A shared project plan, or a connected operational record?

Asana provides broad work and project management with multiple views, forms, and custom fields. ACT gives physical operations an explicit place for sites, assets, checklists, and evidence.

ACT is preparing for early access. The checklist describes product capabilities; access is by invitation.

When Asana may fit.

Consider Asana when cross-functional projects and a flexible work-management platform are the main requirement, including its wider planning and coordination tools.

Does ACT cover all of Asana’s planning tools?

No. ACT is not a feature-for-feature replacement. If timeline planning, portfolios, or specific integrations are essential, compare those requirements directly before switching.
