Asana

Project views

Show a project as a list, board, calendar, timeline or Gantt chart. Timeline and Gantt views start on the Starter plan.

Rules and forms

Rules automate routine steps and forms turn incoming requests into tasks. Both start on Starter; form branching needs Advanced.

Goals and portfolios

Goals link projects and tasks to company-level objectives, and portfolios track groups of related projects in one place. Both are part of the Advanced plan.

Workload and resource management

Shows how much work each person has so tasks can be rebalanced. Capacity planning across the organization is an Enterprise feature.

Reporting dashboards

Charts built from live project data to show the state of a team's work, included from the Starter plan.

AI Teammates and AI Studio

AI Studio builds AI-driven workflows from a monthly credit pool: 50K credits on Starter, 75K on Advanced and 200K on Enterprise. Extra AI requests are billed per request.

Kerika

Task Boards

Kanban-style boards with a customizable workflow. Each task can hold a checklist of subtasks that are assigned and scheduled separately, and columns can carry work-in-progress limits.

Whiteboards

Free-form canvases for sketching ideas and plans. A whiteboard can contain other whiteboards, so large plans can be nested.

Files in your own cloud storage

Signing up with a Google, Microsoft or Box ID keeps project files in your own Google Drive, OneDrive or Box account, and Kerika tracks file versions.

Chat on cards and boards

Conversations are attached to individual cards and boards, so discussion stays with the work it refers to instead of in email.

Dashboard and highlights

A dashboard gathers what is assigned, due and needing attention across every board, and highlights mark what has changed on each card.

Calendar sync and templates

Due dates can sync to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or Apple Calendar, and boards can start from a library of process templates or from custom ones.
