Keeping track of project tasks is crucial to success and organization. My partner, Lily, and I chose to use the project management tool, Asana. This task tracker allows the user to create tasks which can fall under sections. Each task can further be organized by due date, contributor, assignee, and more. Asana also sends notifications out to the users involved in a task. We first outlined our class projects through the course of the semester within the sections: the STARS report, the case study, and final project. Beneath each section, all the tasks we had to complete for each project was listed below.

This isn’t actually my first time using Asana. I began using Asana as an Eco-Rep last rear during earth month. Asana is a really efficient tool that helps to keep organized among a group of people. But using it last year, I wasn’t as familiar with it as I am today. Asana has turned out to be really helpful for me, as I demand all my tasks and work to be organized, or else I go a little crazy. This tool made it really easy to communicate with my partner on which parts of the project were completed, which is an issue I have experienced a lot in the past.

The program itself functions really well. I didn’t run across any issues while using it, although it would be even better if the tool could send out reminders before the due date. But overall, I can definitely picture myself using this tool in the future, especially when engaging in group projects. Organization is a key component of project planning, and Asana enhances it greatly.
