BaiduBaidu Adopts Asana for Documentation
Baidu, a communication services organization in China, uses Portfolios from Asana to support documentation for specialists and new hires.
When institutional knowledge outgrew homegrown tracking, Baidu brought in Asana.
“In China, specialists and new hires already knew where institutional knowledge went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Asana is a work management platform that helps teams track projects, goals, and cross-functional work in one place.”

Story
Baidu did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed documentation to move. In China, specialists and new hires already knew where institutional knowledge went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Portfolios from Asana is now in that path. Asana is a work management platform that helps teams track projects, goals, and cross-functional work in one place. The company treats it as production tooling for documentation, which is why specialists and new hires live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Baidu can show how institutional knowledge is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run documentation on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
