What Asana is and where things live

• Asana is a work management app. Teams use it to plan projects, assign work and see who does what by when. Asana AI is built in, and later lessons cover it.
• A task is one action item. It has one assignee (the person responsible), a due date, and collaborators who get updates.
• A project groups the tasks for one initiative, split into sections. You can view it as a list, board, timeline and more. Teams are groups like Marketing.
• The sidebar has Home, My tasks (all work assigned to you), Inbox (updates on your work) and your projects. Click Create to add a task or project.
• Personal is the free plan, and it includes no Asana AI. Paid plans (Starter, Advanced, Enterprise) add AI once an admin turns it on. Use your company's Asana for work.
