Even with all the software tools we have, how work moves across large organizations, the state of projects, and how people compare to individual, team, and company goals. It’s still difficult to figure out which is only closely tracked. Built on a work graph, her Asana has that knowledge, and the company today launched a new tool that gives managers the data they need to make sure projects are on budget and on target. Launched a series of dashboards.
Alex Hood, Asana’s chief product officer, said the reporting feature puts at the fingertips of managers a set of information that previously had to be pulled manually from various systems. “We created his report for executives at any altitude of the company. So it doesn’t matter [your job]you can instantly see a set of dashboards for anything you care about by simply selecting [in Asana] Which teams, projects or portfolios do you care about,” Hood told TechCrunch.
In practice, this includes providing a single view of strategic initiatives, team capacity, and budgets. Hood says the entire Asana platform is built on the underlying graph model, but the company is working to bring artificial intelligence into the process to make it even smarter. “The next step is to use AI to generate portfolios of things that interest us in an instant. It’s part of this new launch,” he said.
In addition, the platform understands the workload of specific skills across the organization to see who has bandwidth and who is overloaded, allowing businesses to distribute workload more evenly. help you do that. Asana calls this “resource intelligence.” “We are shipping the ability to see anyone’s workload across a domain or across an organization… [this data] It’s a very graphical format, so you can see who’s burnt out and who’s out of capacity, and you can balance the load between them across organizations that don’t share hierarchies,” he said.
Finally, the company offers a new tool called Execution Intelligence. This includes providing workflow templates that companies can use to build their own workflows. “We’ve had workflows in our product for a while, and we’re making it super easy with workflow bundles out-of-the-box. I plan to,” he said.
These tools don’t have AI built into them yet, but Hood said the next iteration of these tools will definitely have AI built into them. “So we have these three new features that aren’t AI-driven yet. Because the next generation will be AI-driven,” he said.
