Case Study: NTEN achieves faster course launches, streamlined conference planning, and improved team visibility with Asana

NTEN empowers nonprofits to use technology with Asana

NTEN is a Portland-based nonprofit that supports a community of 50,000+ members and runs an annual conference of 2,400+ attendees. With a small distributed team, tight budgets, and growing initiatives, NTEN struggled with information silos, unclear responsibilities, missed steps, and outdated tools that slowed project delivery.

NTEN adopted Asana—taking advantage of nonprofit pricing—and rolled it out via a pilot, templates, and peer-led onboarding. Using forms, Portfolios, Workload, and project templates, they gained visibility into work, sped up course launches, improved conference planning, and streamlined design requests, resulting in faster production, clearer responsibilities, and more time for strategic and creative work.
