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.

Superthread

Cards and boards

Cards hold tasks, issues or tickets, and boards show them as kanban, list, timeline or calendar layouts, with swimlanes, child cards and blocking relationships.

Projects and sprints

Cards roll up into larger projects tracked on a dedicated projects board, and sprints give a team time-boxed cycles for a set of work.

Pages and wiki

Collaborative documents with sub-pages, inline comments, templates and real-time editing. Pages can be shared by link with people outside the workspace.

AI agents

Agents work across tasks, pages, projects and meetings with configurable triggers and access, and are included on every plan, with usage limits that vary by plan.

Forms and time tracking

Forms collect structured requests and route them to boards. Time tracking logs hours on tasks, with timesheets, billable rates and workspace reports.

AI note-taker

Plain meeting notes are unlimited on every plan. AI meeting transcription and AI note templates are limited to the Business and Enterprise plans.
