Add Asana to the handbook
Why is this change being made?
Asana is going through procurement to become marketing's new task management system, this MR is to add to handbook and update throughout the course of implementation, once a contract is signed.
Why are we adding Asana to our tech stack? We are at times unnecessarily trying to stretch GitLab to do Marketing processes it was not built for, and use cases it will never be used for by our customer base. We have heard Marketing team member feedback that the systems and processes do not support getting our work done effectively (2023 Pulse Survey results). As a result, the Marketing team will start using Asana to improve efficiency, collaboration, and transparency. Asana will integrate with our current technology and processes to streamline inefficient and duplicative workflows. The Marketing team will continue to dogfood GitLab where appropriate and teams whose processes are operating smoothly will not be required to migrate their processes to Asana.
