Teams adopting tools like Asana find the learning curve steep enough that the tool itself becomes a burden rather than a productivity aid. The cognitive overhead of mastering the system competes with the work it is meant to organize. This is a structural tension in feature-rich PM software that simpler tools attempt to exploit.
