Case Study: VMware scales engineering and boosts project visibility for Tanzu Observability with Asana

VMware scales engineering for Tanzu Observability by Wavefront with Asana

Tanzu Observability by Wavefront (part of VMware), a global team of roughly 200 engineers building large‑scale monitoring for cloud applications, struggled as it scaled: engineering work lived in Jira while high‑level planning sat in static spreadsheets, creating disconnected systems, outdated information, excessive meetings, and unclear roadmaps and delivery dates.

The team adopted Asana with Jira and Slack integrations, flexible boards and templates, and automated status syncs to create a single source of truth. That change eliminated manual updates, improved visibility into timelines, dependencies, and progress, reduced coordination overhead and meetings, and let teams plan, track releases, and iterate faster across a distributed organization.
