the vids tho, very helpful!
I really appreciate you being considerate of our time. Since you've found the videos helpful, you might be interested in signing up for our newsletter: cirface.com/newsletter or joining our community System Builder Academy (SBA): www.systembuilderacademy.com/join?invitation_token=5b39efa7bbb8dc478bd10e0ed5a83119562b660d-0b852ef2-ce2c-44c6-b1e9-5ecbc4382a12 That way, you can continue to learn about Asana and grow your skillset at your own pace.
It was time for an update. Asana has changed so much over the last couple of years. Here is everything you need to know to get started using Asana in 2024.
15 minutes into the video and I learned this was NOT a non biased review. Not saying the information is bad, some of us just look for non affiliated reviews and critiques. I appreciate your video none the less.
Thanks for the comment. As Asana partners, the focus of this channel is to provide information on the solutions my company deploys. It’s also not a review of Asana. It’s a tutorial on how to use the tool.
Hey Marquis, thank you for such a valuable video! It's really made me so much more aware of the power of Asana and the opportunities I haven't taken advantage of - both simple things and advanced things. I also really appreciate that you covered the philosophy of it too
Excellently presented. I have had this software for some time. The very surface explanations of other tutorials left me stagnant. This has been a blessing to find your channel. I cannot wait to implement what I have learned. I look to review your advanced teaching next. Thanks!
I'm so glad this video helped you see the full potential in Asana! If you have any questions or have any content suggestions, feel free to share them here in the comments.
Fantastic tutorial on using Asana for project management! The organizational features and user interface seem very intuitive. Looking forward to applying these tips to my workflow and seeing the results
Hi. Great video. Thanks. Do you know how to add a file field to my tasks? click up is easy to do that, here in asana I don't find it, even in custom fields I can't add it. I know I can add fields inside each task but I want to try to reduce clicks. Even adding Inside the task when I close it doesn't show that that task have a file inside. that is very bad if I've 30 tasks and I don't know if a task have a file inside or not, no indication that it have one.
Great video! Thank you very much for your great work. It´s great you gave us an insight as to all that can be done with Asana, but concentrated on the basics. The only thing that would be nice to know as well, are the limits of the paid version, as a lot of the features you show are with a paid version. (My only comment is that I just found the background music very distracting, until I finally got used to it). ;)
Thanks for the feedback! I've made a video covering all Asana plans and the features available in each tier. Check it out here ruclips.net/video/ugEajZjOT4g/видео.html
@@MarquisMurray Thanks Marquis. We're loving ASANA so far. Now with a few new tricks we just learned from your video we can optimize this tool for our organization. Yay!
Is there a way you can put in estimated time to complete projects/tasks and bill rates so consulting companies can use this as a benchmark for how much a project will cost and how long tasks should take?
Thank you for this amazing content!!! I am studying your content to build my team's first project I have a question, some of the features you are using are not in the free version, right? Wich version would i need to manage my Asana like you are doing here? Thank you!
Great question. You could do both, but depends on what information you want to view. My suggestion would be to use Teams to organize your clients and all of their different projects and deliverables.
I'm new to Asana, thanks for this great tutorial! I'm trying to set up "teams" as each of my clients, but it won't let me add teams like you are doing at minute 17. I don't have a plus next to the Team or the option to create a team when clicking the red +. Is it a paid feature maybe?
Hey, great question. You’re likely on the free plan. That plan allows for one shared team with everyone in your space. You’d have to go one tier up to unlock more features.
Hi Marquis. I really appreciate your videos. I'm struggling with the lack of printing options in Asana. Online help and support forums haven't been helpful. For me and my team, it's almost a non-starter to not be able to print the visual graphs and to save them off as images. Can you address this for me? The repeated instruction to "select the print" function is maddening because there is no print option in the timeline view. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! I am sorry to hear that. Regarding the graphs in the dashboard view, you can save them as images or, copy and paste them somewhere else (as images). Unfortunately, the timeline view cannot be printed or exported yet. This is a highly requested feature so I believe Asana will address it soon.
This is very helpful, thanks! My Custom Sections looks different than yours and for some reason the section headers won't slip and slide around like they did in your video. Did Asana remove this functionality? It's disappointing because the sections now don't make chronological sense.
Hey, thanks for watching! You should be able to rename and rearrange sections as needed. If you're still having issues, please check if you have the latest version of Asana or consider reaching out to Asana Support for further assistance. Hope you can resolve this soon!
Hi mate. I have just started using Asana and I want to build it to monitor my KPIs. How do I do that? I don’t see how I can use it to monitor safety and quality KPIS (percentages, money savings, how many inspections done per month, etc).
Hey there, thanks for watching! In order to create accurate and useful dashboards, in your case to visualize KPIs, you need to have all the information living in the projects. The way to do that would be by adding the right Custom Fields to every project. I believe these videos might be useful for you: 1. ASANA Formula Custom Fields: A Beginner's Guide 🚀 - ruclips.net/video/cuaPe_a3Yxo/видео.html 2. Office Hours (EP 2): Video Production, Asana Reporting, Custom Fields 🔥 - ruclips.net/video/VmbAEFDe6Lk/видео.html 3. How to Build, Export and Use your ASANA Reporting Dashboard 🚀 - ruclips.net/video/RcML3PEqoWE/видео.html Hope this helps!
Thanks for the feedback! Can you let me know what the resolution issue was. Was it with the screen share or the overall video quality? I’d love to improve it for future content.
@@MarquisMurray As with so many things, the problem turned out to be the user. "Auto" resolution presented it too fuzzy. But when I went into settings and selected 1080p it was fine.
I like your explanation. Do you have videos on how to make a project work as a template so one doesn’t need to purchase asana right away? Also curious if you have any examples for setting up for bookkeepers. Thanks again
Hi Audrey, thanks for watching! Great question. If you want to have a project as a "Template" without actually being a template, you should: 1. Create a project, add the sections, tasks, and any additional information. 2. Next step, rename the project to easily identify it as a "Template". 3. Every time you need to use it, just Duplicate the project. I don't think we have any videos for bookkeeping, but I'll add that idea to our list. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the walkthrough. Do all users need a paid license? Is it possible for manager or supervisor have a paid license and reportees use a free license?
Hey Dwayne, thanks for watching! Not necessarily, Asana does offer the flexibility to choose which organization, team, or division the paid subscription covers. So you could have a paid subscription for your management team while other teams remain on the free tier. Take a look at this article for more clarity: help.asana.com/hc/en-us/articles/14217067617051-Asana-subscriptions-and-pricing Hope this helps!
Thank you so so much for this video, but I was thinking, since the video is a demo, you would have made it to be clearer since there was no client information that you were trying to protect. I heard to strain my eyes just to see what you where clicking so that I could repeat the same from my end.
If I set up the free trial and then do not move forward with a paid subscription for my 3 person non-profit team, what features do I lose and do I have to set everything up again.
You can check out my video breaking down Asana's pricing plans to learn what features you might lose if you don’t move forward with a paid subscription. The good news is you won’t have to set everything up again, but some features will no longer be available. ruclips.net/video/ugEajZjOT4g/видео.html
@@MarquisMurray Do you know if I will lose the rules that I set up? Also, do you know anything about screen reader accessibility of the product? My team has blind team members.
Our organization consists of a large design team. Our design team consists of sub teams, UX Team, UI Team, UXR Team, UXW Team, SD Team, Dev Team, PO Team. All these teams are working on a Mobile App. When setting up a project, how to do we connect or assign specific teams to a project?
Hey, thanks for watching! You can only assign one "Asana Team" to a project in Asana. However, if you want people from multiple teams as members of one specific project, you have to create the project in a particular team and then manually add members from other teams. Now, if you need to move the project to another team, simply go to the project details (click the arrow next to the project's name and select "Edit project details") and switch the team. Hope this helps!
Seems like a great tool. Video "a must guide for all beginners" - Overwhelming for a beginner user and one who is not a native tech person; speed was way to fast; takeaways: there is a lot of stuff to learn and not much remembered. Speaker could share how long it might actually take to learn all this material. If I was going to redo this video, I'd take half as long, go over the highlights rather than click and show every option.

Great question. You would need to upgrade to at least the Advanced tier of Asana to access some of the features I reference.
