I appreciate the BamBam referral. However, our executive director made the decision to go with Asana after looking at some of the other options I presented to her. So far so good. We continue to uncover useful features with Asana, none of which are likely to be proprietary, but its quite a nice collection.
Of course, the real test will be to see how well it scales when we have hundreds of tasks and dozens of projects. I will try to remember to post updates as we go along.

I have felt the same way about Podio, Bill. I know that it is flexible, but every time I try to sit down with a blank canvas and create a work space, it seems that the tools that I desire are not available. I know that they offer some canned templates, but those never seem to meet my needs. I would write it off completely, but folks keep saying what a wonderful program it is. Am I missing something, or are my needs just beyond what they offer?

Thanks for the update, Steve. I could not resist and opened up an account with BamBam! last night. There are parts that I like, but their documentation is a bit sparse. I would like to be able to have a list of tasks from various projects that I want to focus on, but I cannot seem to find a way to either search or filter across projects to do so. If this is not possible, then any possible consideration as an Asana replacement would not be an option. I work on a number of projects, and having flagged tasks from all of them be visible is essential to my work flow. But do keep us posted on your progress. I was tempted to join that Google+ forum, but I am not currently pushing Asana to its limits, so joining does not seem urgent. but it is good to know that there is a place to discuss the program as Asana has no forums.

It’s my 1st post.
Sorry if I didn’t understand question correctly.
Check
Producteev.com (free collaborating and task management system. Crossplatform, better that Asana for me),
Planfix.com(very flexible with intersting approach to orginize data)
Pyrus.com
Regards,
Andy

I did extensive research on many task management systems including Asana and Teamwork.com was the winner for my needs.
After using it for nearly a year, I am very pleased with it.
