# Rhythms + Asana

> Sync Asana projects with OKRs in Rhythms to automate progress tracking & align daily work with strategic goals

### What is Rhythms?

Rhythms is a strategy execution platform that helps organizations align high-level goals with daily work through OKRs, provide operational visibility, and reduce the administrative burden of coordination. Rhythms delivers these outcomes through a user-friendly interface that uses AI to:
- Help create and refine Objectives and Key Results
- Cascade OKRs from the top to bottom levels
- Draft actionable check-in notes and pull in progress from data sources
- Create sophisticated business performance reviews with a single click

### Why Rhythms + Asana?

Rhythms + Asana allows you to use Projects in Asana as a data source for check-ins on objectives, key results, and initiatives in Rhythms. With this integration enabled, when teams complete tasks and milestones on a Project in Asana, the progress value is automatically updated in Rhythms for whichever OKR that Project is connected to. Rhythms then analyzes additional project context using information in Asana and drafts a check-in note with key insights and actionable steps.
