Get Started with Asana - Task Collaboration



Unlocking Efficiency and Collaboration: The Power of Asana

Asana is a great place to start off as a small team and works well with teams at scale as I've seen.

As an IT project manager, you understand the importance of streamlined workflows, efficient collaboration, and staying organized.

In the world of project management and task tracking, Asana stands out as a powerhouse tool that can elevate your productivity with ease. With a short learning curve to get moving, it's easier than some more comprehensive tools to get started.

1. Projects: Structured Organization at Your Fingertips

One of the main benefits of Asana is its project management capabilities. As a full-stack developer or a social media manager, you deal with numerous tasks and projects daily.

Asana allows you to create and manage projects effortlessly. You can break down complex tasks into smaller, actionable steps, assign them to team members, and set due dates.

This structured approach ensures that everyone knows their responsibilities, deadlines are met, and projects are completed on time.

2. Rules: Automate Repetitive Tasks

In the world of IT and social media management, there are often repetitive tasks that can be time-consuming. Asana's "Rules" feature is a game-changer. You can automate repetitive actions, such as task assignments, due date changes, or even notifications when certain conditions are met.

For instance, if a task hasn't been assigned or has been left idle for awhile, Asana can automatically comment into the task asking if anyone's still on this.

3. Inbox: Centralized Communication

Effective communication is key in project management, especially when you're juggling multiple responsibilities.

Asana's "Inbox" acts as a central hub for all project-related communication. You receive updates on task assignments, comments, and changes in real-time for any project or task that you're a collaborator on ensuring that you're always in the loop.

Use the archive button to clear out notification messages you've read. It's a great way to get up-to date in the morning.

This is particularly valuable when managing remote teams or collaborating with clients.


In conclusion, Asana is quite versatile and aligns perfectly with the needs of IT project managers. It empowers you to structure your work, automate repetitive tasks, and maintain clear and efficient communication with your team.

We'll touch on a few more features like sections, forms and kanban boards, and later on the many ways you can view your project board.

So, why wait? Dive into Asana today and experience firsthand how it can revolutionize your project management game!

Passing Additional View Data to a DisplayTemplate

Passing additional ViewData Asp.NET MVC Now as the name suggests, ViewData might get you thinking about just that. Whereas there's a quite simple way to get your extra data across to a Display or Editor Template . This time the simplest answer is the one, though not the obvious one. Pass across your additionalViewData like you normally would @Html.DisplayFor( modelItem => item.ImageId, new { Class = "thumb-sm" } ) Then access if from your template using a simple ViewBag dynamic object. File Path /Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates/TemplateName.cshtml In this case we're passing along an additional class intended to allow us to control the size of the image rendered on the page. Haven't tried this in older versions of MVC, this will work in 4 & 5 Hope this helps someone, thought I'd put it up here as I forgot and spent a few minutes searching my code for the answer.  Thanks for reading.
