Teams that search for a Trello Asana integration are almost always running both: Trello for the lightweight Kanban board the ops team loves, Asana for the project surface the delivery team runs. The sync between the two is a weekly maintenance tax that drops cards, loses comments, and leaves the CRM record with no project context. Strkr Projects replaces the stitched stack with one native layer that handles Kanban, task management, dependencies, and the link back to the deal that funded the work.
Teams rarely plan to run both tools. The stack grows organically. Marketing adopts Trello for the editorial board. Delivery adopts Asana for the implementation project. Sales operations tries to bridge the two with a sync tool, and the bridge becomes the brittle point. The replacement conversation starts when a project is late because the status in Trello and the status in Asana disagree.
Trello is the easiest Kanban surface to adopt. A board, three columns, drag the cards. Marketing teams, ops teams, and small departments pick it up without a training session. The strength is also the ceiling: when the project grows past 40 cards per column, the Trello board stops scaling.
Asana is a stronger task surface than Trello. Dependencies, sections, custom fields, portfolio views. The implementation project that lives in Asana runs on these affordances, and the delivery team is reluctant to give them up when the Kanban team pushes for a single tool.
A sync tool catches card creation in Trello and creates a task in Asana. A status change in Asana writes back to a Trello label. The sync is nearly right, which is worse than wrong, because the two boards diverge in ways nobody notices for a week. Twice a quarter someone spends a day reconciling.
The project in Asana was funded by a Salesforce or HubSpot deal. The Trello board for the account has a card for that project. Neither tool has the deal context on the task surface, so the delivery team runs the project without the context that would prevent the next scope-creep conversation.
The Trello board shows cards by status. The Asana project shows tasks by assignee. The CRM dashboard shows deals by stage. The three never agree. The executive asks how many implementation projects are late and the answer takes a day to assemble.
The guest in Asana is a different user record from the collaborator in Trello and the lead in the CRM. User provisioning hits three surfaces, deprovisioning hits three surfaces, and the security review has three audit surfaces. The stack-cost line is not just subscription cost.
Strkr Projects is the project management module inside Strkr. It handles Kanban boards, task lists, dependencies, custom field layouts, resource views, and the native link back to the CRM record. The module replaces both halves of the Trello Asana stitched stack with one surface that lives in the same system as the deal.
A board with columns, cards, labels, drag-to-move, and inline edit. The Trello user who sits down in Strkr Projects for the first time finds the familiar surface. The columns are configurable per project type, the labels are shared across the workspace, and the cards link to the underlying issue record.
Dependencies, parent-child relationships, sections, custom fields, and portfolio rollups. The delivery team's Asana project maps directly to a Strkr project with the same affordances. Dependencies render on the Gantt view, and the critical path is visible without a separate planning tool.
Every project links back to the Strkr CRM account and the deal that funded the project. The delivery team sees the deal context on the project. The sales team sees the project status on the deal. Scope-creep conversations happen with the right data in the room.
Sprints, backlog grooming, capacity planning, and burndown. Teams that run Scrum or Kanban-with-WIP-limits get the full agile surface. The backlog pulls from the same issue pool as the Kanban board and the task list, so the three views are consistent.
The same Flows engine that automates the sales workflow applies to projects. Status change triggers notification, task-complete creates the next task, overdue triggers an escalation. The automation layer is one engine, not two.
Executive, team, and individual contributor views of the project surface. Projects by status, team member workload, upcoming deadlines, overdue tasks. The reporting layer is the Strkr reporting layer, which also powers the CRM dashboards, so cross-module queries are possible.
The migration pattern is additive, like most Strkr consolidations. The two tools stay running for a cycle while the first few projects run in Strkr. The sync bridge turns off. The project surfaces converge. The pattern below is the migration cadence most teams see.
List the active boards in Trello and the active projects in Asana. Group them by project type: implementation, editorial, operations, campaign. The grouping is the input to the Strkr project-type setup, so each type gets its own default workflow and fields.
Create a Strkr project type for each category: Implementation, Editorial, Operations, Campaign. Each type has its default status workflow, its default custom fields, and its default view. The type is the template, not the project itself.
Pick one active project per type and rebuild it in Strkr. Run the project in Strkr while keeping the original tool in read-only mode. The pilot catches the custom-field gaps and the workflow-step misses before the full migration.
Export the Trello boards and Asana projects to CSV, map the columns to Strkr project fields, and import. The historical data lands in Strkr and the two source tools go to archive mode. The sync bridge is turned off because there is nothing to sync.
After the full migration, the Trello and Asana subscriptions can be downgraded or canceled. For a 30-person team the subscription reduction is roughly $500 to $1,500 per month, before the sync tool. The seat-tax conversation ends.
Legacy projects that reference historical Trello card URLs or Asana task URLs get a one-time URL rewrite to the Strkr record. The team gets a six-month archive of the old tools kept in read-only mode as a safety net, then the archive goes dark.
Every consolidation hits the same objections. The Trello user who loves the simple surface. The Asana user who loves the Timeline view. The ops lead worried about field mapping. The answers below are the standard pattern.
The Kanban view in Strkr Projects renders a simple board with drag-to-move and inline add. The columns, the labels, the attachments all land on the familiar surface. The Trello user does not lose the muscle memory in the move.
Strkr Projects ships a Timeline / Roadmap view with Gantt bars, dependencies, and drag-to-reschedule. The Asana user who runs the project on Timeline finds the equivalent surface in Strkr with the same affordances.
Custom fields in Asana map to Strkr custom fields on the issue type. Text, number, select, multi-select, date, and user all have direct equivalents. The field migration is a column-by-column mapping on import, with a dry-run to catch mismatches.
The Asana portfolio pattern becomes a Strkr workspace view that filters projects by type, team, or status. The rollup columns are configurable, so the executive view that showed projects on-track or projects at-risk renders directly.
External guest access is on the roadmap. The current pattern for client-visible project views is a Strkr guest user with scoped record access on the project record. The permission model is cleaner than the stitched Trello and Asana guest surfaces.
The common Trello and Asana shortcuts have Strkr equivalents: J and K to move, X to assign, F to filter. The user who runs on shortcuts does not lose that pattern. The onboarding delta is a one-page shortcut cheat sheet.
A project tool consolidation touches the user list, the subscription line, and the integration surface. The consolidation case has to answer each of these before the executive team signs off. The answers below are the standard pattern.
Trello Business Class, Asana Business, and the sync tool together run $20 to $35 per seat per month, before volume discounts. For a 30-person team the full-year subscription cost is $7,200 to $12,600. Strkr Projects is included in the Strkr seat for teams on Pro or above.
The three-tool stack means three SSO integrations, three deprovisioning paths, three audit surfaces. Strkr consolidates to one. The IT team deprovisioning a departing employee hits one surface instead of three, and the audit review covers one tool rather than three.
Strkr is HIPAA compliant and signs a BAA. Teams running implementation projects that touch protected health information bring that work under BAA scope. The Asana Enterprise HIPAA plan can retire, and the project work lives under the same safeguards as the CRM record.
The SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress through 2026-Q4. GDPR and CCPA compliance are in place today. The project module inherits the organization-wide security posture, so the review does not require a separate project-tool control set.
The GitHub integration for engineering projects, the Slack integration for status updates, the Google Calendar integration for sprint ceremonies. Strkr Projects integrates through first-party connectors and the Strkr open API, which also means the custom integrations teams built on Asana's API have a Strkr equivalent.
External client views, status pages, and shared report links render on the Strkr surface with the tenant's branding. The Trello and Asana branding on client-visible surfaces goes away, which raises the perceived polish of the delivery team's client-facing work.
The sync tax, the field drift, the three-dashboard reporting all retire together. Strkr Projects runs the Kanban, the task list, and the CRM link in one layer.
No. The migration pattern is additive and runs per project type. Teams usually pilot one Implementation project and one Editorial project first, then migrate the backlog over three to six weeks. Trello and Asana can stay on read-only during the migration so the historical trail remains visible.
Strkr Projects supports CSV import for issues, with column mapping and a dry-run preview. The Trello and Asana export both land as CSV, so the migration is a map-and-import step. A direct Trello and Asana connector for one-click migration is on the roadmap, but the CSV path works today for all practical cases.
Strkr Projects ships a Timeline / Roadmap view with Gantt bars, dependencies, drag-to-reschedule, and today-marker. The Asana user running their project on Timeline finds the direct equivalent, with the added benefit that the CRM record linked to the project is one click away.
Strkr Projects is included in the Strkr seat for teams on Pro or above. Asana Business is around $25 per seat per month, Trello Business Class is around $10, and the sync tool adds its own line. For a 30-person team the retired stack-cost line is $7,200 to $12,600 per year, which the Strkr seat does not add back.
The current pattern for client-visible views is a Strkr guest user with scoped record access on the project record. Full external-share links are on the roadmap. The guest user approach is cleaner than the stitched Trello and Asana guest surfaces because the audit trail is one tool.
First-party integrations with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, GitHub, and GitLab are shipped. The Strkr open API covers the custom integrations teams built on Asana's API, including inbound webhook triggers for project events and outbound REST calls for status syndication.
