Asana Lacks Native Time Tracking, Week Numbers, and Open Gmail Integration
Project managers using Asana must rely on third-party tools for time tracking and lack standard calendar features like week numbers. The Gmail plugin is closed-source, preventing customization for specific workflows. These gaps force teams to maintain multiple tools where a unified platform would suffice.
