Workflow management software for teams
So your team always knows who's doing what by when.
What is workflow management?
A workflow is the process of how you get stuff done. It’s a system that makes work more efficient while keeping everyone on the same page. Workflow management is all about building and tracking these processes. Asana is like a home base for all your workflows: use it as a tool to create workflows and track your team’s work. Here are some examples of common workflows:

Decide how and when to communicate

Streamline the things you do regularly
From daily task management to approval processes, think about all the places where you can save time on recurring work and repetitive tasks with workflow automation.
Create a customizable internal knowledge base
Make document management easy for collaborators to access information by creating a user friendly central database of resources.
Define responsibilities and expectations at the start
To avoid bottlenecks, be sure to answer these questions for any custom workflow: What are the exact deliverables? Who’s responsible for each piece of work? When is each task due?
Keep your workflow simple and make real time adjustments
Avoid creating overly complex workflows. To start, keep it simple and check in regularly with your stakeholders to make any necessary adjustments.
Include a step for goal setting in your team's workflow
Goal setting helps team members understand how their work supports company objectives and business processes.
