Asana alone Asana + BlinkMetrics
Historical Reporting & Trend Analysis
  • Live View Only. Offers a real-time snapshot but no ability to view or report on past data states and trends.
  • Complete History. Automatically captures daily snapshots of your data, enabling full historical trend analysis and performance comparison over time.
Custom Filtering & Data Segmentation
  • Rigid. Difficult to segment data dynamically by custom fields (e.g., client, product) without creating new, permanent charts.
  • Dynamic & Instant. Slice and dice your data in real-time by any field assignee, project, custom properties for on-the-fly analysis.
Reporting Depth
  • Basic. Good for top-level project management overview and basic operational data snapshots.
  • Advanced Analytics with custom reporting, historical trends, and actionable insights tailored to your workflow.
Cross-Project Dashboards
  • Single Project or limited rollup. Does not allow robust blending of multiple projects in one view.
  • Multi-Project with robust ability to report on your whole workspace or any blend of the projects within it.
Multi-Source Dashboards
  • Asana Only. Does not allow you to connect to other business data sources. You miss out on the power and actionable insights that come from blended reporting.
  • Multi-Source. Pull your Asana workspace data plus intel from other systems (marketing, sales, finance, time tracking) into unified dashboards for new clarity.
Global Filters
  • No Global Filter. Filtering by date range or other parameter has to be done on a per-widget basis across each dashboard widget. There is no global filter for a dashboard.
  • Multiple Global Filters. Unified custom filters let you switch date ranges, teams, or portfolios across the entire view in one step.
Dashboard Design
  • Restricted. Your dashboard is restricted to the pre-existing widgets and layouts in Asana's library.
  • Custom Build. Your custom done-for-you dashboard is designed to support your workflow and answer your unique business questions.
Calculated Metrics, KPIs, & Formulas
  • Limited Options for calculated KPIs, ratios, or custom performance metrics. Teams are forced to export into spreadsheets for anything beyond simple counts and statuses.
  • Robust custom and calculated metric functionality across 1+ tool sources, designed around your unique business reporting needs and incorporated directly into your dashboards.
Planned vs. actual (budget / effort)
  • No Support for comparing planned versus actual costs or effort, and limited support for budget tracking and cost variance across projects.
  • Reports on variances. Connects Asana with financial or time-tracking data to show planned vs. actual effort and spend, making it easy to surface over-budget work and projects trending off plan.

Beyond reporting

Prioritization shouldn't be a guess. Or a standup argument.

The reporting you rely on, now with the automation to act on it. Your dashboards show what's happening. This decides what your team does next. We configure a prioritization engine inside Asana that scores every task on a transparent, weighted formula using factors of your choice, like due-date pressure, blockers, strategic focus, and who's waiting, then writes a live priority number to each one, refreshed daily. No more subjective High/Medium/Low, where the loudest voice wins. Just one objective ranking you can sort any view by, so the most important work rises on its own. We build it, document it, and tune it with you as priorities shift.

The priority pyramid BlinkMetrics uses to score Asana tasks: five levels, from Reliability at the base up through Work in Progress, Internal Efficiency, and Product Improvement to Sales/Marketing at the top

Have questions about what's possible or how this works?

These are the questions we get most frequently, but we'd love to talk with you on a quick call.

  • Do you handle the setup, or will my team need to do it?

    Your BlinkMetrics dashboard is fully done-for-you. No coding or developers are required. You just tell us what you want and our team builds it.

  • How long does it take to get my BlinkMetrics + Asana dashboard live?

    Setup is quick and simple. Connecting your Asana account and other data sources takes just a few minutes. Our team will deliver your custom dashboard in 30-days or less.

  • What happens during a BlinkMetrics + Asana demo?

    Meet with our founder, Nathan, to walk through a live BlinkMetrics Asana dashboard and visualize what deeper Asana reporting could look like for you.

  • What will I see in BlinkMetrics that I can't get from native Asana reporting?

    Native Asana reporting is great for quick snapshots, but it struggles with history, cross-project trends, and deeper workload or performance analysis. With BlinkMetrics, you can see how your Asana data changes over time, compare projects and teams in one place, and drill into the “why” behind bottlenecks, slippage, and capacity issues.

  • Can BlinkMetrics create custom dashboards or views for different teams and departments?

    Yes. We can build focused dashboards for different audiences—operations, leadership, client services, specific departments—using the same underlying Asana data. Each group can get its own views, filters, and KPIs without duplicating work, so people only see what’s relevant to them while you maintain a single source of truth.

  • How does BlinkMetrics handle historical Asana reporting?

    BlinkMetrics takes regular snapshots of your Asana environment and stores them in a dedicated analytics layer. That means you can rewind to see what portfolios, projects, workloads, and key metrics looked like at any point in time, compare periods (like this quarter vs. last), and track trends without manually archiving or exporting data.

  • Can BlinkMetrics help us prioritize the work, not just report on it?

    Yes. Beyond dashboards, we can configure an automatic prioritization engine inside your Asana. It scores every task on a transparent, weighted formula that weighs due-date pressure, blockers, strategic focus areas, and who's waiting on it, then writes a live priority score to each task that refreshes daily. Your team sorts any list, board, or portfolio by it and always knows what to work next.

  • How is the priority score calculated, and is it a black box?

    No. It's a deterministic formula built from signals you choose and weight. Every score is explainable down to the points, we document it for your team, and we re-tune the weights as your priorities shift each quarter.

  • Will this disrupt how my team already uses Asana?

    No. It runs quietly in the background and simply adds a priority score to the tasks you already have. Nobody changes how they work. They just get a consistent, reliable ranking to sort by. We handle the setup, configuration, and ongoing support.

Ready for the ultimate Asana reporting dashboard?

We've used Asana since 2010 (yes, really). We have a ton of data in Asana, we have found many reporting gaps, and we have filled them all.
