There are so many moving pieces to keep track of when you’re planning an event. Between planning the budget, negotiating with vendors, and coordinating tasks in the run-up to the big day, there’s a lot to do before the event happens. 

To keep your event planning process running smoothly, you need to organize all your event tasks and details in one easily accessible place. Asana’s event planning template lets you view your event planning timeline at a high-level and collaborate easily, so you can plan with purpose.

What is an event planning template?

An event planning template is a duplicatable framework that helps streamline the event planning process. It provides you with a single place to manage and track event details. Asana’s event planning template is pre-built with custom sections and fields to track upcoming event tasks and details. It creates consistency, making it easy to replicate your existing event management workflows. Which means you can feel confident your team won’t miss any steps—so you can put on the best event possible. 

What are the benefits of using Asana’s event planning template?

Our free event planning template lets you manage all the details for your event in one accessible place, providing clarity in a way that static spreadsheets can’t. From tracking your budget and communicating with vendors to keeping your event on schedule, using our template ensures your event will run smoothly. 

While it’s possible to keep track of an event to do list in a printable event planning worksheet, using a digital project management tool makes it easy to track, share, and update your event plan as priorities and deadlines evolve. Plus, you can duplicate the template for each event instead of creating a new project. This reduces unnecessary upfront work and ensures your team follows the same steps when planning similar events.

Integrations and apps to use with Asana’s event planning template

Asana’s integrated features and apps help teams coordinate and communicate about the upcoming event and keep track of important documents and information, all without leaving Asana. 

Integrated features

1. Timeline View. Timeline View is a Gantt-style project view that displays all of your tasks in a horizontal bar chart. Not only can you see each task’s start and end date, but you can also see dependencies between tasks. With Timeline View, you can easily track how the pieces of your plan fit together. Plus, when you can see all of your work in one place, it’s easy to identify and address dependency conflicts before they start, so you can hit all of your goals on schedule. 

2. Milestones. Milestones represent important project checkpoints. By setting milestones throughout your project, you can let your team members and project stakeholders know how you’re pacing towards your goal. Use milestones as a chance to celebrate the little wins on the path towards the big project goal. 

3. Dependencies. Mark a task as waiting on another task with task dependencies. Know when your work is blocking someone else’s work, so you can prioritize accordingly. Teams with collaborative workflows can easily see what tasks they’re waiting on from others, and know when to get started on their portion of work. When the first task is completed, the assignee will be notified that they can get started on their dependent task. Or, if the task your work is dependent on is rescheduled, Asana will notify you—letting you know if you need to adjust your dependent due date as well. 

4. Project status updates. Say goodbye to sorting between multiple tools to find project status information or sitting through another meeting that could have been an email. Project status updates in Asana aren’t just easier to use—they’re also directly connected to the work your team does. This makes it easy for team members to access additional project information, like your project plan, communication plan, project goals, milestones, deliverables, and more. Ultimately, project status reports reduce your manual work, centralize information, and keep everyone up to date.

You can then assign the new task to yourself or a teammate, set a due date, and add it to a project so it’s connected to other relevant work.
