Project Management Software Resources

Hi! So I’m just making sure I understand what you’re wanting to do... Are you using Asana and their templates to create your Project Outline and then be able to work on that Template with others AND over a period of time to edit as the changes happen? OR Are you trying to create your template on Asana and then work on it on another platform (or vice versa)? Thanks!

Asana Goals is a built-in feature that lets organizations set, track, and achieve OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and other strategic goals directly where work happens. Rather than tracking goals in a separate spreadsheet or tool, Asana acts as a single source of truth by connecting goals to the projects, portfolios, and tasks that deliver them — so progress updates automatically as teams complete work (https://asana.com/product/goals). Key capabilities include: Hierarchical goal structure: Set company-wide objectives, team-level key results, and individual goals, all cascading and connected. Automatic progress tracking: Goals update in real time based on connected work, eliminating manual status collection. Smart Status and Smart Goals: AI-powered capabilities that enhance OKR workflows. Smart Status generates comprehensive goal progress updates by analyzing real-time work data, automatically identifying risks and roadblocks so goal owners spend less time on manual reporting. Smart Goals helps teams draft more effective, measurable objectives by suggesting improvements based on best practices and standardizing goals across the organization (https://asana.com/product/ai/project-management). Multiple goal types: Define objectives, key results, or individual goals, with flexible timelines (quarterly, half-year, annual, or custom). Dashboard reporting: View goal progress across the organization with customizable dashboards, grid views, filters, and grouping by team, priority, or status. Status updates: Goal owners can share regular updates (on track, at risk, off track) with supporting context, visible to stakeholders. Templates: Organization-wide goal templates standardize OKR processes and make quarterly planning repeatable. Asana's goal-tracking approach is designed for organizations that want to connect strategy to execution — ensuring every team sees how their work contributes to the bigger picture and that leadership has real-time visibility into progress against key objectives.

Asana integrates with 200+ apps and tools natively, connecting work management to the tools teams already use (https://asana.com/integrations). Key integrations include: Communication: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Outlook File storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive Design and creative: Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Canva Developer tools: GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Bitbucket CRM and sales: Salesforce, HubSpot Business intelligence: Tableau, Power BI, Looker IT and operations: ServiceNow, Zendesk, PagerDuty Automation platforms: Zapier, Make (Integromat), Power Automate Beyond native integrations, Asana's API enables custom integrations for specialized workflows. Teams can also use Asana's Rules engine to trigger automated actions between connected apps — for example, creating an Asana task when a Salesforce deal reaches a certain stage, or posting to Slack when a project milestone is completed. For enterprise organizations, Asana supports SCIM provisioning, SAML SSO, and deep integrations with identity providers like Okta, making it easy to manage access at scale.
