Wrike

In our organization, we use Wrike mostly for project management and teamwork. We like using it daily to manage, organize, and collaborate on events and productions. Two years ago, managing projects was very hectic, but after starting to use Wrike, we experienced a seamless flow in creating tasks, assigning them, and collaborating with teams and external people. Multiple teams can share their comments and updates, and coordinate on a single task, leading to more engaging and productive work. Different project views, particularly the Gantt chart, offer robust visuals that help us map out our entire event timelines.

• Allow us to plan, execute, track, and effortlessly achieve the completion of all projects before the deadline.
• Great team collaboration that enhances team productivity and efficiency.
• Provide real time project status and progress easily.
• Projects stay well organized and assigning tasks to right people is simple.

The Marketing team uses Wrike to manage campaigns and workflows, including creative processes, reviews, and other project management needs. The subsidiary teams within our Marketing department also use Wrike to manage their additional work, including intranet communications, Customer Experience tasks, and social media calendar management.

The customizable workflows allow for various team members to ensure that Wrike's functionality can be adapted to complement their team's needs.

• Wrike continues to give visibility to project work and help individuals be more responsible for their own tasks
• The added visibility also simplifies accountability
• It's much easier to work in one location vs tracking down several documents

We use Wrike in many different areas of our company. My area in particular has over 50 projects in process at one time; not to mention the additional task that are issues outside of those projects. I am responsible for implementing real-time hospital interfaces with all our hospital partners. We used to have a spreadsheet with over 120 columns! Now we have a blueprint, request form and boom! Project is created!

• Past Due Calendar
• Custom Reports
• Automation Bots
• Built in Analytics
• Blueprints
• Request Forms
• Dashboards
• Item Types

• I took a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of 120 columns and 60 rows and converted it to Wrike. That was just the start. We moved at least 3 manual reports over to Wrike and use automation to create the reports.
• After moving our projects into Wrike, we've added 5 other departments. All the new departments are using Wrike for their own projects.
• The VP now has greater insight into all areas instead of receiving multiple manual status reports.
• With the request forms and blueprints, it is very little effort to enter a new project into Wrike!
