About Asana
Asana is the coordination layer for companies where one project touches five teams. Tasks live in multiple projects at once (a launch task appears in both the marketing calendar and the product roadmap), Goals tie work to company OKRs, and Portfolios give leadership a live status view without status meetings. The free plan supports 10 users — the most generous of the big platforms.
No tool handles cross-functional dependency chains better. If your projects routinely span departments, Asana's multi-homing of tasks alone justifies the switch.
