In 2008, the Giants defeated the Patriots in Super Bowl. “The Dark Knight” (Iron Man) and “The Dark Knight” (Iron Man) were released. Justin Rosenstein and Dustin Moskovitz created Asana, a project management tool, during the development of Facebook.
Although Asana has not become a cultural phenomenon with its movie, it has been a prominent team-communication app.
Asana has over 350 employees. It has grown to be a full-fledged productivity suite that includes advanced features such as budget management, resource management and task management.
Asana has more than 25,000 customers, including pioneers at organizations like NASA and Lyft, and there have been over one billion tasks created in Asana.
Asana’s staff is the best source of information when it comes down to knowing the tool better. They use Asana every day to manage their projects in-house.
