I've found that for certain clients, it's cost effective for inviting outsourced resources to contribute to specific projects.

Pros and Cons

"For a free solution, it does provide a lot of value."

"When evaluating project management software, the fundamental requirement I consider remains its ability to provide me a high level of view of all areas of the project so I can drill down to what is immediately relevant. Asana does an OK job of this, but not as good as some of the alternatives out there."
