Wrike is a project management software that helps marketers, project managers, creative agencies, team leads, and product developers track and manage their daily work. First launched in 2007 by CEO Andrew Filev, Wrike’s cloud-based software has won several awards since and is used by major companies like PayPal, Hootsuite, and HTC. Here is a brief review of Wrike’s benefits and capabilities:
Wrike Makes Work Management and Collaboration Easy
Wrike’s project management software has a modern, user-friendly interface that’s easily customizable and quick to navigate. Organize your work into a series of folders and subfolders however you wish, whether by company department, client, project, urgency, etc., so everything is easy to find.
With a unique three-panel layout, users can see their folder tree, task list, and individual task details all in one view, without having to switch back and forth between different windows.
Share tasks and folders with colleagues and user groups, then discuss work updates, provide instruction or feedback, or ask for assistance in task comments instead of sending emails. Wrike lets you upload and attach files directly to the relevant task, so important documents are always up-to-date and easy to find.
Wrike’s online project management tools include a Gantt chart maker for project planning. Drag and drop on the interactive timeline to adjust your plan, set milestones, and make sure your project is progressing on schedule. Use Wrike’s visual analytics and customizable reports to check team productivity, balance everyone’s workload, and compare your initial plan with your actual progress.
Work management is easier as project leads can simply browse the real-time Activity Stream newsfeed to quickly catch up on task updates and discussions, without asking each and every team member for a status update or slogging through email.
