"Asana is brilliant for marketing teams—I've seen campaigns managed flawlessly there. But agencies billing clients hit a wall. No native time tracking means Harvest subscriptions. No invoicing means more tools. No client portal means sharing views with confused stakeholders. We built GitScrum for the workflow Asana wasn't designed for: track hours, bill clients, show progress."
