Trello vs. Asana?

Anonymous

November 23rd, 2015

My team and I are looking for an amazing digital tool that will help us organize our creative/brainstorming sessions and I’ve known about Trello for a while now but have not actually used it. I’ve also heard great reviews on Asana as a project management tool. But before getting into it I was curious what were others experience using Trello/Asana. Pros/Cons? Which would you recommend & Why?

Trello. Clear, user-friendly and free, after all.

For sharing and developing ideas we find Trello (or any other good kanban tool) to be excellent. For product development we use Jira. For projects we use Asana and we also run customer onboarding through Asana. For ideation Trello or another Kanban board. We use the following columns: New Ideas; Ideas Needing Clarification; In Next Release; In Future Release; Discarded. For products a tool like Jira. For projects (formal start and stop, clear deliverables, task management) Asana or Wrike or Basecamp (or any of a dozen others).

None of the above - Thank you. After trying so many tools including Trello and Asana, Axosfot and PT. We settled withTaigaand our devs love this tool. I love it too... We even built an open source plugin to integrate Taiga with Sentry because we love it that much.

Trello is more on the free flow side, it allows to create mind maps, however, unless you are using plug ins it is very hard to make a plan to execute on.

Asana allows you define goals and pathways to get to where you want to go.

Also, I think a key aspect is integration and the type of teams that you will be using it with, that would affect my decisions as well.

I like the proposed usage that @Hugh Macfarlane offered.

Over the last month I have been using Asana and Meister Task. I really like both. Still haven't finalized which one I will use with my team. If you like to mind map I really recommend Mindmeister.

As an older serial entrepreneur I am baffled by the various posts here. Is looking @ the Asana and Trello sites enough to learn how to use them or do I need to have a rep call on me?....I love this site....

As far as ASANA, I and my company have been users since the “beta test” days. This tool has been exceptional for our company and its organization. Our company workflow is arranged around “projects” - each production job has a separate job number and workflow. Since those workflows have been standardized (think ISO 9001) into procedures and approvals, a Blank Project template has been created that represents the baseline project. When each new production job is initiated, an instance of the Blank project is created by copying the template. When that project is completed, the job is archived. Highly recommended! As the owner of several software companies in the past, I can only pine nostalgically about how life would have been different if ASANA had been available then… Mike
