Asana lacks native time tracking for freelancers
Teams managing freelancers in Asana cannot track billable time per assignee without switching to a separate tool. This forces context switches between the PM platform and time-tracking apps, creating reconciliation overhead. While third-party integrations exist, native support would reduce friction for agencies and studios.
