Projects, tasks, subtasks, dependencies, portfolios, rules, Goals, reports.
Before starting, we run a 1-minute tech check — microphone, ambient noise, connection. If your setup isn't good enough, the test is fully refunded.
Show — don't just claim — you can run complex projects in Asana: portfolios, automations, Goals, dependencies, and AI features, all stress-tested in a 15-minute AI-powered oral.
The Plume Asana badge certifies your ability to operate Asana at a professional level, far beyond creating tasks and checking them off. During a 15-minute live oral with a real-time AI examiner, you'll be asked to walk through real projects you've run, explain how you've structured workspaces and portfolios, configure rules combining custom field triggers with multi-step actions, connect Goals to OKRs, and integrate Asana with your broader stack — Slack, Jira, Salesforce, Zapier, or the REST API. A second AI model then reads the full transcript and produces a 0-to-100 score, a proficiency level (Novice / Proficient / Advanced / Expert), and a detailed feedback report.
Why is this badge more credible than a self-declared Asana skill on LinkedIn? Because the AI won't accept vague answers. It will ask you to describe the specific structure of a project, justify why you used task dependencies instead of milestones, explain how you built an automation with conditional branches, and tell it why Asana was the right call for your team versus Notion, Linear, or Monday. You either know the tool deeply or you don't — and the transcript doesn't lie.
This badge is built for project managers, ops leads, chiefs of staff, transformation consultants, and Asana workspace admins who use the tool every day and want to validate their level with recruiters, clients, or their own leadership teams. It's equally relevant for freelancers pitching Asana expertise on Upwork or Malt, and for product managers who need to prove they can tie roadmap execution to strategic Goals — not just manage a backlog.
Here are the concrete dimensions the AI examines during the 15-minute oral.
Structuring workspaces, teams, projects, and portfolios to reflect real organizational logic — including naming conventions, project hierarchies, access control, and guest permissions at scale.
Modeling finish-to-start (and start-to-start) dependencies, catching scheduling conflicts in the Timeline view, and rebalancing workload using the Workload view when team capacity is at risk.
Building rules that combine multiple triggers (custom field changes, approaching deadlines, assignee changes) with multi-step actions or conditional branches to automate recurring workflows without code.
Connecting projects and portfolios to Goals, configuring sub-goals, tracking strategic progress in real time, and presenting executive-ready dashboards that show how operational output maps to company OKRs.
Creating custom fields (text, number, dropdown, date) to qualify tasks, building public or internal intake forms, and standardizing project creation with reusable templates across teams.
Connecting Asana to Slack, Google Drive, Jira, or Salesforce via native integrations, building cross-tool workflows with Zapier or Make, and understanding Asana's REST API for custom integrations or data exports.
Using Asana's AI features — smart summaries, smart fields, AI Studio for intelligent workflow building — and evaluating their maturity compared to AI features in competing tools.
Knowing when Asana is the right choice and when to steer a team toward Notion, Monday, Linear, or ClickUp — based on concrete criteria like team size, dependency complexity, database needs, and no-code culture.
Final scoring is performed by Claude (Anthropic), which reads back the full transcript and applies this weighted criteria grid.
The candidate describes real projects with concrete details — task volume, project structure, specific dependencies, automations deployed — not generic statements about 'using a project management tool'.
Knowledge of the rules builder, custom fields, Portfolios, Goals, Timeline, Workload, Reporting, and recent Asana Intelligence capabilities. The candidate can configure these features and explain their design choices.
Ability to identify anti-patterns in a poorly structured workspace, propose a justified rebuild, and anticipate governance and adoption challenges at team or organizational scale.
Hands-on experience with native integrations (Slack, Jira, Google Drive) and no-code connectors (Zapier, Make), with at least one concrete cross-tool workflow deployed in production, plus working knowledge of the Asana API.
Ability to assess Asana's limits objectively, compare it to alternatives (Notion, Monday, Linear, ClickUp), and advise a team or executive on the right tool for their context, culture, and actual needs.
A Plume session takes about 20 minutes, from tech check to badge delivery.
The AI confirms your mic is working and that your environment is quiet. No screen sharing needed — the entire exam is audio-only.
You briefly introduce yourself and describe how you use Asana: how long you've been using it, in what type of organization, and the project that best represents your level of expertise.
The AI works through 4 to 6 questions drawn from the calibrated theme bank: workspace architecture, dependencies and Timeline, advanced automations, Goals and OKRs, integrations, Asana vs. competitors, and Asana Intelligence. It follows up on your answers to probe any areas that are vague or surface-level.
You get a chance to add anything you haven't covered yet — a feature you use in an unconventional way, a migration story, or an edge case that shows the full range of your Asana experience.
Claude Opus analyzes the transcript, generates your score (0-100), level (Novice to Expert), and a detailed feedback report. Your Asana badge is immediately shareable via a public URL or directly on LinkedIn.
Your score out of 100 translates into a level a recruiter can grasp at a glance.
You create and assign tasks, use basic list and board views, and follow projects that others have set up. You haven't yet explored custom fields, automations, task dependencies, or Portfolios. Asana is still primarily a shared to-do list for you.
You structure projects with sections, custom fields, and templates. You use the Timeline view to visualize dependencies and have set up a few simple automation rules. You know Portfolios exist but haven't yet used them for strategic reporting or executive-level dashboards.
You design workspace architectures for teams of 20 to 100+ people, with portfolios, Goals connected to OKRs, and multi-trigger automation rules. You integrate Asana with Slack, Jira, or Zapier and are the go-to Asana person in your organization.
You lead Asana rollouts across hundreds of users, build intelligent workflows with AI Studio, use the REST API for custom integrations, and can advise a C-suite or transformation director on whether Asana is the right platform compared to alternatives — with arguments grounded in real deployments.
No degree or years of experience required to take the badge. Here are the profiles it makes the most sense for.
You run cross-functional projects in Asana and want to prove your mastery of advanced features — dependencies, Timeline, Portfolios, reporting — to a recruiter or your leadership team with something more credible than a LinkedIn skill badge.
You're the Asana admin for your org: you structure the workspace, onboard teams, build templates, and create automations. This badge formally validates your role as the resident Asana expert.
You help teams adopt Asana or rebuild broken workspaces. A certified badge strengthens your pitch to clients and differentiates your profile on Upwork, Malt, or Toptal — especially when competing against generalist PMs.
You coordinate your team in Asana and want to objectively benchmark your level before moving into a PMO or Head of Operations role where Asana governance is part of the job.
You manage roadmaps in Asana and use Goals and Portfolios to align product delivery with company strategy. This badge sets you apart in environments where Jira and Linear are also on the table.
Where and how your Asana badge will help you day to day.
You're applying for an Operations Manager role at a Series B startup that runs on Asana. Instead of listing the skill, you share your badge showing a score of 78/100 (Advanced) with a report that highlights your mastery of Portfolios and multi-step automations.
A client asks you to restructure their Asana workspace for a 50-person team. You attach your certified Asana badge to your proposal to justify your day rate and close the deal faster — no lengthy portfolio needed.
You're gunning for a PMO role at your company. Your Asana Expert badge objectively validates your skills on the team's core tool and adds a concrete, timestamped credential to your promotion case.
You've used Asana for two years but aren't sure how well you know Goals and AI Studio. The badge's detailed report pinpoints exactly what you're strong on and what to work on next — like a code review for your Asana practices.
You're an HR lead or hiring manager recruiting an Asana workspace admin. You ask candidates to complete the badge before the first interview, so you only spend time with profiles scoring Advanced or Expert on the objective scale.
Your team is moving from Trello or Jira to Asana. You take the badge to confirm you have the skills to lead the migration, design the target workspace structure, and train colleagues on advanced features before go-live.
A few minutes to check you have everything you need.
At the end of your session you don't just get a score — here's everything that awaits you.
You get a score from 0 to 100 and an official proficiency level (Novice, Proficient, Advanced, Expert) based on your actual Asana mastery — workflows, automations, Goals, and integrations all factored in.
Claude Opus produces structured feedback on each of the 5 evaluation criteria: what you've nailed, what's worth deepening, and concrete recommendations for leveling up your Asana practice.
Your oral session is stored securely and privately. You can replay it to spot improvement areas or voluntarily share it with a recruiter as additional proof of your communication skills and Asana fluency.
Your Asana badge lives at a unique public URL. Add it to your LinkedIn, portfolio, email signature, or client proposal so anyone can verify your level in seconds — no login required on their end.
