Take advantage of keyboard shortcuts, it's what makes Asana feel so quick.

Asana lets you do things your own way (ie. it doesn't dictate a project management style), but a little structure is useful. Read their 'Best Practices:' http://help.asana.com/customer/portal/articles/84980-best-pr...

How would you manage the different stages of a development task in Asana: backlog -> in progress -> pending deployment -> deployed

In Trello, changing from one state to another is a matter of drag and dropping to the next list. How would you do that in Asana?

1. A task can belong to a number of projects. You could have projects for backlog, in progress, etc. and move a task between these (no drag/drop, but can be changed in the task panel)

2. Use tags instead, and use the tag filtering options.
