Asana Client Workspace Launch (7-10 days)
A fixed-scope launch that turns a client's scattered campaign work into one Asana Work Graph with AI Teammates handling status reporting, so the agency bills setup once and keeps a monthly optimization retainer.
- Client sponsor identified who can approve workspace structure and user permissions
- Confirmed seat count per client team, since Asana Starter bills per user at $13.49 monthly or $10.99 annual
- Inventory of the client's existing tools that need native connections (Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Adobe Creative Cloud)
- Two or three representative past campaigns to use as template source material
- Agreed definition of what a weekly status report must contain before AI Teammates are configured
- 1.Create the Asana organization and define teams, projects, and user permissions
- 2.Map client stakeholders to Asana roles so guests and members are separated correctly
- 3.Confirm seat count against the Starter per-user rate before inviting anyone
- 1.Build project templates from the client's past campaigns using custom fields for channel, owner, and launch date
- 2.Configure Timeline and Gantt views for the campaign calendar
- 3.Set dependency links in the Work Graph so downstream deliverables flag upstream slippage
- 1.Connect Slack and Google Drive so task updates and creative files land inside Asana
- 2.Wire Salesforce so client deal or account context appears on project records
- 3.Add Microsoft Teams or Adobe Creative Cloud connections where the client's stack requires them
- 1.Configure AI Teammates for automated status reporting on active projects
- 2.Set automated task assignments and deadline reminders across the template
- 3.Test one full status cycle and correct any misrouted assignments
- 1.Build reporting dashboards for the client's weekly review
- 2.Set up goal tracking so campaign objectives roll up from tasks
- 3.Draft the escalation path for overdue dependencies
- 1.Run a live training session with the client team on task management and status updates
- 2.Record a short walkthrough of the dashboard and AI Teammate reports
- 3.Hand over a one-page operating guide
- 1.Launch the first live campaign project from the template
- 2.Monitor workspace health for the first reporting cycle
- 3.Log friction points for the monthly optimization retainer
- 1.Deliver the workspace audit summary and recommend automation additions
- 2.Agree the monthly optimization scope covering AI Studio workflow tuning and dashboard upkeep
Asana Starter carries no user seat limit on the plan itself but bills each seat at $13.49 monthly or $10.99 annual, so the client's tool cost scales with team size while the agency's setup fee stays fixed. A $299 to $599 launch against 8 to 10 hours of configuration work clears a healthy margin on day one, and the monthly optimization retainer (2 hours) is billed against a tool the client already pays for, which keeps renewal conversations about outcomes rather than software spend.
- Configured Asana organization with teams, permissions, and campaign project templates
- AI Teammate status reporting setup with a tested weekly report cycle
- Reporting dashboards and goal tracking tied to campaign objectives
- Integration map covering Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive, and the client's other connected tools
- Recorded client training walkthrough plus a one-page operating guide
The client's first live campaign runs end to end inside Asana with AI Teammates producing a weekly status report the client sponsor accepts without manual edits.
