How are people setting project schedule baselines using Asana?

Thanks for chiming in @Danielle-GenD

Yea - I am sorta bumming out about how Asana is missing some pretty critical features for true Project Management.

I became a bit evangelical about Asana when I discovered it after being tortured by a few construction industry specific platforms.

And while Asana is still the king (imo) when it comes to getting down and dirty to just pushing through work…

I have come to understand it as more of a “to-do list” on steroids / “project management lite” software.

I can see how it might shine a lot brighter in the software domain or in a distributed team that needs to work quickly through smaller projects.

But its really falling flat for me as a user that needs it to pay more mind to project schedule health + the ability to communicate that schedule info into the physical world (printing).

I find myself on da daily basis, leaning towards dialing back my Asana dreams of building out a full fledged Construction PM platform within it, going back to a industry product, and maybe just using Asana as a tool for our small internal team to organize their personal to-do’s that occasionally require some collaboration.
