How to move from Asana in three steps
Start with one live client project
Create a free board for the project you are busiest on and add its open cards. There is no importer from Asana yet, so moving the work in progress — not the archive — is the quickest start.
Invite the team and decide what the client sees
Add your team, then mark the cards, columns and comments the client may see. Everything else stays agency-only, and labels are never shown to clients.
Send the client their link
Share a read-only link that needs no account, or invite the client to raise requests and answer questions on the card. Keep Asana for older projects until they close.
