Asana is a US based startup founded by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz & Facebook & Google developer Justin Rosenstein (inventor of the ‘like’ button & Google Drive & Facebook Pages). They originally built the tool to solve internal Facebook project management issues & then rolled it out to the world at large.
You can get the product for free for an unlimited number of tasks, up to 15 team members & with basic dashboards & search. There’s also a premium version, as well as an enterprise version that’s available on demand.
