1)ASANA FOR SOCIAL MEDIA

Tips for managing your social media content with our social media calendar template
With so many social media channels to juggle, and new ones emerging all the time, creating and
managing a social media editorial calendar can be overwhelming. How do you properly set up
your social media marketing and ensure every post is on point before publishing? Asana helps you
visualize your entire lineup of social content, reschedule on the fly, and collaborate easily.
To get started with social media management, try our social media calendar template and the
following tips:
Create and manage a clear publication schedule. The Asana social media calendar template
helps you gain clarity on which posts are going out when and on what channels. Map out each post,
clarify what social media channel you’ll be publishing on, and set your social media marketing
plan. Then, easily share your calendar with stakeholders so they know your publication schedule,
too.
Make scheduling posts a breeze. Simply drag and drop tasks into the right date to schedule them
on our social media calendar template. Use custom fields to clarify what channel you’ll be posting
on.
Take action on trends faster. With a clear schedule and organized social media management
strategy, you can quickly jump on new trends or topics as they emerge so your brand doesn’t miss
out on a moment.
Cut the back and forth. Create and publish social content and visuals faster by assigning,
reviewing, and approving work in one spot. Easily assign tasks to team members so everyone
knows who’s doing what by when on the calendar.

3)How to Use Asana for Project Management

Use Asana for project management in your small business with our 5 steps:
Set up a project
Create tasks
Organize your plan
Manage the project
Close out the project

Overview: What is Asana?

Asana is online project management software for team work. It’s a versatile platform
that supports a variety of business needs, including oversight of deadline-driven
projects, outlining ongoing processes, and as an information repository, such as for
meeting notes and project documents.

Asana solves several key pain points related to managing projects.

Maintaining and updating project work plans as they evolve and change.
Facilitating team management and communication and keeping stakeholders
updated on project progress.
Identifying dependencies and risks to achieving project goals.

How does Asana work?

Since it’s web-based, you operate Asana through an internet browser. The company
also offers a mobile app to help you stay updated on the go.
Project team members share a collaborative workspace to access project information.
Tasks represent distinct pieces of work, and appear in Asana as digital cards,
containing details about to-do’s, approvals, milestones, or other project information.
All project data is stored in the cloud, so regardless of what device you use or who
changes any part of the project, you’ll see the latest version in real time, making it an
effective project tracker .

Asana works perfectly with  lean project management . In the following steps, we’ll

focus on using Asana to execute the  project management basics .

Step 1: Set up a project

Even before setting up your project in Asana, consider how you want to view it. Asana
provides various methods for visualizing your project to support the project
management framework you’re using. It lets you create projects based on a list view
of tasks, project boards, a calendar, or a timeline.
The list view is a simple list of tasks for a project.
The board view is akin to a whiteboard that you customize to your project needs. It’s
a popular approach if you use an agile methodology such as  kanban or scrum . With
this method, you set up your project view to represent a kanban or scrum board.
The calendar view allows you to view tasks in a calendar format.
The timeline view is similar to a Gantt chart where you see all project tasks along a
timeline that shows the timing and interdependencies across tasks.
You can also use one of Asana’s templates to jump start your project setup. Templates
encompass common project types such as a marketing project plan or a product
launch. Choose a template to get your project set up with minimal effort.
Step 2: Create tasks
Populate your project with tasks. You can determine relevant tasks for your project
using a  work breakdown structure . From there, creating tasks in Asana is just a
matter of clicking the "add task" button.
Tasks in Asana perform functions depending on your needs. They can serve as a
simple label reminding you of an item requiring attention, such as calling a vendor, or
tasks can represent your project  deliverables .
For more complex items, use Asana’s task card to house the relevant information.
Within the task, you can designate a deadline or a start date, assign it to a teammate,
upload documents, and even create sub-tasks to break up larger work.
Step 3: Organize your plan
You’ve defined a list of tasks, but to achieve a project’s goals, organize them into a
plan of action that maximizes your opportunity for success. Asana offers several tools
and features to help with  project planning .
Group related tasks into sections or columns, such as all pending tasks. Arrange tasks
within these sections by deadline, stages in a workflow, timeframes, or use custom
fields to define priority.
A great work hack is Asana’s automation capabilities. The platform lets you
automatically execute repetitive work, such as assigning tasks. To use this
functionality, you must set up the rules dictating the automation.
Also set up any important custom fields such as task priority. You can color code
these fields and highlight key information like red for tasks on hold.
Designate dependencies across tasks so Asana knows tasks cannot start unless others
are completed first. This aids Asana in building your  project schedule  as the system
brings together all information about your tasks to build your calendar and timeline
views, and to assess if the project is on track.
As you  delegate work , Asana’s workload feature helps you gauge and track each
team member's capacity. You’ll know if a teammate has too much work or if you can
assign more to them.

Asana lets you group tasks into sections, color-code key information, and set due dates.
Step 4: Manage the project
Asana offers several capabilities that help the project team stay on top of their work.
Every team member can access tasks assigned to them and their due dates.
An inbox feature delivers a news feed of updates to tasks you’re following. It allows
you to respond or navigate to these tasks directly, helping you stay on top of key
tasks.
Asana’s search capability lets you quickly locate any item in the system.
Asana’s sort and filter options enable a view of tasks by priority, status, and other
views that quickly allow you to see progress across tasks.
Leverage Asana’s Progress section throughout project execution. It provides a
snapshot of your project’s overall status.
You can review milestones, view recent status updates, check custom fields such as
approval status, and create updates that communicate information to the entire team
without the need to schedule a meeting while also facilitating communication
with  remotely managed  staff working online.

Asana’s project progress tab provides instant visibility into the status of a project.
Step 5: Close out the project
Wrap up a project by collecting key learnings to incorporate into the next project.
Accomplish this by setting up a custom template.
The template houses notes, steps, and other information to ensure your processes
improve. For instance, if your last product rollout missed informing a key group in the
organization, update your product launch template to ensure these teams are looped
in for the next launch.
Archive your completed project for reference later. It’s stored in Asana so you can go
back to it, and Asana lets you reactivate archived projects.

A last word about Asana for project management

Asana’s features encompass many project management needs, but if something’s
lacking, it offers a number of seamless third party integrations to extend functionality,
including Google Drive, Microsoft Outlook, and Salesforce.
The platform is a powerful task manager, and with Asana pricing starting at a free tier
for individuals and small teams, you can give it a try before you buy.
Armed with the knowledge of how to use Asana for project management, you can
increase team productivity and collaboration, improve visibility, and streamline
project oversight.
