How many spreadsheets and decks has your team been through to track goals?

Track in a sheet, move it to a deck before the leadership meeting, chase down numbers the night before. AI can speed that up. But what if the work your team is already doing tied back to the strategy instead?

That is what Asana Goals do. Progress can be tracked four ways:

🟢 Sub goals, rolling up from smaller owned outcomes
🟢 Manual, for metrics that live in another system
🟢 Connected projects, measured by task or milestone completion
🟢 Connected tasks, tied to a specific set of work

Plus an AI Teammate that reviews new initiative requests against your active goals.

New video is up.

AI adoption moved fast this year. Teams were told to learn it and use it, but not always given clear rules on what data to share or which tools were actually approved.

When we audited our own team at Cirface, we found a few gaps we didn't expect. Here's what we did about it.

Can Asana replace Microsoft Planner?

Short answer: yes. Planner works fine for one team on a simple board, but it hits a wall fast, no dependencies, no portfolio view, no way to recover a deleted plan.

We broke down everything Asana adds, plus how a major transit agency consolidated Planner, Oracle Primavera P6, and Jira into one workspace.
