Engineering manager of 14 here. We tried Asana alongside our existing Jira instance and ultimately stayed in Jira for engineering work. Asana is better for cross-functional coordination than for pure engineering execution - dependency graphs, sprint planning, and code-context features just aren't built for our workflow. Where we use Asana: when engineering coordinates with marketing, design, or operations on shared initiatives, Asana is where the cross-team work happens. The bridge between Asana and Jira through native integration is functional but not seamless. Reporting across both tools requires manual aggregation. The Goals feature is useful for engineering OKRs visibility to leadership. For engineering teams considering Asana as a primary tool, I'd think twice unless you're early-stage.
