I design Asana systems that teams actually adopt, from discovery and process mapping through to architecture, implementation, automation, reporting, conventions, and Asana AI enablement. I’m Chad Bradley Swart, an Asana Business specialist and delivery-systems builder with 7+ years of hands-on experience building and administering scalable Asana environments across engineering/manufacturing and R&D settings. I bring a rare blend of “shop-floor reality” + senior technical project leadership: I’ve led complex engineering delivery, commissioning/operational readiness, and cross-functional programs, so the workflows I build reflect real constraints, real dependencies, and real decision-making. Additional tools used - PageProof, Make, Zapier, Typeform What I do (end-to-end) Discovery & process mapping Stakeholder interviews, pain-point analysis, “current vs future state” mapping Clear intake design (requests, triage, prioritization), governance cadence, and ownership model Workflow design & architecture Information architecture: teams, portfolios, cross-project visibility, multi-homing strategy Conventions: naming, statuses, custom field standards, templates, permissions guidance Scalable patterns for delivery: phase gates, approvals, critical path sequencing, dependency-driven templates Implementation & automation Custom fields, rules/automation, routing, escalations, structured status updates, exception handling Forms/intake and standard templates to reduce variance and improve data quality Integrations where it makes sense (Make/Zapier/Airtable and operational tools) to reduce admin and strengthen reporting Dashboards, reporting & operational visibility Executive/portfolio rollups, WIP/capacity tracking, throughput, blockers, standard status reporting Dashboards that answer: “What’s stuck? What’s next? What needs attention? What’s at risk?” Asana AI enablement AI-ready structure: clean fields, consistent conventions, disciplined status updates, and standardized templates Practical AI use-cases: drafting updates, summarising progress, highlighting blockers/risks, and accelerating intake triage (built on well-structured data) Strengths you’ll notice quickly Systems thinking + practical execution:** I translate messy reality into clean, governed workflows. Adoption-first design: conventions, training, playbooks/SOPs, and rollout support to make change stick. Clarity and accountability: you’ll know what “done” means, who owns what, and what’s blocking delivery. Technical stakeholder fluency: I work easily across leadership, ops, and technical teams. Selected experience & outcomes Consultant / Workflow Specialist (Asana Business) — SMART Advanced Consulting (Jan 2023–Present) Designed and administered Asana environments: architecture, governance, standards, and permissions guidance Built delivery frameworks (custom fields, intake forms, portfolios, reporting, dashboards) and complex templates with dependencies and phase gates to reduce delivery variance Implemented automation logic for routing, escalations, and structured updates; integrated Asana with operational tools to reduce admin and improve reporting Engineering Section Team Leader / Asana Operating System Owner — OIST University, Japan (Nov 2023–Nov 2025) Implemented and customized Asana for intake, tracking, scheduling, automation, and cross-stakeholder visibility Built reporting around workload/WIP, throughput, blockers, and standardized status updates Head of Advanced Manufacturing & Business Development — Xquisite Africa (Jun 2021–Jan 2023) Built a customized Asana system for manufacturing planning and delivery visibility; improved prioritisation and throughput Education & foundations (why my systems are practical) I come from a technical, delivery-heavy background: trade foundation, senior technical project leadership, commissioning/operational readiness, and workshop/manufacturing delivery, which means I design workflows that respect real lead times, dependencies, and constraints. Education includes Master Artisan (WBA Aachen University) plus formal trade/technical certifications. Asana certifications Asana-certified Workflow Specialist (plus ongoing platform depth from years of building/administering complex environments). If you hire me, you get A clean, scalable Asana operating system with strong conventions, automation that reduces admin, dashboards that drive decisions, and an adoption plan so your team actually uses what we build, not a “pretty setup” that fades after launch. If you want an Asana environment that supports real delivery (not just task lists), I can help you design it, build it, and make it stick.
