As an entrepreneur, you are wearing multiple hats and managing numerous projects simultaneously. This can mean sometimes things are forgotten or slip through the cracks, because there are just too many balls in the air at once. Asana is a game changer for those who could benefit from improving their business’s efficiency by streamlining processes and more expertly managing projects.

 

1. Planning and Organizing

The beauty of Asana is its ability to provide a visual overview, so you can plan ahead and organize projects based on their individual timelines. This can help you identify problem areas or where a project might be streamlined or better defined. Utilizing Asana makes it easy to plan and track projects, organize work, communicate more effectively, and collaborate more easily. Asana can also provide a quick overview of what needs to be done across projects helping you prioritize and better manage your time effectively.  This can be especially helpful for small businesses without the luxury of a full-time project manager.

 

2. Set Reminders

To further help you keep all the balls in the air, Asana allows you to set reminders for individual or group tasks. You can set up recurring reminders, so you never miss tasks that are performed in a specific cadence. Setting these reminders is a great way to keep yourself on track and make sure things don’t go unnoticed. And finally, the ability to quickly see what needs to be done daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly is a game changer for any busy business owner. There are multiple layouts to view your personal tasks depending on what suits you best. For example, you may want to view tasks with an approaching due date to ensure you are on track or you may want to see those tasks that are overdue to get caught up. Asana makes this easy to do within the “My Tasks” view.

 

3. Team Collaboration

While Asana can help you, as an entrepreneur, stay organized and on top of your work, it can also provide information on how your team is progressing with their responsibilities for each project and help you identify where the bottlenecks are. It can be used to communicate with team members, share files, and delegate responsibilities. This can be especially beneficial for teams working remotely but frequently collaborating on projects. Every member of the project is able to access all of the information necessary to stay on track and organized.

 

4. Business Growth

Asana will also benefit you and your business as you grow. Because Asana makes it easy to capture procedures and workflows that are performed routinely, as your organization grows, Asana can grow with you. Having the ability to create templates for projects and tasks that are frequently performed reduces the amount of time needed for implementation and ensures all necessary tasks are included every time. You will be able to see who is responsible for what tasks, when each task is due, and you will even be able to see linked instructions or information related to each task. This will help you better manage your growing team and the timelines for each project.

 

If you’re like most small business owners, you’re always looking for ways to be more efficient and get more done. Asana is a great tool to help you do just that. Leveraging Asana for your small business will allow you to focus on your business goals and objectives while tracking the progress of your team. Make Asana your next project management tool to streamline your projects and achieve your goals.
