⚠ Increase limit of 20 Portfolios for Advanced tier (Legacy Business)

Constructive Feedback

If Advanced plan is per seat plan, there should be per seat limits in the organization and no Organization-wide limits.


Rant

Per-Organization limits makes feature unusable and turns them into “preview” to force switch to next pricing tier (Enterprise) since it effectively removes it from tier (due VERY small per-user limits).

We had Dashboards removed from Premium plan in late 2018 already to have essentially the same feature (branded Portfolios) up-sold within the twice expensive Business plan. Asana needed to start making money then.

5 years later we are being played the same game again. We are up-sold to Enterprise with Organization-wide Portfolio limitation ;).

Asana learned the 2018 lessons and changes are introduced with elegance:

  1. Change does not touch anyone at legacy Business tier (no bad publicity from existing user base).
  2. Business tier users are gently pushed into Advanced tier with AI features.
  3. New limitations are soft.
  4. 20 portfolios limit can be potentially adjusted.
  5. Asana Sales team is open to feedback.
  6. Ruthless visual feedback shown to ordinary users is prominent enough to nudge every billing owner to contact Asana Sales with their story.
  7. 1+ year grace period provides enough time to hear relevant feedback.
  8. 2024 promises to be significant source of Portfolio-connected Enterprise features to amplify Enterprise upgrade value. See Introducing capacity planning in Asana! :wink:

Well done! Bravo Asana Sales Team!
