Finding the Right Template For Your Team

Selecting the right Asana ticket template is important in building your product and project management workflow. Some teams prefer simple, sparse tickets that get to the point, while others prefer complex, documentation-rich tickets. Each team is different, and your template should evolve as your team's needs change. With that in mind, we've assembled a library of Asana ticket templates to help your team find what works. Our "Database Migration" template, which you can find below, is a great starting point.

What Does "Right" Look Like?

The right Asana ticket template will match your team's stage, maturity, and purpose. Early in the product development process, your team is likely small and working on proof of concepts, where flexibility and quick pivots are key to success. Your team will likely want the lightest-weight ticket template possible at this stage, enabling quick iteration without the burden of unnecessary documentation. Your ticket template will evolve with your team, and as your team grows, so will your processes. Even with team growth, it's important to document as little as possible to maintain agility. The phrase "as little as possible" is intentionally chosen. If you under-document, you will lack a history of your team's work, the decisions you made, and their "why." You don't want to over-document, either. A good barometer for this is to ask yourself, "Is someone going to read what I'm writing?" If the answer is "yes," you're probably on the right track. If the answer is "no" or "not really," you're probably over-documenting. Striking the right balance is key to maintaining your velocity, and selecting the right Asana ticket template can help you stay on the right track.

"Database Migration" Template Example

Here's an example of our Asana ticket template in action.

Migration Overview

Migrate the Jurassic Park Dinosaur Asset Database from a legacy on-prem system to a cloud-based infrastructure to improve scalability, reduce downtime, and prevent catastrophic data loss due to power failures, tropical storms, or unexpected raptor attacks.

Steps

Backup Data: Create full backups of all dinosaur records, feeding schedules, and paddock security logs. Encrypt sensitive data (e.g., velociraptor containment override codes).
Apply Migration Scripts: Use automated scripts to transfer data to the new system, ensuring compatibility with modern infrastructure. Map legacy fields (e.g., "cage_electrified" to "security_status").
Validate Data Integrity: Verify that all species records, tracking data, and feeding schedules remain intact. Conduct load testing to ensure performance under high request volume (e.g., during visitor stampedes).

To-Do:

• Generate and validate full database backups before migration.
• Update schema mappings to ensure compatibility with the new system.
• Perform a controlled migration test with a limited dataset.
• Implement automated monitoring to detect anomalies post-migration.

Acceptance Criteria:

• All dinosaur records, security logs, and feeding schedules are successfully migrated.
• No data loss occurs, and backups remain intact.
• System performance remains stable under high traffic conditions.
• The new database prevents unauthorized access—especially from employees with questionable ethical standards.
