Pros and cons
Both tools are good at different things. Here is where each one shines, and where it falls short.
AllScrum
Pros
- A working board the moment you name a project
- Sprints, backlog, story points and burndown without configuration
- Epics group related tasks across the board, backlog and sprints
- Ready-made automation rules: assign, unassign, set fields, flag overdue work and notify people
- Ask AI about your board, brainstorm, and have it draft tasks you confirm
- Connect Claude or ChatGPT through MCP, or automate with the REST API
- Import from Jira, Trello, Asana and Zoho Projects; export to CSV or JSON
- Keyboard shortcuts: N to add, Ctrl K to search, hold Ctrl for quick actions
- Works on phones and offline, with changes syncing when you reconnect
- Passkeys and two-factor sign-in for every account
Cons
- No Gantt chart: the timeline shows sprints and dated work over twelve weeks
- No time tracking or timesheets
- No custom fields; automation is a set of ready-made rules, not a rule builder
- No app store apps: you install it from the browser
- No integrations marketplace: connect other tools through the REST API
- Ask AI has a monthly allowance per person
Asana
Pros
- Many ways to view work: list, board, calendar, timeline and Gantt
- Goals, portfolios and reporting for managers
- Forms, rules and approvals to automate requests
- Suits marketing, operations and other non-software teams
Cons
- No built-in sprint planning, story points or burndown
- Free plan is limited to 2 users
- Timeline, custom fields and reporting need a paid plan
Which one should you pick?
Choose Asana if
You coordinate many projects across departments, need timelines and portfolios, or want forms and approvals for incoming work.
Choose AllScrum if
Your team works in sprints and wants sprint planning, story points and a burndown on a fast, keyboard-friendly board.
Not sure? The board on the home page is a live demo. Drag a few cards, try the shortcuts and see if it feels right, no account needed.
Switching from Asana
AllScrum imports from Asana, so moving a team over takes minutes:
- Open Import on your dashboard or in a workspace and choose Asana. Connect with an Asana personal access token and pick the projects to bring along.
- Pick what comes along: which projects, their names and keys, which lane each status goes to, and which account each person is.
- Import. Tasks arrive with their descriptions, comments, priorities, due dates and assignees, and work that was finished long ago goes straight to the archive.
- Invite your team by email, or share the whole workspace with a team at once, then plan the first sprint from the backlog.
Changed your mind later? Owners and admins can export a project or a whole workspace to CSV or JSON at any time.
Incident postmortem in AllScrum
AllScrum includes a structured incident postmortem workflow in Meetings: a shared report, chronological incident timeline, team observations, and Draft → Review → Published status. Keep the review alongside its corrective tasks, with optional named guest contributions and Ask AI summaries and task proposals.
If reviewing outages and following up on reliability work is part of your process, explore the incident postmortem workflow and template when evaluating AllScrum.
