Case Study: Compassion Australia achieves streamlined project management and improved cross-team collaboration with Asana

Compassion Australia scales project management with Asana

Compassion Australia, a faith-based international development organisation with eight offices and about 170 staff, needed to scale and decentralise project management so teams could run campaigns, fundraising and operations more independently. The PMO wanted to break down silos, consolidate communication, standardise processes and improve visibility of work and resourcing by adopting a single work-management platform.

They chose Asana for its templates, Timeline (Gantt)-like view, Kanban boards, integrations and ease of use, rolling it out first to existing project leads with trainings from Asana’s Customer Success Manager. Today Asana is used across departments — marketing, finance, travel and more — resulting in clearer cross-team collaboration, real-time visibility into projects and resources, faster identification of roadblocks and improved efficiency for large initiatives like national fundraising events.
