Abstract:
All great achievements and progress in every sector -- from education to biotech to government -- is the result of teams of people working together. But coordinating teams is extremely hard, and only gets harder the larger an organization gets. In fact, the average knowledge worker spends more than half their time on work about work -- like meetings, status updates, and email hell. In this talk, Asana co-founder Justin Rosenstein will talk about how Asana (used by tens of thousands of companies including Uber, NASA, and Stanford) is empowering teams to do great things together. He'll discuss Asana's high-level product vision, approach to product design, technologies used, and active projects that incoming interns and new graduates could contribute to.
