Welcome to my channel! I'm Marquis Murray and my goal with this YouTube channel is to help you get the most out of your technology to gain clarity about the work within your organization. You'll learn how to create your own processes and use my go-to tool for staying on top of my life and business, Asana.

As a global Asana Solutions Partner and CEO of a process improvement consultancy (www.cirface.com), I spend my day creating systems to better my clients' businesses, creating automated workflows to make work easier, and standard operating procedures to align teams and organizations. Subscribe to this channel if you want to keep up to date with my content!

The Asana navigation experience has been updated.

The sidebar is now split into five modes:
Work
Agents
Strategy
Knowledge
People.

Each one keeps its own starred items, so what you use most sits where you expect it. We walk through the new sidebar, what changed and how each mode works.

And since we recorded, Asana added a customize navigation setting on top of it. You can reorder the modes, hide Strategy and People, and define your own navigation labels and icons.

You've implemented Asana. You've built the workflows. Your team is using it.

Then someone asks for the status of your initiatives, and you realise you cannot answer it quickly.

Our latest blog post covers Asana dashboards at all three levels, project, portfolio and universal reporting. Which one your question belongs at, how to build the charts, ten configurations you can copy, and your options for exporting the data when the reporting belongs outside Asana.

Layer Dash and AI Teammates on top of a setup that reports properly and the things that used to slip stop slipping.

An AI Teammate does not only work inside your Asana setup. It can now help you maintain it.

You have seen the working part. Drafting documents, building a project with tasks, assignees, due dates and dependencies, tracking project health, flagging blockers before they spread.

Two updates from the latest release added the maintenance part.

Reading rules. Ask your Teammate to summarize the rules in a project or portfolio. Triggers, conditions, actions, status, how they relate to each other, and what happened the last time each one ran.

Building rules with human review. Describe the workflow you want. Your Teammate drafts it in the rule builder. You review, edit, publish. Nothing goes live without you.
Same Teammate. Doing the work, and keeping the machinery behind the work clean.

We break down every Asana release in the Cirface newsletter. What shipped, and what it actually changes for you.

A milestone closes. The goal moves on its own.
That is what connected goals in Asana do. The goal pulls its progress from the projects underneath it, so nobody updates a status by hand.

Add Asana AI for writing the goals and drafting the updates, and AI teammates to watch both. We can support you on your goals implementation:

Teams rarely miss goals because people stopped trying. The goal just
got hard to find.

Quick test: open any task your team is working on today and ask which
goal it serves. If nobody can answer, no new tool fixes that.

Five suspects for the goals that went missing this year.
