SAN FRANCISCO – (COMMERCIAL THREAD) – Asana, the fastest growing work management app for teams, today unveiled its all-new integration for Slack, the world’s leading collaboration center, at the inaugural Slack Spec conference in San Francisco.

“Slack and Asana believe in the power of teamwork and have led the way in enabling teams to do great things together,” said Alex Hood, Product Manager at Asana. “Our goal is to give organizations the clarity they need to execute their projects and processes, so they can do more with less effort. More than half of Asana customers use Slack, so these two solutions should work together effortlessly. With the latest innovations from the Slack platform, our new integration allows teams to act on Asana updates that come into Slack, and even turn Slack messages into Asana tasks or comments without leaving Slack. This is what our customers demand. ”
Fast-moving teams communicate with each other all day, often through real-time messaging tools. In addition to communicating about their work in tools like Slack, teams must also to coordinate their job: defining who does what and when, managing execution, tracking progress and making adjustments as things change.
