Asana is a powerful task tracker. It’s not designed for sprints — there’s no native concept of a sprint cycle, no story points, no velocity, no burndown, no retro. Engineering teams who’ve outgrown Asana’s task-and-section model for actual agile work usually want all four.
SprintFlint imports an Asana CSV and re-shapes the data into sprints in a single step.
Steps
-
1 Export your Asana project
In Asana, open your project, go to … → Export → CSV. The export includes tasks, sections, assignees, due dates, descriptions, and custom fields.
-
2 Sign up for SprintFlint

-
3 Import via AI
On the empty sprint screen, Import → From text. Paste the CSV. SprintFlint maps Asana’s task fields into ticket fields and inferred story points if you’ve used a numeric custom field for sizing.
-
4 Decide your sprint cadence
Asana doesn’t enforce sprints, so this is a fresh decision. Most engineering teams start with two-week sprints and adjust after one or two cycles based on velocity stability.
-
5 Run your first capacity plan
Use the sprint capacity calculator to set a realistic story-point ceiling for the first sprint. The first SprintFlint sprint after an Asana migration is usually undercommitted on purpose — it’s a calibration sprint.
-
6 Run your first retro
Asana has no retro module. SprintFlint does — at the end of the sprint, click Retrospective. Pick a format (Start/Stop/Continue, Mad/Sad/Glad, 4Ls, Sailboat, Liked/Learned/Lacked) and the retro writes itself from the sprint data.
