Today, I’m excited to announce we are launched a newly redesigned team page!
Team pages now allow teams to organize work and tie together different types of work into one place by adding links to work such as portfolios, projects, templates, forms, and external links, or by attaching files. Additionally, initial changes for team identity customization and a new tab structure have been introduced for easier navigation.
With this update, there are now four tabs on the team page:
Overview
All work (for projects that are shared with or owned by the team and project templates)
Can I revert to the old team pages layout? No, the update to Team Pages is a permanent change aimed at improving team collaboration. However, we welcome your feedback to help us continually improve the feature.
Who can edit the team page? By default, all team members can edit and contribute to the team page (which includes the team name, the content on the page, and the structure). Team admins can choose to adjust the permissions so that only team admins are able to edit, in which case other members can view and interact with but not edit the page.
How do I add custom sections to my team page? Anyone with the permissions to edit the team page can add custom sections by clicking the Add Section button in the ‘Curated work’ section in the ‘Overview’ page of the team page.
Let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments below!
Until now, I understood team pages to be used to store projects and manage members.
From now on, I can expect to see more use of it as a team.
P.S.: The new team page is now available in my organization.
Until now, I’ve just been using the team page as a place to put projects, but I feel like I need to rethink how I use it.
Hi! We’re slowly rolling this out for customers now - some may be able to see it right now, but it could take up to a few weeks to start seeing this new experience.
I like this update as it will add the ability to create notes on the team page (which will be helpful for team wide communications - thinking like a ‘Team Blog’).
But what excited me was seeing the ‘projects’ move from the overview page (where it was a fairly useless list for us since we have hundreds of projects), into its own tab ‘All Work’.
It hasn’t rolled out for us yet, but seeing the screenshots I’ve seen it looks like it is rolling out where it was just moving this list to a tab which broke my heart.
What would be ideal, for my team, would be:
Breaking it into 3 tabs: Team Portfolios, Projects, and Templates (maybe you can let us decide this by adding a tab and selecting view settings).
Utilize this tab like a Portfolio - where you have the ability to filter, sort, group and most importantly add custom fields.
Add multi-select / mass-update functionality - where we can select any number of projects to update them such as changing owner, adding to portfolios, status updates, changing dates, change a custom field, or even deleting (Note, I’ve already asked this functionality to be added to Portfolio Views as well since it lacks it there too).
Add Workload tab to see team wide capacity.
This would be a HUGE time savings for me. For example right now I need to create a Studio Wide Portfolio and will need to add all 895 projects to it so that I can see a our entire Studio’s capacity (workload) on one view. Timing it, it roughly takes me 3 minutes per project to click through all the menus to add it to a portfolio, wait for updates, then find the next one. So to go through this process it will take me roughly 44.75 hours to build this one portfolio.
Workload off a team would be huge!
Conversely, having an outline tab in Portfolios would be great for explaining the function of each portfolio. Far easier for new users to navigate.
I would really love to see improved team messaging capabilities incorporated into the team page, or into the higher level Asana page. I used to use Basecamp and I’m really, really missing “campfire” and “pings.”
When you add Curated content, you can’t edit the name or description fields. You have to delete the item and re-add it. The only options to edit is delete or move up/down.
It would be nice to be able to set the Team description/About Us to be expanded as default.
(Also the new team pages have rolled back in our account. Not sure why…)
Thanks for sharing such detailed feedback with us, @Bob_Le_Schoenthal, @Grace_Marcon and @Sarah_Nicole! I’m going to pass all the information to our product team so we can consider it when building more iterations on the team page.
@Anastasia_Daigle we are gradually rolling out this feature! We made the announcement in October to give an early heads up and details. If you would like to get notified early when new updates are coming, I recommend you joining the Asana Ambassador program where we post Asana updates before they get released publicly
Thanks for passing on the feedback. We’re looking at possibly using MS Teams for internal communications in the meantime, but it would be ideal to be able to keep project communications within Asana instead.
Hi @Nicolas_VIGNERO , when you say ‘default user page’, you mean the Home page, which appears once someone logs in? Or are you looking to have a user land onto the Team page when they sign up for the first time and are onboarded onto Asana?
Hi @Nicolas_VIGNERO , there is no native setting for this but the most simplest solution, for those using the web browser version of Asana, might be to bookmark their Team page instead. (each Team page has a unique URL)
