Asana

Project Management Freemium

Asana organizes work into projects, using timelines, portfolios, and workload views to give cross-functional teams a shared picture of what's happening and when. Its interface is clean and approachable, which is a big reason marketing, operations, and product teams pick it up without much technical training. Timeline and portfolio views in particular help keep departments working from the same plan. It connects to the rest of a company's stack through Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Teams, Zapier, and Salesforce.
