Asana Consulting in Edinburgh
Advice on using Asana properly across Edinburgh organisations. A recurring finding is that the higher tiers are bought for portfolios, goals and reporting, and then nobody maintains the data those features depend on — so leadership sees dashboards built on projects that stopped being updated in March.
Why this comes up
The problem
Asana is used differently by every team, reporting across them is impossible, and the premium features being paid for are not producing anything.
What you get
What we deliver
- Project structure and naming agreed so work can be found and aggregated
- A convention for what is a project, a task and a subtask, applied consistently
- Portfolio and goal use assessed honestly against whether anyone maintains them
- Tier and seat review, since organisations commonly pay for unused capability
- Reporting built on fields teams actually populate rather than aspirational ones
- Training for daily users, which matters more than administrator training

Asana Consulting in Edinburgh — common questions
- Why does reporting not work?
- Because it depends on data nobody enters. Portfolios and dashboards aggregate fields and dates, and if teams do not maintain status, due dates or custom fields consistently, the reports are confidently wrong. Fixing the input discipline is the only route to useful output.
- Are we paying for the right tier?
- Worth checking. Higher tiers are frequently bought for one capability that a single team wanted, while seats accumulate for people who left or only need to comment. Reviewing both against actual use often funds the rest of the work.
- What convention matters most?
- Agreeing what constitutes a project. Teams that create a project per client, per campaign and per quarter simultaneously produce an unnavigable list, and no amount of tagging recovers it. One rule, applied across the organisation, does more than any other change.
- Should we use goals and portfolios?
- Only if someone owns keeping them current. They are genuinely useful where leadership reviews them on a rhythm and teams update accordingly; they are an expensive decoration where they are set up once and revisited annually. That is an organisational question rather than a configuration one.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
