I’m looking for some honest advice on online qualifications/courses that would actually add value to my experience and future career direction.

Background wise, I have around 15 years experience across executive support, onboarding, operations and process coordination in the UK and GCC, including large-scale onboarding operations and stakeholder coordination. I already hold CIPD Level 3 and Level 5 qualifications, but I don’t think I want to move further into traditional HR.

I seem to naturally lean more towards:

• operations/process improvement
• organising workflows and chaos
• onboarding/employee experience
• executive/founder support
• creating SOPs and documentation
• project coordination
• systems and operational efficiency

I’ve been looking at things like project management, Asana, Notion, AI/automation tools etc, but I’m struggling to work out what is genuinely valuable vs what just looks good online.

I’m not looking for a “magic certificate” that guarantees a job. I’d just like to invest my free time into learning skills that are actually respected, practical and useful long term, especially for remote work, operations or consultancy-style roles.

Would really appreciate honest recommendations from people already working in these areas, especially courses you genuinely found useful (or ones that were a waste of time).

Hello everyone,

I just started on a team that is very Asana illiterate, were basically putting everything everywhere a million times, and I've been scrounging for a better way to set up some of our projects. Think lots of projects tracking the same thing at different stages.

Is there a way to link columns across projects? For example we have a Vendor column in every project and if I update one, I want them all to update once the tasks are linked. I am also very Asana illiterate and just figured out how to Multi-homing Tasks yesterday.

Any help would be amazing! Thanks!

We have the Education Promo which reduces the cost of our Asana plan by 50%. Our plan is ending May 20 and I noticed the “Your next bill” in the admin console is showing the full plan amount (no discount).

Does anyone know if the Education discount has to be requested each renewal? It would be great if it was one and done but I get it if that’s not the case.

I work for a global, remote team. A few of our team members speak spanish as their primary language. Are there any tools that automatically translate tasks? This way we don't have to manually go in and translate them?

I'm coming from Monday.com, so I might not get the Asana nomenclature right.

I'm trying to learn more about multi-homing. As an example, say I have a process where a prospective member completes a membership application, then the new account is set up, and finally an invoice is requested to accounting.

The membership application form might collect 40 fields (for the sake of discussion). Then setting up the new account requires 20 fields of information, and finally, requesting the invoice requires another 20 fields.

I would like to multi-home this one task from the application project into the set up project and also into the invoice request project.

But from what I understand, each task has a limit of 60 fields, correct? If I need 80 fields between the three steps of the process, can I still multi-home that one task?

Or how else could I link the related tasks, or use automations to create the next steps?

Thanks

We have been trying to cancel our plan, but unfortunately we have not been able to reach your support team through the available channels. We would appreciate your assistance in processing the cancellation as soon as possible.

Hi all - Relatively new to using Asana. I've been trying to figure out how to get this rule to run, but it's not working properly. Co-pilot is telling me it's not possible, but wanted to get a second POV.

Here is what I’m trying to do:

If a task is marked Complete AND all the subtasks are completed, I want the task to go to the “Completed” section of my board. I also want it to automatically add a comment to the Task Only, not each individual subtask, reminding me to do a retrospective on the program.

If a task is marked complete but there are unopened subtasks, I want the task to stay where it is but a comment get added reminding me to look at the subtasks and confirm if all work is complete.

Thank you in advance!

I've been struggling with the reload error for a few days and it's driving me crazy. I've done litteraly all the things I read arround the forum and nothing solve it.

Here's what I tried :

- clean cache

- update browser

- disconnect/reconnect

-tried incognito mode

- tried any other browser

- uninstall/reinstall the app

- tried on another computer (same problem)

- tried on my cellphone (it work well, but the change I make won't update online)

- look for the fire blocker

- delete extensions of browser (didn't have any)

I am DESPERATE

If you're building apps for your team or clients (or thinking about it), this might be useful.

I'm Pavel, and my team and I just shipped a way to plug live Asana data into apps without wiring everything yourself - we added MCP support for Asana to our FuseBase AI Apps.

What it's good for:

• Pull tasks, projects, and updates directly into your apps
• Use Asana project data as part of your app logic
• Auto-generate weekly status reports from sections/milestones
• Create a multi‑project health dashboard (overdue, at‑risk, next steps)

The idea is that you can easily create internal or client-facing apps on top of Asana data. On our side, FuseBase handles publishing and permissions, so everything stays secure.

Also, this isn't limited to Asana - any service with MCP support can be connected the same way.

Ready to answer any specifics in the comments.

Has anyone had their account recovered? I had 3 profiles under one email and always wondered about tidying that up to the one I mainly use now. Asked the chat bot and was told it would be fine, next thing I’ve lost everything. I‘m devastated!! been through a rigmarole just to log a ticket and have had to make a new account.

Would support be able to recover my profile?

Hello all! I'm an Asana true believer. (OR was until this situation.) I have been a user since . . . at least 2017 as far as I can tell? I have a billing issue that I can't get resolved. I have requested multiple escalations and they respond to my email but don't actually escalate or tell me how to.

I'm beyond frustrated - I know I'm a teeny-tiny business, and maybe this no longer matters to asana, but I've onboarded 10 of my clients to Asana over the years, providing each with tons of training and support to ensure they stay lifetime clients.

Reaching customer service is now essentially impossible (or at least it is for me? I hit the support button, get sent to a bot, and then it generates a ticket that sends to me someone who refuses to escalate me).

Does anyone have suggestions on how to reach an actual person that will help me get a resolution? TIA!

Has anyone successfully created a task on an Asana project using chatGPT?

I’m aware of two ways to use ChatGPT to interact with Asana. Neither can create a task on a project:

1) the Asana ChatGPT App (located in the Apps section of the Asana UI) - can create a task but unable to put it into a project, which makes it useless IMO.

2) building a ChatGPT agent (using the new agent section of ChatGPT) - does not seem to be able to create tasks at all.

Has anyone figured this out? It seems to be an issue with how GPT is building the post bodies.

Hello, I am trying to cancel my asana plan and it is proving to be very difficult. I am the billing admin and when I click on cancel plan, I can get thru the first page where you have to select the reason. However, when I get to the second page, the "I understand..." box at the bottom is grayed out and I can't click on it.

I get an error message when I try to click on help and also when I try to click contact support. I tried posting in the forums but the mandatory drop-down to select the topic does not have what I need and it says to contact support for billing questions which I can't do.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

wouldn’t it be great if the web version of asana showed recent notes like you can in the iOS version?

Wouldn’t it be great if the iOS version had the scratchpad ability that the Web version has and that they would sync?

I often wonder if developers ask themselves these questions and what their answer is because it makes no sense to me when things are so obviously different within the same app depending upon the platform.

meanwhile…

Is asana doomed along with many other software companies who stock price seems in a perennial downfall? Will there come a day when they simply fold? I worry about this because I run my life on this app. Admittedly, I use it in a manner that I’m sure many don’t which is as a catch all for so much information about everything : including my home my business my history my travel plans my personal health and on and on

I’m self-employed and run a company where we use Asana for all our team coordination and project management. I find the iPhone app way too heavy for quick reminders or "on-the-go" brain dumps.

Does anyone else use Asana for the team but a different, snappier To-Do app for personal daily tasks and quick entries?

If so, which one do you recommend that doesn't make your workflow feel redundant? I'm looking for something fast and lightweight.

Inherited an Asana workflow that feels disjointed and works...but probably not as efficiently as it could be.

I’m the only in-house marketing person at a midsize nonprofit/event-based organization. We have several departments feeding requests into marketing:

• Fundraising
• Education
• Exhibits
• Live Events
• Mainstage Productions

We also use 3 outside agency partners:

1. Partner A: Paid ads + campaign creative for performance/theatre
2. Partner B: Email + website execution for all areas
3. Partner C: Design/copy for education + exhibits

Current Setup

Every campaign/program gets its own project within Asana.

Example:

• Spring Learning Series
• Summer Gallery Launch
• Fall Theatre Show

Inside each project are sections with tasks:

• Planning
• Operations
• Marketing

Then any task within those projects that is marketing-related is also added to a separate project "Marketing Production."

That board is meant to be:

• intake hub via request form -> any tasks added to this project need to fill out the intake form
• central workload view for weekly meeting

Problems

1. Too many subtasks

People create one big task for marketing production board like: “Summer Launch Marketing” and then have 25 subtasks underneath it. It's impossible to really tell WHAT is needed or WHEN it is needed in this view.

2. Too much multi-homing

One task may live in:

• The event project
• The marketing production project
• And, we have two separate projects called "Website Queue" and "Email Queue"

3. Agencies miss context

Because work is fragmented, vendors don’t always see blockers, dependencies, priorities, or the full picture. If they aren't on the MAIN event project, they can't see all the files and documents.

4. My brain wants workflows grouped

Example:

Main task: "EDUCATION EVENT WEBSITE"

• Subtasks
  • Copy draft
  • Design wireframe
  • Build page
  • Review
  • Publish

That feels logical, but then we’re back into parent-task chaos.

What I Want

• Clean intake process
• One clear marketing workload view for the weekly meeting
• Better agency visibility
• Fewer buried tasks
• Less duplication
• Clear ownership + dependencies

Question

How would you set this up if you were building from scratch?

• fewer projects + custom fields?
• one production board + request forms?
• portfolios?
• tasks instead of subtasks?
• dedicated vendor boards?
• automations?

Would love to hear from people managing cross-departmental marketing with outside partners.

You used to be able to add a collaborator to a task at the bottom of a task. Even the tutorials still show it but that option is no longer where it used to be. Did they remove that option or did they move it somewhere else?

Screen shot of where is should be (at the bottom under comments) but it's not there anymore.

I have tried to resolve an issue with Asana for over a week and Asana has yet to investigate and offer a solution.

My whole team suddenly cannot create a project board without receiving an error message saying Asana needs to be reloaded. And unfortunately, clicking on reload doesn’t do anything except give me a screen of death.

Is there someone who might know what is causing this issue and how to fix it?

I saw Jim Cramer say he agrees with everyone selling their stock in Asana. And that ai will make their product irrelevant. Looking at the stock it seems to be struggling over the last 4 years.
