Trello vs. Asana
From Quora: http://www.quora.com/How-does-Asana-compare-to-Trello
“It’s like BMW vs. Mercedes. Taste plays a role. ;-) In a
nutshell my personal view is that:
• Asana is the perfect tool for the CEO and the product
manager
• Trello is the perfect tool for the team and individual
team members”
