I'm routinely frustrated by Asana because it's clearly a tool created by designers, imposed on developers.
- No integration with code repositories.
- No task numbers
- You can't reference a ticket in a commit and expect any feedback in Asana
- You certainly can't close a ticket with a commit.
- There's no link between CI progress and a ticket.
- No Markdown support (you can't even put links on text!)
- Boards and task lists aren't linked.
- It suppresses middle-click so you can't open more than one ticket at once.
- It logs every last change to things like assignments, but then folds up the conversation to suppress past comments.
Here's what it does have:
- Pretty backgrounds
- Cute little creatures that appear at random
This is not a tool for engineering. Please don't force your nerds to use it.
