Item 1. Business
Overview
Asana is the system of action for work, built for the Agentic Enterprise. We provide a comprehensive solution where humans and AI agents can collaborate effectively so that individuals work smarter, teams move faster, and organizations deliver results. Over 180,000 paying customers across 200 countries and territories use Asana to connect their work to company goals and orchestrate mission-critical workflows like product launches, employee onboarding, resource planning, tracking company-wide strategic initiatives and more. By combining institutional memory with a governed execution surface, our platform enables organizations to orchestrate work across human and AI team members. This drives clarity, accountability, and impact across the organization from executives and department heads to the team leads, individuals, and agents delivering the work. In Asana, the "Who, What, When, and Why" of work is transparent, ensuring that every action, whether taken by a person or an AI agent, is grounded in real business context and aligned to strategic goals.
Why Asana was Founded
Asana was created because our co-founders experienced firsthand the work coordination challenges faced by large and growing companies. Instead of spending time on high impact work that generates results, employees get stuck in status meetings, lose time trying to use fragmented tools, and struggle to find information and coordinate work across a sprawl of emails, documents, and communication apps.
Our co-founders created Asana to address this work coordination, transparency, and execution problem. They developed a solution that brings cross-functional teams together effectively and created a dynamic record and dependency map of all work across the organization. From the goals at the top to the strategic portfolios in place to achieve those goals, down to the cross-functional projects and individual tasks that support those strategies – Asana captures it all. By building this proprietary map of how work relates, our Work Graph®, Asana provides the essential institutional memory and orchestration layer that allows both human teams and AI agents to work smarter to drive better outcomes, faster.
Our Business Model
Asana is a multi-product company with a hybrid go-to-market approach, combining a product-led model, direct sales and channel partners. Our approach follows a bottom-up and top-down model, where product adoption by individual teams provides the foundational signals for our direct sales team and channel partners to step in and scale strategic enterprise accounts. By combining our self-service engine with investments in our direct sales and channel programs, we meet customers wherever they are in their journey while maximizing account expansion and long-term value.
Many customers initially adopt our platform through product-led channels such as our website and free trials, often quickly expanding through customer support and professional services via the promotion of new use cases. As customers experience the productivity benefits of Asana, our platform becomes critical to tracking and orchestrating work to achieve business objectives faster, which drives further adoption and expansion. This pattern of increasing platform value is evidenced by our dollar-based net retention rate, which generally increases with greater organizational spend.
To further strengthen our enterprise motion, we maintain a partner program which includes a robust ecosystem of value-added resellers, managed service providers, and technology partners across more than 50 countries. These partners have unique expertise, services and products that complement Asana’s portfolio. Our sales program supports partner success via comprehensive education and certification resources and a global partner directory where customers can connect with Asana partners directly for project support or managed services.
The effectiveness of our hybrid go-to-market approach is demonstrated by our strong customer metrics. As of January 31, 2026, our dollar-based net retention rate for Core customers (those spending $5,000 or more annually)

was 97%, representing 25,928 customers. For our largest customers, spending $100,000 or more annually, our dollar-based net retention rate was 96%, comprising 817 customers.
Our Market
Challenges we Solve
Work continues to get harder to manage as organizations try to move faster to accomplish ambitious goals and respond to changing global conditions and market demands. Even as new technologies emerge, employees still spend approximately 55% of their work lives on busywork, rather than strategic, high value projects. This remains a persistent issue because teams are trying to manage critical projects across departments and geographies using a combination of spreadsheets, documents, emails, calls, and meetings. These mechanisms aren’t designed for coordinating work at scale so employees become overwhelmed trying to determine priorities, understand project status, or identify how individual tasks impact goals. Additionally, as companies move from testing AI to deploying it across the entire organization, they face new challenges: AI lacks the business context to be useful, isolated tools require employees to manually bridge the gaps between them, and a lack of oversight makes autonomous work risky and difficult to track. This business problem is uniquely solved by our purpose-built system of action. Asana reduces chaos, risk, and complexity by offering a governed execution platform for all work, where humans and AI agents operate from a shared, living institutional memory. By grounding every action in our proprietary Work Graph®, Asana ensures that the "Who, What, When, and Why" of work is transparent, accountable, and aligned with core business objectives.
The Agentic Enterprise
The challenges of coordinating work are now entering a new and more complex phase. AI is moving from assisting work to executing business-critical workflows, such as drafting campaigns, triaging tickets, and planning product launches. This marks the beginning of the Agentic Enterprise. But execution hasn’t become easier - it’s more fragmented and carries greater risk. While models are more powerful than ever, raw intelligence alone isn’t enough to drive business results. AI agents typically operate in isolation, without understanding how their work connects to team priorities and business goals. As AI velocity increases, this misalignment compounds. Additionally, without clear traceability or governance, organizations have no reliable way to know what AI is doing, why or whether it’s moving the business in the right direction - leaving them exposed to both operational risk and the financial sprawl of unpredictable, ungoverned AI activity.
Our architecture allows organizations to move beyond fragmented activity to collaborative execution in a single, governed space - enabling humans and AI agents to function as a high velocity, coordinated team where every action is visible, traceable, and subject to necessary human oversight and governance.
Our Solution
Asana provides a single, unified platform that creates clarity, accountability, and alignment at every level of an organization. By bringing scattered emails and data, ad-hoc requests, and inconsistent handoffs into one place, we enable individuals, team leads, and executives to visualize every task and workflow, and track progress and risks in real-time. With Asana, organizations can ensure all work across teams and cross-functional projects is moving toward company goals with a clear understanding of who is doing what, by when, and why it matters. This foundation of clarity allows our customers to move beyond manual coordination to automate work and orchestrate their entire tech stack through more than 300 integrations.
Our core work management product is available in a tiered, seat-based model: Personal, Starter, Advanced, Enterprise, and Enterprise+. This platform serves as the essential system of action upon which we offer the following specialized products and architectural differentiators:
Asana Work Graph
Underpinning the entire platform is the Asana Work Graph®, our proprietary data model. Unlike traditional container models that force work into siloed data tables, the Work Graph serves as the institutional memory that

Table of Contents
allows the entire organization to execute effectively and scale with confidence. It provides a structured map of how all work gets done, capturing the vital relationships and decisions made across all tasks, goals, people, and now, AI agents. By mapping the "Who, What, When, and Why," the Work Graph provides the shared context that is as critical for human collaboration as it is for AI accuracy.
Asana AI Teammates
Building on the context of the Work Graph, we offer AI Teammates, collaborative AI agents that work like real teammates to accelerate outcomes. These agents act as an extension of the team, collaborating and learning from everyone to get work done faster and better without adding headcount. They are designed to handle ambiguous, evolving work that requires iteration and feedback, allowing organizations to guide and govern their execution with confidence.
Asana AI Studio
Asana AI Studio is a complementary product for designing AI workflows to automate routine, structured, and repeatable processes. While AI Teammates manage ambiguous work, AI Studio allows teams to build AI workflows that handle tasks that need to happen the same way every time, such as intake and triage. Together, AI Studio and AI Teammates are designed to scale execution across the platform so teams can focus on high-impact work.
Asana Gov
For organizations with specialized security requirements, we offer Asana Gov, a secure platform designed for government agencies and regulated industries to deliver mission-critical programs. Built to operate in a FedRAMP environment, Asana Gov leverages the platform's core Work Graph to provide a clear, connected view of ownership and progress while meeting strict federal security and compliance standards. Asana has achieved a FedRAMP “In Process” designation at the Moderate level and is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace.
Platform Extensibility and Views
The Asana platform maintains a robust API that enables developers to build apps and integrate efficiently with hundreds of third-party applications like Microsoft Teams, Slack, Jira, Salesforce, and Adobe Creative Cloud. We have expanded this ecosystem through strategic partnerships with leading foundational model providers, including OpenAI and Anthropic, to power our AI features with state-of-the-art intelligence. These integrations ensure that Asana acts as the central system of action, connecting fragmented tools and models into a single, coordinated workspace.
Target Customers & Use Cases
Asana serves the needs of all workers and organizations. By providing a shared canvas where humans and AI operate with full visibility and context, we enable teams to work as a coordinated and high-velocity unit. With Asana:
•Individuals use Asana to manage every day work and complex, cross-functional projects. While the platform provides humans with the clarity needed to lead their own work, AI agents now act as an execution partner, aware of goals, priorities, and dependencies. This partnership allows individuals to remain in the driver’s seat of their projects while shifting their time away from the "busywork" of status updates and coordination toward judgment, creativity, and high-impact execution.
•Team leads and directors use Asana to orchestrate portfolios and reallocate resources to drive outcomes faster. The platform provides real-time visibility into bottlenecks and constraints and surfaces critical insights while preserving team focus. By integrating AI teammates to automate handoffs and project tracking, leaders can ensure execution remains continuous and high-velocity.
•Executives rely on Asana for a high-level view of strategic alignment across the entire business. The platform provides a governed environment to oversee a blended workforce, ensuring all activity, whether driven by people or agents, is traceable and accountable to strategic objectives.

We provide our software as a service to customers, so the technology we build includes deployment tools to ensure we can publish software updates rapidly and safely, as well as monitoring and automation tools.
Commitment to Security
Upholding the trust that we have established with our customers and gaining the trust of new customers remains a priority for us and as a result, we have implemented safeguards designed to protect the confidentiality and security of customer data. Our security program includes conducting risk assessments of our systems that process the data our customers store in Asana; monitoring for security events; maintaining incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans that explicitly address and provide guidance to our employees in furtherance of the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data; and having a qualified third party perform security assessments on a periodic basis to test against security standards and practices.
Our security program considers the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, and Confidentiality as well as the ISO 27001:2013 standards for the systems that process the data our customers store in Asana. We issue a SOC 2 Type II report on an annual basis and are certified against ISO 27001:2013, and ISO 27017:2015. This means that independent third parties have both validated our processes and practices with respect to these standards, and confirmed our ability to maintain compliance with controls we have implemented.
We have built our platform with security features, integrations, and infrastructure that are designed to be scalable as we develop and introduce new functionality. We have implemented a variety of safeguards designed to protect the security of our platform, including encrypting user data in transit and at rest, replicating our databases to support reliability of the platform, and controlling access to our facilities and office network.

Our commitment to meeting the rigorous security and compliance needs of regulated industries, including government customers, can be seen in our announced pursuit of FedRAMP authorization in the United States. This strategic initiative seeks to better enable healthcare providers, financial institutions, and governmental bodies to use Asana's work management platform while maintaining compliance with their strict security and privacy standards.
Data Protection and Privacy for Our Customers
We are committed to protecting the privacy rights of our customers. We have established a comprehensive privacy and data protection compliance program, aligning our practices with regulations such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“EU GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, “CCPA”). Asana also aligns its privacy program for the systems that process the data our customers store in Asana to privacy certifications such as ISO/IEC 27701:2019 and ISO 27018:2019. We deliver periodic training to our employees on privacy practices, review and map the data we collect, use, and share, and have created a global customer rights program to reply to customer requests pertaining to data privacy. Additionally, Enterprise customers can purchase a version of Asana that can be used to comply with their obligations under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. We strive to be transparent about our privacy and data protection practices. Law and regulatory guidance continues to evolve when it comes to privacy and data protection. As data protection authorities and regulators interpret and issue guidance on the EU GDPR, along with other new and existing privacy, data protection, and security laws around the world, we will continue to follow developments and enhance our privacy program as needed.
In the ordinary course of our business, we may process confidential, proprietary, and sensitive information, including personal information. Accordingly, we are, or may become, subject to numerous privacy, data protection, and security requirements, including federal, state, local, and foreign laws, and regulations related to privacy, data protection, and security. Several states within the United States have enacted or proposed privacy, data protection, and security laws and we expect more states to pass similar laws in the future. Additionally, we are, or may become, subject to various U.S. federal and state consumer protection laws which require us to publish statements that accurately and fairly describe how we handle personal information and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal information.
See the section titled Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information about some of the laws and regulations to which we may become subject and about the risks to our business associated with such laws and regulations.

Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property is an important aspect of our business. To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely upon a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, and contractual restrictions such as confidentiality agreements, licenses, and intellectual property assignment agreements. We maintain a policy requiring our employees, contractors, consultants, and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements to control access to our proprietary information. These laws, procedures, and restrictions provide only limited protection, and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed, or misappropriated. Furthermore, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we, therefore, may be unable to protect our proprietary technology in certain jurisdictions. Moreover, our platform incorporates software components licensed to the general public under open source software licenses. We obtain many components from software developed and released by contributors to independent open source components of our platform. Open source licenses grant licensees broad permissions to use, copy, modify, and redistribute certain parts of our service. As a result, open source development and licensing practices can limit the value of our software copyright assets.
As of January 31, 2026, we had been granted 120 U.S. patents, had 75 U.S. patent applications pending, and eight notices of allowance. Our issued patents expire between January 2031 and August 2044. We have not applied for patents in foreign jurisdictions. We continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property. We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the United States and in certain locations outside the United States.
Human Capital Management
We aim to be the change we want to see in the workplace. This strategy makes us a better company and contributes to the type of culture we want to work in: one of high impact and deep belonging.
We firmly believe that a strong and positive culture is the foundation for driving exceptional business results. As of January 31, 2026, our Glassdoor overall score sat at 4.1 out of 5.0. In our most recent global employee engagement survey, 68% of our employees indicated they would recommend Asana as a great place to work, 71% were proud to work for Asana, and 82% had a favorable rating of their manager. During 2025, we were recognized with the following awards that highlight our unwavering dedication to co-creating an environment where our employees thrive and, ultimately, drive the growth and success of our customers.
• Newsweek - America’s Greatest Workplaces by State (California);
• Newsweek - America’s Greatest Workplaces in Tech;
• Forbes - America’s Best Employers for Company Culture; and
• Forbes - America’s Best Midsize Employers.
Asana employed 1,767 people as of January 31, 2026, of which approximately 64% were located in the United States and approximately 36% were located internationally.
Compensation and Benefits
We believe that our future success largely depends upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. We provide our employees with competitive cash compensation, opportunities for equity ownership at all levels of the organization, development programs that enable continued learning and growth and a robust

employment package that promotes well-being across all aspects of their lives, including health care, retirement savings vehicles, and paid time off. Our compensation programs are designed to align employee interests with the long-term success of the company and to foster cross-business collaboration. In conjunction with our annual compensation review program, we run a regression-based analysis of our pay equity globally with the assistance of a third-party firm to ensure that we are promoting and retaining the best talent. As part of our promotion and retention efforts, we also invest in ongoing leadership development through programs such as our Leading at Asana training program for new managers, and encourage all employees to utilize an annual career growth budget to pursue development opportunities in alignment with their career goals. In addition, we regularly conduct employee surveys to gauge employee engagement and identify areas of focus.
