Workflow management software for teams
So your team always knows who's doing what by when.

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:

Define responsibilities and expectations at the start

Avoid creating overly complex workflows. To start, keep it simple and check in regularly with your stakeholders to make any necessary adjustments.
