Asana alternative

An Asana alternativefor software teams that ship in sprints

Asana is broad work management. Venril is narrower by design: product and engineering delivery, from backlog to sprint to report, with AI helping where planning work gets repetitive.

For teams that want less general-purpose task management and more software delivery context.

Free plan available. Upgrade when your team needs more AI, integrations, or agents.

What breaks down

General work-management tools need extra setup for agile teams

Engineering context gets separated from planning

Reports do not always reflect sprint reality

What Venril improves

Use a software-focused task model

Connect PRs, blockers, comments, sprints, and reports

Let AI help draft and refine planning work

How it works

A connected workflow instead of another planning silo

Workspace context stays connected

Tasks, subtasks, sprints, comments, PR links, reports, and roadmap signals live in one workspace instead of scattered across tools.

AI helps inside the planning flow

Vai and Venril AI can help draft tasks, prioritize backlog work, summarize noisy threads, and surface sprint risk without leaving the product.

Built for small teams first

The workflow is opinionated on purpose: Workspace, Project, Task, Subtask. Less admin ceremony, more delivery signal.
