Create clear plans that rally your team with Forecast. Plan staffing needs, schedule your team across projects, and optimize time to ensure project success and a happy team.
Teams across all industries looking for a collaborative project management tool.
As a fan of Harvest, I find that working with Harvest forecast is just as easy to use. This is a great tool for anyone who doesn't have a forecaster built into their project management software.
The product has many fundamental flaws. For example, if you charge a deposit for a project via Forecast, it doesn’t actually credit the deposit against completed work.
I use this daily for scheduling projects and forecasting who will be available to work on what in the company. This is a great price of software...the subtle micro-interactions are a nice touch.
That also means we can prevent time collisions for project planning purposes and figure out where we went wrong if timelines are missed.
Overall, it's a very helpful tool that keeps our business running. I think it's a great tool and would recommend to others.
We use Forecast with Harvest to suck in projects and schedule the work our creatives will be working on. It serves as a pipeline so we know who's busy and who's got capacity.
Being able to sort and filter by different criteria makes it super simple to like at Product teams, functional teams, offices, etc. the visibility we've gained with a Forecast has been a game changer.
Both Forecast and Harvest are good - but the integration is horrible.
I switched from Trello to Asana and I truly enjoy using Asana almost because I feel there is a gamification feeling in getting my daily wins accomplished.
My only major complaint is that I often miss out on some very important notifications that get lost in my inbox until too late.
The ability to collaborate with colleagues on tasks is also a great way of keeping track of progress and notifying all members of progress.
The main feature I dislike in Asana is its lack of functions for recurrent tasks. My work demands different routines every week and month, so it was a little bit difficult to set those up.
Asana's management tools are great and easy to use. Assigning tasks and tracking progress is efficient and the ability to prioritize facilitates any project management team.
My only complaint is that it is a little confusing the different projects and who can see what.
It is well-organized software which let us have an excellent grip on our ongoing projects. I really appreciate the way it is improving its features and functions in its updates.
When you set up a new account, you naturally are opted in to the email notifications, which can be really annoying and a pain to remove. My only suggestion to the Asana team would be to change that.
Ellenore K.: My name is Ellenore. I'm an administrative assistant at Equipter, which is a manufacturing company with about 70 employees, and I would give Asana five stars. Well, we are mostly an in-person company, but we have three separate buildings that people are working in. It's a fairly large campus, and people are working in many different departments, and we needed a way to bring everybody's work together so we could all see what we're working on, be able to assign things to other people, and mostly just keep everyone on the same page, because without some kind of system like this, it's chaos. I think the biggest thing that I appreciate about Asana is the visibility that it gives me for other teams and for my team. I think without this, it's just me running around to people's desks, asking questions in different buildings, making sure that we're all understanding things. With Asana, it means that I sort of have eyes on what everyone is doing and can keep track of how I need to fit into that. We have had some limited issues with our dependencies on recurring tasks. We have a fairly substantial, a large task that happens about once a week, and for a while we had dependencies set up so that we couldn't move ahead too quickly in the process before the earlier tasks were done. After a couple of months of that working with one of the more recent updates, we lost the ability to do that. That's a little unfortunate. It's not a huge deal because the people who were involved know what has to happen first, but that was a nice feature that we liked that hasn't been working so well for us recently.
