Move over from Asana
Step 1
Start a board
Create a workspace and a board for each Asana project, or start from a template.
Step 2
Bring active work
Add the tasks that are still open, or start each board from a template. There is no direct Asana import yet.
Step 3
Invite the team
Invite people, schedule the standup and set up the automations you used as Asana rules.
Dogorithm fits when
- Your team has 3 to 25 people and finds Asana heavier than the work.

- You run standups and calls in other tools today.
Stay on Asana when
- You manage many teams with portfolios, forms and workload planning.
