You can probably get away with skipping the "oh aren't we awesome"
bit at the beginning, but there are some interesting workflows
described later in the video:

http://asana.wistia.com/medias/1mxnk374f3

- You can hit '@' in the description or comment fields to pull in
someone's name or any item in Asana (projects, tasks, etc).

- You can make 'reminder' tasks by setting a due date of when you want
to be reminded, then moving it to the Later section. It will resurface
in your regular tasks on the due date.

- It's possible to easily duplicate projects. So for instance, we
could set up a project for "TEMPLATE: New CI engineer tasks". When
someone joins, they can duplicate it to "Bob Bobbertson: New CI
engineer tasks", then go through and tick off the items one-by-one.

- One really clever idea they had is to create a "Product
Opportunities" project. They encourage anyone on the team to add in
over time any ideas they have to make the product more successful.
Other team members can then come in and heart their favourite ideas.
You can then sort by hearts and see what the team thinks best product
opportunities are.

- Through the advanced search it's really easy to generate reports
like, "What are all the tasks completed by Bob, Jane, and Brian in the
past 30 days." He positioned it as a good way to stop, reflect, and
celebrate progress.
