Asana's "Areas of Responsibility" (AoRs) model distributes authority throughout the organization to promote trust, ownership, and quick decision-making. By giving individual team members autonomy over specific projects or tasks, Asana encourages initiative, collaboration, and transparency. The AoR system allows employees to take ownership of their work, making decisions about how to improve a product or aspect of the team without needing extensive approval from higher-ups. This approach has led to benefits such as improved documentation, expertise sharing, and accountability among team members. To implement AoRs with your team, start by breaking down work into projects and areas of responsibility, deciding who holds authority over each area, making them public knowledge, choosing measurements for success, reflecting on results, and refining processes over time.
