Asana is a task tracking and project management web application. It allows users to create an online workspace where a team can share their ideas and tasks with each other. The team members can delegate pats of a project. The program gives the users an overview of their responsibilities and of the project on the whole. It can be accessed through the browser and also on a mobile device, enabling users to stay connected to the project from anywhere.

Asana can be useful for students in divvying up responsibilities and tracking the progress of a class project, and it enables the group to communicate more effectively. Members of the group can designate tasks for the other members in the workspace. Improving communication between group members helps projects get done faster and better.
