The ultimate guide for doing things with Asana

You could have a script that goes through a project, picks the completion date of a task, the start date of another from a custom field, and fill another field with the difference? I could help if needed.

Based on @LEGGO advice, I added Kosmotime for time blocking https://www.kosmotime.com/

@Bastien_Siebman awesome list. Thanks for taking the time and putting the list together :+1:
Has been bookmarked and I will definitely include this link in our onboarding checklist for new team members :slight_smile:

There are a few programs we use in the company which I think it might be helpful to list them as well.

Zoom: Zoom + Asana • Asana

Pipedrive: Pipedrive- + Asana-App-Integration: Vertriebsmanagement • Asana
We set up automations there so whenever a deal is closed a project with tasks is created in Asana to continue with the project delivery for a client.

I have seen your link to a page about CRM info but somehow could not find Pipedrive there so I thought Iā€˜d suggest :wink:

Active Campaign: I mean mainly you will also need Zapier or similar program to connect it but they have listed some pre-built automations there Integrate Asana with ActiveCampaign

Thanks for the KosmoTime mention Bastien!
We’re a brand new app, we love Asana, we’d love feedback from the community!
Please try the app and ping us on Slack or chat (links in the app). THANKS!

Awesome resource @Bastien_Siebman ! Thanks for the effort.

Is there a way to adjust / calculate Task progress in a portfolio view ignoring certain sections? We have a section called ā€œFeature Requestsā€ where we drop in all our ideas of what we want to do. This skews the Task Progress metric since it counts these tasks as ā€œIncompleteā€. Thank you!

Not really, except if you store them elsewhere, or store them as subtasks :grimacing: You could also switch the Portfolio progress to milestones and not tasks.

Thank you! I changed it to milestones for now. It would be nice to have the same filtering functionality when creating a dashboard/charts to managing portfolios (to calculate/view custom metrics)

thanks @Bastien_Siebman for this nice guide. well-structured and has the most important tools everyone uses in daily basis . Great job :+1:

Hi, I looked at the link and it’s hard to tell if the page is updated with new links. Is it still relevant?

@Michel_Cloward you make a good point, I created the post in 2018 and did not do a lot of updates since. Feel free to mention any missing tool or broken link :slight_smile:
