About this course

Take control of how your team works by mastering Asana from the ground up. In this course, you will build the practical skills that project managers and coordinators use every day—setting up tasks, managing deadlines, tracking status, and creating dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into project health. You will start with the foundations of task setup and data entry, then progress to advanced techniques like effort-based capacity planning, KPI dashboard configuration, and workload balancing using story points. Each skill builds toward a capstone project where you design a complete team productivity dashboard tailored for executive reporting. Whether you are new to Asana or looking to unlock its more powerful features, this course prepares you to manage projects with greater clarity, efficiency, and confidence. By the end, you will have a portfolio-ready dashboard that demonstrates your ability to translate raw task data into actionable insights—a skill that sets strong project coordinators apart.

What you will learn

  • Build an effort-based workload view using story points to plan team capacity and prevent over-allocation across sprints.
  • Configure a real-time KPI dashboard with color-coded thresholds that gives leadership instant visibility into project health and risks.
