Test Asana for Project Management

[jkarpen]

Testing Asana for use as a project management tool. Specific areas to test:

• [x] GitHub integration - can we sync issues and PRs?
• [x] Azure DevOps integration - can we sync issues and PRs?
• [x] Ability to generate metrics like burndown charts for capacity planning
• [x] Add HFA timeline tasks/milestones (high level) to Asana project
• [x] Share feedback with Anusha

Depends on getting access which Anusha said should be possible in late October.

From early research it appears the native Asana/GitHub integration may not work for Issues, docs mention PRs only:

• https://asana.com/apps/github
• https://help.asana.com/s/article/github-and-asana-integration?language=en_US#gl-key

The Azure DevOps integration does mention 2-way sync for tasks but appears to require a third party tool Unito with it's own pricing model. However Unito also advertises a GitHub 2-way sync feature that works for Issues.

This repo has an action that allows linking GitHub Issues to Asana Tasks: https://github.com/ideasonpurpose/github-issues-asana-tasks-action
