Asana
Work management platform for teams to organize, track, and manage their work
What is Asana?
Organizing the World’s Work
Asana is a leading work management platform designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work. Founded in 2008 by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and ex-Google-and-Facebook engineer Justin Rosenstein, Asana was built to solve the "work about work" problem—specifically, the endless meetings and email threads that distract from actual productivity.
The platform uses a sophisticated graph-based data model (the Asana Work Graph) to represent the relationships between people, tasks, projects, and goals, allowing for multi-homing—where a single task can live in multiple projects simultaneously.
