Decision Kit
Summary
Asana is used for collaborative project management and tracking. It can integrate emails, files, tickets, and more offering over 100 integrations. GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, providing not only project management, but also planning, CI/CD, packaging, verification, release, and monitoring, all automatically looping back their status and data from across the lifecycle into the issues being tracked. ## Weakness Asana is less powerful than GitLab Issues within the issue descriptions themselves… e.g. no deep linking to comments, no automatic cross-linking between issues when they are mentioned, etc. ## Resources * Asana website * Asana Wikipedia

Project Issue Board
GitLab has Issue Boards, each list of an Issue Board is based on a label that exists in your issue tracker. The Issue Board will therefore match the state of your issue tracker in a user-friendly way. |

Multiple Project Issue Boards
Large companies often have hundreds of different projects, all with different moving parts at the same time. GitLab allows for multiple Issue Boards for a single project so you can plan, organize, and visualize a workflow for a feature or product release. Multiple Issue Boards are particularly useful for large projects with more than one team or in situations where a repository is used to host the code of multiple products. |

Issue Board Label Lists
An Issue Board is based on its project’s label structure, therefore, it applies the same descriptive labels to indicate placement on the board. GitLab issues can appear on multiple issues and they still have meaning without the context of a particular board. |
