Asana Workspace for Lead Tracking and
Campaign Planning
This case study shows how Asana was used as an enterprise-level work management
system. It highlights the full setup, from building the workspace structure to loading
resources and organizing multi-channel marketing campaigns.
The examples demonstrate my ability to create scalable workflows that support clear
accountability, smooth team coordination, and organized project execution across
different departments.

The image (page 3) shows the Central Executive Home of an Asana workspace, which acts as the
main dashboard where planning and daily tasks come together. It’s the control center for setting
priorities, tracking deadlines across different portfolios, and keeping a clear view of all team
deliverables.
The “My Tasks” section in the middle is organized into “Upcoming,” “Overdue,” and “Completed.” This
reflects strong workload and task management. By grouping tasks by urgency and status, I stay on
top of important deadlines and maintain high personal productivity, which is especially useful in fastmoving marketing and agency environments.
On the left sidebar, features like Home, Inbox, Projects, Portfolios, and Work show Asana’s full
structure. This setup supports scalable project management, letting me organize everything from
small tasks to full marketing portfolios in a way that aligns with larger business goals.
The Inbox tab highlights Asana’s system for asynchronous communication, keeping conversations,
approvals, and updates organized without messy email threads. This reduces confusion and keeps all
decisions in one place.

The image (page 5) shows the Project Foundation Stage inside Asana. It features a new workspace titled
“LEADWAY PARTNER ONBOARDING WORKFLOW” in List View. This early setup stage is important because it's
where sections, tasks, and dependencies are defined to turn an idea into a workable plan.
The project name at the top reflects structured workflow design. Using clear, descriptive titles is a key part
of knowledge management, helping anyone who opens the workspace immediately understand the project’s
purpose. This makes cross-functional alignment much easier.
The selected List View, with columns for “Name,” “Assignee,” and “Due date,” shows a clean layout for linear
project planning. While boards work well for agile teams, the list format is ideal for milestone tracking and
breaking work into sections, tasks, and subtasks. This helps identify the critical path needed to reach launch.
The empty “Assignee” column highlights readiness for capacity planning. Once tasks are added, each one
can be assigned to a clear Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) to avoid confusion or overload.
Finally, the navigation tabs: Overview, List, Board, Timeline, Dashboard, show Asana’s multi-modal project
management capabilities. Each view supports different needs, from daily task execution to KPI-focused
reporting.

The image (page 7) shows the execution stage of the Leadway Partner Onboarding project in Asana’s List
View. It highlights a structured approach to capacity planning by tracking estimated time versus actual time
alongside each task’s due date. This setup supports accurate billable hour calculations and helps measure
how efficiently the work is being completed.
The “Estimated time” and “Actual time” columns (e.g., 1h vs 40m) reflect strong resource utilization tracking.
Comparing planned effort with real effort makes it easier to assess operational efficiency, improve future
project planning, and spot tasks that could be automated to save time.
The section labeled “Initial Outreach” lists tasks like “Data Information” and “Contact Business Owners.” This
shows clear workflow sequencing, where tasks are grouped into stages. Each step must be completed before
moving forward, helping maintain a smooth process and preventing bottlenecks.
The “Assignee” column shows “Paul” assigned to every task in this phase, which demonstrates role-based
execution. Having one Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) ensures full accountability, especially in remote
teams, so tasks like “Monitoring for replies” always have a clear owner.

The image (page 9) shows the Task Detail Pane in Asana, which is the main area used to manage each
deliverable. It demonstrates how a basic task can be turned into a full Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
by using the description box, dependencies, and custom fields. This approach keeps execution consistent
and ensures every task contains the information needed to complete it correctly.
The “Description” field explains the task clearly (e.g., “This section represents businesses that have been
initially contacted…”). This reflects strong SOP integration because instructions are placed directly inside the
task, reducing context switching and giving any team member immediate insight into the work and its
purpose.
The sidebar fields: “Projects,” “Dependencies,” “Estimated time,” and “Actual time” support a solid data
structure. Setting dependencies ensures that later tasks, such as “Call Schedule,” can only begin after earlier
steps like “Data Information” are completed, which maintains process integrity.
The bottom part of the panel, which includes comments and assignment history, acts as a live audit trail.
Every update, change, or reassignment is automatically recorded. This is important for compliance,
accountability, and understanding how the task moved from start to finish.

The image (page 11) shows a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) inside Asana for managing a multi-channel
marketing campaign. It highlights how larger deliverables; like SMS, Email, and Social campaigns are broken
into smaller subtasks, making the workflow organized, detailed, and easy to execute. This setup supports
structured campaign planning and smooth collaboration across different team roles.
The “SMS Campaigns” parent task is expanded to reveal four subtasks, such as “Track Date of Response” and
“Offer them a demo.” This reflects strong campaign granularity, turning broad goals into clear action steps. It
helps ensure every part of the customer journey, from the first SMS to the demo offer, is tracked and
completed properly.
Different assignees are listed across the subtasks, with “Paul” managing tracking tasks and “ybrytee”
handling follow-up communication. This shows effective team coordination, allowing each specialist to focus
on their part. It also supports parallel execution, so multiple steps of the campaign move forward at the
same time.
Each subtask also has a time estimate (e.g., “30m” for follow-ups or “2h 00m” for tracking). This helps with
cost analysis, making it easier to understand labor costs, measure ROI, and adjust the strategy if a task takes
too long for the value it brings.

The image (page 13) highlights the Collaboration Hub inside an Asana task. It shows how the comment
section creates a central space for real-time communication, helping the team share updates, resolve
blockers quickly, and stay aligned. This replaces scattered email threads with clear, context-based
communication, which makes problem-solving faster and more organized.
The conversation between “Paul” and “ybrytee” shows true asynchronous collaboration. By keeping all
updates directly on the task, no one needs to search through Slack or email for information, the full history is
stored in one place as a single source of truth.
The instruction asking for updates to be shared with the team and noting that blockers will be reported
reflects strong risk management. Calling out potential issues early supports agile project execution, giving
the project lead time to remove obstacles before they affect deadlines.
Updates like “marketing working on this section” and reminders about delivery timelines help with
stakeholder expectation management. Documenting clear commitments (“on or before the due dates”)
builds accountability and transparency, ensuring everyone stays aligned on responsibilities and next steps.

The image (page 15) shows the Operational Dashboard View used for partner onboarding. Instead of just
listing tasks, it uses clear visual indicators, like color-coded response tags and collaborator icons, so anyone
can quickly understand project progress without opening each task.
The "Response Status" colors (Yellow for Acknowledged, Blue for Interested, Green for Committed, Red for
No Response) help maintain clean pipeline visibility. With these colors, managers can instantly spot
bottlenecks (Red) or strong leads (Green), allowing faster decisions and better resource prioritization.
The "Collaborators" column, where tasks like “SMS Campaigns” have icons such as “Pa” or “yb,” highlights
team collaboration. It shows that marketing and sales tasks involve multiple people, and everyone gets
notified automatically, keeping communication open and responsibilities clear.
The “Initial Outreach” area includes completed items like “Data Information” and “Contact Business Owners,”
proving the workflow follows a step-by-step structure. Bigger milestones only move forward when all subtasks are done, ensuring strong quality control.

The image (page 17) breaks down the Campaign + Tracking phase, showing how SMS,
Email, and Social campaigns are divided into smaller actions with owners and deadlines.
Time entries like “30m” or “2h 30m” give insight into efficiency and help calculate the cost
per interaction. Seeing different results across channels (e.g., Email No Response vs. Social
Committed) also supports quick channel performance decisions to improve ROI.

The image (page 19) shows the Executive Summary View of the project workflow. With the use of collapsed
toggles, it provides a clean, high-level overview of the full customer journey, from “Initial Outreach” all the
way to “Declined Proposal.” This view is designed for easier strategic planning and reporting because it
removes daily task clutter and focuses on the main project stages.
Each collapsed section, such as “Initial Outreach,” “Campaign + Tracking,” “Kick-off Phase,” and “Active
Partners,” reflects the project’s lifecycle structure. It follows the same flow as a typical Customer Journey
Map, helping stakeholders quickly confirm that every important phase is properly included in the workflow.
The simplified interface, where sub-tasks are hidden until expanded, shows how the layout supports
management-friendly UX. Leaders don’t need to see every small task, they need a clear roadmap. The
toggle design allows layered information, making top-level decisions faster while still keeping details
available when needed.
The final section, “Declined Proposal,” is intentionally included to ensure full-cycle tracking. Capturing lost
deals is important for accurate churn analysis and helps keep the pipeline clean by preventing inactive or
dead leads from remaining inside active stages.

The image (page 21) shows the Kanban Board View in Asana, built to mirror a tested lead-management
workflow. It demonstrates how I translate agile processes (originally created in Trello) into Asana’s stronger,
enterprise-level system. This board clearly maps the full customer lifecycle, from first contact to active
partnership.
The columns labeled CONTACTED, INTERESTED, ONBOARDING, and LIVE show how the workflow scales.
While the layout feels similar to Trello, replicating this on Asana add more advanced features like custom
automation rules, dependencies, and portfolio-level reporting. This proves I can migrate existing pipelines
into more powerful platforms without disrupting daily operations.
In the LIVE column, card covers with brand logos (such as “Aspire Los Angeles”) help create a clear visual
hierarchy. Using visuals for active accounts separates revenue-generating clients from early-stage leads,
making it easy for teams to see which partners need priority and where the portfolio stands.
The columns UNDECIDED and DECLINED show the importance of keeping full pipeline history. Tracking
stalled or lost deals supports better churn analysis, post-mortem reviews, and more accurate targeting.
Matching this structure with the earlier Trello version displays strong platform agility, proving I can apply the
same SOPs across different tools while maintaining efficiency and clarity.

The image (page 23) shows the Inbox Command Center in Asana. It brings all project activity into one place,
including task assignments, status updates, and collaborator actions. This makes it easier to stay organized
and maintain operational transparency, so no important update gets lost in a busy workflow.
The “Activity” feed displays updates like “Paul added new tasks” and items such as “Reasons for decline” or
“Maintain a Positive Relationship.” This reflects workflow synchronization. Instead of checking multiple emails
or apps, the Inbox acts as a single source of truth for all project movement. It helps the team respond quickly
to new tasks and stay aligned on current priorities.
There are updates showing when collaborators are added or when tasks are marked complete. This supports
collaborative synergy by tracking handoffs between team members. When someone finishes a task I depend
on, like “Address questions” I can immediately start the next step, reducing delays and improving
productivity.
The task list includes simple action icons (like thumbs up and comments) and blue dots for unread updates.
This encourages agile responsiveness, allowing quick reactions without switching tools. These small
interactions help reduce context switching and keep the project flowing smoothly.

The image (page 25) shows the Permissions & Sharing panel, where the project team is built and managed. It
helps control who can access the workflow and how much influence they have over the project. This is
important for proper resource management and maintaining strong data governance.
The “Invite with email” field and the list of current members (like “Paul” and “ybrytee”) demonstrate team
scalability. New teammates, whether internal staff or external contractors, can be added quickly through
email. This makes it easy to fill resource gaps and support changing project needs without slowing down the
workflow.
The permissions dropdown offers roles such as “Project admin,” “Editor,” “Commenter,” and “Viewer.” This
supports strong data security. Everyone is added with the right level of access. Core team members may get
editing permissions, while other stakeholders can be limited to viewing or commenting. This protects the
structure of the project and prevents accidental changes.
The “Guest” label next to ybrytee@xxx shows client or vendor integration. It allows external partners to
collaborate safely without giving them full access to the company’s workspace. This maintains confidentiality
while still providing clear, transparent communication and updates.

summary
Asana Workspace for Lead Tracking
and Campaign Planning
Overall, these examples show a well-rounded skillset that connects technical setup
with real operational strategy. Through strong capacity planning, proper role-based
permissions, and structured campaign frameworks, I build systems that improve team
efficiency.
This ensures complex tasks and marketing deliverables are not only tracked properly
but also optimized for better performance, faster execution, and stronger results.
