The Big Move In Product Workflows
Asana’s new Chief Product Officer, Arnab Bose (ex-Okta, Microsoft, Salesforce), is clear about the next wave: AI agents will sit inside our tools and do real work with us.
Asana’s bet is AI Teammates, powered by its Work Graph and Strategy Maps so agents know the goal, the owner, and the next step. (Source: Newsweek)
Why This Matters For Product Teams
Real output, not just chat. Agents can open tickets, route work, request reviews, and post updates that link to goals.
Fewer handoffs. Cross-team workflows move while you sleep, with an audit trail.
Faster roadmaps. Less glue work means more time on discovery, strategy, and outcomes.
Clearer impact. When every task rolls up to a goal, your story to leadership gets sharper.
PM POV: What Changes In Your Day-To-Day
Backlog hygiene. Agents tag, dedupe, and route. You focus on priority and scope.
Status on demand. Agents publish simple, useful updates tied to metrics.
Proof of value. You can show time saved and cycle time cut, week by week.
