Case Study: Udacity achieves scalable, affordable accredited online degrees with Asana

Udacity - Customer Case Study

Udacity, a company focused on making high-quality, affordable higher education accessible worldwide, faced scaling challenges as it built interactive online courses and a new accredited MS in Computer Science with Georgia Tech. Early workflows relied on spreadsheets and overflowing inboxes, making cross-functional collaboration and rapid course development unreliable and hard to track.

By rolling out Asana across teams and partners, Udacity implemented standardized project templates, transparent roadmaps, and centralized task/bug tracking that improved coordination between Content, Engineering, Design, and external faculty. The change enabled faster course development and ambitious projects like the fully online Georgia Tech MSCS (tuition under $7,000), drove a 75% surge in applicants in three weeks, and gave Udacity the operational foundation to scale education to learners worldwide.
