Wrike is a project management and collaboration software. This solution connects tasks, discussions, and emails to the user’s project plan. Wrike is optimized for agile workflows and aims to help resolve data silos, poor visibility into work status, and missed deadlines and project failures.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/ZX/jQ/M0M0AG818UQX.PNGWrikeSolid Project Management for Mid-size to Large Teams2019-08-06T21:16:34.861ZOur in-house Marketing Team switched to Wrike a couple years ago for project management. We had found ourselves in a sort of Goldilocks situation with previous project management systems: Google spreadsheets (too limiting), Asana (too simple - at the time), and AtTask/Workfront (too complex). Wrike proved to be "just right" for our team's needs for visibility, collaboration, user-friendliness, and scalability. Originally, only Marketing used Wrike, but multiple teams across the company have adopted it for their project management needs since then.,Usability: Wrike rivals Asana for usability and blows Workfront out of the water. Its UI is attractive, consistent, and relatively intuitive.
Collaboration: Wrike has become our sole location for collaborating on projects and their component tasks due to its easy comment threads and ability to comment directly on PDFs, Word docs, videos, etc.
Visibility: Wrike has flexible reporting capabilities that have been a huge help to our Marketing leadership team, especially because we don't have a dedicated project manager - that responsibility is carried by team managers who need to be able to see team member workloads and project status at a glance.
Flexibility: Wrike's robust project templating capabilities are mission-critical for our team due to the volume of similar projects we work on.,Notification timing: Unless we keep Wrike open and constantly check the inbox, it's easy to miss conversation on projects since the integration with Outlook results in a 1-2 hour delay in email notifications being sent.
Default Task Status Filters: This is a HUGE pain. The default filter for the tasks that show in a project hides any tasks marked complete. This default filter cannot be changed, and has to be manually overridden by the user every time. This means, for instance, when a designer is ready to start a design task and needs the approved copy, she has to un-filter the task list just to be able to access the completed copy task.
Assignee Switching: Minor gripe, but frequent. In list view, clicking on the assignee and choosing a different assignee from the resulting dropdown ADDS an assignee rather than switching the assignment to the new person. As a manager who frequently reassigns tasks to my team, having to go into the individual task view is a waste of time.,9,I was able to use time-tracking and project reporting in Wrike, combined with data from our Marketing automation system, to measurably demonstrate the business impact our Creative Team was having on our Marketing goals.
That business impact project successfully made the case that hiring a new designer was a higher priority than other potential open positions at the time.
While it is sometimes difficult not having a dedicated project manager, Wrike has made it possible for our team to not fill that position for several years when we absolutely would have needed one with previous systems.,Workfront, Asana, Trello and Google Drive,Slack, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft 365 Business, Wistia, UltiPro, Dropbox Business,Marketing project management

Product UsabilityDyke HabeggerWrike Works.2015-01-13T16:29:32.382ZWrike is currently being used to manage our on-boarding process, as well as individual project management across multiple departments. Currently Wrike is being used by 4 departments here at our corporate office. Wrike addresses the issues with communication, multiple meetings where the objectives were not being met, as well as organization across the company on a singular project.,Wrike can be used in Outlook, as well as on your mobile device making it accessible any where and anytime you need it.
Wrike allows for multiple people to be assigned to a single task or to a folder allowing for more visibility and easier delegation of tasks.
Wrike has multiple views that allow for each person to be able to track how they would like, whether it is in a list or a chart.
Wrike allows for more than one user to update the same description of a task
Wrike allows you to add revised documents to a single document for easier storage,The task view can be a little difficult to navigate, they have filters, but they don't always filter the way you may like sometimes.
If you have twenty items on your tasks list they show all unless you mess with the filter, they should hide dependent tasks until the parent task is complete or at least add a feature to allow to do this, not everyone wants to see whats coming if they cannot work on it yet.
The reporting that you can pull. I know that the enterprise has different reporting functions, but the professional should have a report that you can pull per folder group as well.,8,Increased efficiency with on-boarding of our branches
Improved productivity with our Marketing department to get requests completed on a better deadline
Improved communication and clarity into what each department does.,AtTask,9Jennifer MontagueCan take a bit of work, but worth it.2014-11-13T15:35:39.907ZWrike is being used in our department, specifically. It helps us to better manage our projects and work load. We are more efficient, more productive, and less stressed by using the tools that Wrike has to offer.,It shows you a timeline of all your projects and where they fall on the calendar, giving you a big-picture view.
Everyone can use it at the same time and contribute to make it work really well.,It can be difficult to use at first. It takes practice.

Also, it was key for communicating with our team on project status, questions, and task assignments. It enabled us to coordinate with multiple people and departments. It excels at projects that require lots of details and communication. I would highly recommend it for larger teams.,Wrike was great at being able to retain large amounts of project details such as tasks, dates, attachments, comments, etc.
It was the perfect solution for complex projects that had multiple tasks, users, deadlines, etc.
Ironically, Wrike was easy to use even though it managed complex and large amounts of data.,I wish that Wrike was a bit quicker to add multiple tasks or subtasks, like ASANA is, and also to be able to move things around more quickly.,8,Wrike has streamlined communication, project forecasting, and collaboration for our organization.,9,8,,HubSpot, Squarespace, Microsoft Office 365, Typeform, Microsoft TeamsVerified UserWrike Review2019-03-11T15:25:42.109ZWrike is being used by our organization for one primary purpose, which is project management. Although there are multiple uses of the software, different teams in our organization use its other modules for secondary purposes. Since our organization is so large, there are a variety of tools used by different teams based on their requirement and usage. It is not possible for our entire organization to use just one tool. Wrike addresses various solutions in project management within software development. Projects can be well managed, reported, and reviewed on a daily basis using Wrike.,Project Management: This is a very strong tool for real-time project management and resource management.
Charts: It provides GANTT charts, which give a very easy visual representation of where we stand in our current process of development.
It provides process improvement and transparency to the current status of projects.
Since it can be integrated with other software, data can be imported and used efficiently.,Set up is daunting. Although we paid for someone to help us set up the process, we quickly realized that their orientation instructions weren't suited for our situation at all.
With sub-tasks, changing a task's deadline would also change the subtask's deadlines. When I push things forward or backward with the GANTT chart, I then have to go into each subtask and adjust them as well. Sometimes, it seems easier to make everything tasks, so that I can use the cause/effect of dependencies.
The design could be improved. It's functional, attractive, but can still go a long way to make it more intuitive.,8,It definitely has a positive impact on the ROI, as it saves time and cost in project management.
It helps achieve our goals as an organization in Agile project management and software development. It is very useful to schedule future tasks based on current tasks.
Mobile support is also one key, as it has notifications upon task completion or for communication. This again saves time and cost.,JIRA Software, Trello, Basecamp, monday, Flow, GanttPRO and Rallybound,Google Analytics, Amazon Tensor Flow, AccellionVerified UserWrike review2019-06-03T22:05:17.773ZWrike is being used across our organization by varying departments such as sales, implementation, account management, product team, and marketing. It addresses several business problems, the most important being transparent communication. Other problems that are addressed are having a single point of "truth" and not having information duplicated in several locations, as well as keeping teams up to date.,Track deadlines.

Less duplicative work.
Projects being delivered on time.Verified UserWrike: Increase productivity2019-03-02T19:49:43.286ZWrike is used by our organization as a whole and not by any particular team. For that we have different product, Jira. Using Wrike we can create, manage, and keep track of every project which are either in progress or in the pipeline and my projects. [By this] I mean non-technical work related to SEO, cataloging, marketing etc.,Easy to manage and UI is great.
The timeline shows a clear view of tasks.
Can comment on images also.,As for now no issues faced by any organization employee.,10,It definitely made our life easier. Before using this there was no coordination among members of the same team. There was no record which person is doing which task, for how much time and when it s supposed to be completed, but now there are no issues faced.,JIRA Software, Trello and Insightly,Jira Service Desk, Insightly, TrelloVerified UserWrike is the perfect balance of usability and power2019-02-07T15:37:58.903ZWe needed a project management platform that suited a small to medium-sized business, but still had full feature capabilities and custom workflows. Since we are still on the small of the medium size for companies, something large scale just wouldn't work, and Jira, which is used by our developers, takes too much customization to make it capable for a sales, marketing, success, and operations teams. There are other options out there, but Wrike was just the right fit and will help us scale a great deal.,Their interface is intuitive and easy to use. It's clean, and I really like both their mobile app (iPhone) and their desktop app (Mac).
Customizing workflows and approval processes is relatively easy, and adding to multiple projects with multiple assignees and watchers is excellent.
The organization is excellent and intuitive. Search functionality is pretty great. Both make it super easy to find what you're looking for... new, old, completed, etc.
Really like the different views - Konbon, list view, etc. If you're used to Trello, Basecamp, Asana, etc... there's a view that's pretty comfortable to you.,The Gmail plugin could use some work. Love having it, and it makes adding tasks from email easier, but it's pretty slow. Intuitive things are missing - for instance, by default I want these tasks assigned to me. I have to go choose "assign", then search for my name, then click Assign. Pretty slow and cumbersome.
Merging duplicate tasks or linking tasks is not the most intuitive, and isn't super apparent once it's done. Would love to see them take a page from Atlassian's book on this one.
In some of the views, it would be nice to have "quick edit" features so you don't have to actually dive into the task. This is possible in the table view, which is super helpful, but would be nice elsewhere also. In their defense, I don't think any project management tool does this well.,9,We've been able to move faster... not just because the tool is fast, but there's much less need to "check-in" on projects and get status updates. We subscribe the right people to the right projects, and they get updates as they happen.
Coordination has been much better than before. We can get approvals in rapid time, even with a team that's a bit spread out across the country.
Cross assigning and collaboration has helped so that no task goes unseen or unassigned, meaning nothing slips through the cracks.
Self-service through their insertion forms has been huge. No more pulling in tasks from emails - everyone knows when they have a request, there's a form to go to, and it instantly ends up in the system and gets assigned.,Asana, Basecamp, Trello and JIRA Software,Trello, AsanaIan NateWrike: Just Right2019-02-06T20:40:42.393ZWe started using Wrike in just the Marketing department, but it worked well enough that the Client Support department has started to use it as well. We use it for task management primarily — we don't do time tracking or anything like that in it. It works well for making sure that everyone is aware of deadlines, and that everything is passed on to the right person once it's done. It's a good way to organize communication around a particular project or task as well, rather than trying to sort through slack messages or email.,Customized dashboards - I like being able to organize tasks the way I want. So for example, I have a widget for things to do today/tomorrow, plus one for overdue tasks to bring them to my attention quickly, and backlogged projects. What's great about it is that I can make my dashboard just the way I want it, which is bound to be different from what works best for a coworker.
Notifications are useful - I mostly just use it to tag other people when they need to be updated, but other team members also use automated notifications to tell them when steps that need to be done by other people, before they can start their task, finally get done. For example, designers don't have to constantly check in to see if a copy has been written and approved yet - the system will notify them when it's ready for them.
Very user-friendly interface. I know it's not the most important thing, but it really does help when the software you use just works and looks nice and modern.
The calendar view is a really nice addition and helps me plan ahead for busy times.,The search functionality looks pretty crowded when it pulls up results.
The "My Work" feature doesn't seem particularly helpful, compared to the customizable dashboards and calendar view.,10,We spend less time managing tasks/projects and more time actually doing them.,Workfront and Asana,Bynder Brand Portal, Seismic, Duo SecurityAnnie Grunwell2 cents on Wrike2019-02-19T22:18:47.185ZWrike was implemented in a department among a public university. Our department handled developing websites for educational purposes. Wrike allowed for a clear, efficient way to track progress for all the steps in website development. It also allowed us to track who on the project was tasked with what and how much of their time was devoted to each project.,Tracking changes-- any time a change is made by any user each individual task indicates the change and WHO made those changes.
Time Management-- time can be managed at the individual task level with the option of manual entry or a start and stop-timer at the top.
Multiple projects are handles well, and people can have access to all projects or only those that are important to them.,Training would be key. As this is the first project management tool that our department utilized and it has a LOT of features. I think additional training opportunities are key to success.
Better placement of buttons/more intuitive interface would have been helpful,8,The cost was more than the worth our department put into it.
Spent $5,000 a year on the product, but it was poorly utilized.,Basecamp,TrelloMelissa GreenthalFastest way to get your team organized!2019-02-06T20:51:42.946ZWrike is used across the Marketing department. It is a way that we submit all requests for new assets, edits and future projects. It easily organizes all conversation in an easy to use interface. I was able to pick up the platform within the first week of it being introduced to me. We have never had an outage/downtime while using the product, so it has proven reliable.,The search feature is a powerful & instantaneous tool that pulls information out of any post that you might be a part of.
Multiple views - List, Gantt Chart, Board, Stream, and Workload. Everyone processes data differently - something for everyone.
Everything in one place. Keeps everyone engaged and on the same page.,Occasionally I will have to reload a tab to make sure Wrike it updated (This is day to day - never within the same day ).
It has A LOT of features - our company is not using it to its full potential. Maybe a weekly email with quick demos of what can be done with the product should be added.,9,We have never had a conversation of trying another product.
This is an all in one product that helps my company organize thoughts and ideas.,Basecamp,Drupal, Sublime Text, JabberJosh HoweManaging the content creation process with Wrike2019-02-06T18:23:59.613ZWe are using Wrike to manage our custom marketing piece requests in conjunction with our account-based marketing efforts. It is used extensively by our marketing and sales departments to address a process that used to be managed both informally as well as in JIRA.,Insight into the status of a project
Understanding who has been working on a project and were the next deliverable will come from
Being able to quickly review previously created content so new pieces can be generated more quickly,We may not have user permissions set up correctly but it provides a lot of updates when a project is worked on, almost too many
The initial navigation doesn't feel as user friendly as it could be. There is a bit of a learning curve to get project requests entered.,8,We've been able to get custom marketing content in the hands of the sales team faster.
Sales has been able to better collaborate with marketing regarding the needs of the pieces they are requesting better.
We've been able to utilize it for other marketing projects not necessarily related to sales as well.,JIRA Software,Zoom, ClearSlide, SurveyMonkeyBrian NeibaurWrike Review2019-01-30T19:48:02.085ZWrike is used predominately within our marketing organization to manage their team project load and timelines. However, they also use it cross-departmentally to help communicate projects and grab resources on an as-needed basis. I typically have at least a few projects that I am assigned to within Wrike. Previously, our services management team used it to manage larger scale yearly goal type projects as well.,Manages project tasks in a fairly robust manner for internal office use.
Effectively notifies people when tasks have been assigned to them, and project updates have occurred.
Allows you to track time against projects if you so desire.,It would be great to see Wrike come out with a more robust reporting solution.
It would be great to see Wrike come out with a solution that allows cost tracking. I am not sure this is within their core though, and it makes sense to not add it if that is the case.
Wrike could improve on their ability to integrate into other software systems.,8,Better communication/accountability for cross-departmental projects.

Since we are a small team of 8, most of our employees are involved in most of our projects. We use it for project management and many of our employees use it for task management. It helps us maintain the big picture projects that span multiple months and see how those projects coincide or clash with other projects. PMs can easily assign tasks to appropriate people and add enough context to tasks that it makes sense.,Customizable Dashboards: Each user can set up their dashboard as needed. Very helpful.
Customizable workflows: Creating approval workflows and others lets our organization customize Wrike to fit our needs.
Rich comments and description fields for tasks gives very helpful context to tasks.,Comments can get messy fast if that's your primary form of communication.
Search leaves something to be desired, especially when searching down at the subtask and comment level. We don't use it often for this reason.
It's really big with a ton of features, so it can get overwhelming at first without good training.,8,Able to track, maintain and adjust deadlines for projects much more efficiently and accurately.

Ease of use.
Adding collaborators.,Initial setup can be difficult to refine business processes.
It can get expensive if you want to add everyone with a full license.,8,Getting this tool has helped with colleagues outside of the main offices and allowed collaboration for all the different pieces that need to come together.,BasecampRyan Olsen 📱Packed Full of Features2019-02-14T15:19:31.033ZWithin our company, only marketing is currently using Wrike. We use it for task management, to create workflows, to create a space to track projects, and as a way to track information. It works especially well for a creative team by also letting you build your own review process that allows you to comment and review documents and files.,Wrike does well at reporting. It provides visibility for managers and allows you to report on task being accomplished as well as individual performance.
Each task and/or project has so many features. You can store files in the tasks, create subtasks, add fields for the task that store data, create dependencies, share the task with other, set deadlines, track the time you spend on each task, and move the task through different workflow stages. Having all these features makes it very easy for this software to fit any work situation.
Wrike does especially well at providing it users with a review process. Not only can you attach files for others to view, but it allows you to review the documents and make comments in Wrike. This makes the process so much easier to maintain and finish quickly.,Because it has so many features, it can be difficult to get a good grasp on how to use it best to fit your team. It definitely has a learning curve, but I still wouldn't consider it hard to use.
Wrike can easily become cluttered feeling and difficult to digest all of the information quickly. If you prefer things to be super simple for task management, then Wrike is not for you.,9,Wrike has enabled our team to become better at prioritizing our tasks, by controlling what enters our task lists. Using forms to create tasks helped us to do this.
It has also made tracking the work done by our team much easier, saving time for our team manager.Verified UserBest task/project management software I've ever used.2019-01-31T18:47:18.414ZOur marketing department heavily uses Wrike for all of our project management. We use it to submit requests for projects, plan out timelines, track the status of projects throughout their cycle, and as a robust individual task management tool as well. Additionally, other teams use it throughout the organization, although to varying degrees. Our team also uses Wrike to collect requests from across the company for projects like the creation of collateral, sales enablement pieces, etc.,Wrike makes it tremendously easy for multiple team members to collaborate on projects.
Wrike makes it easy to maintain version control of documents that are part of our projects. The document editor plugin comes in especially helpful, as it integrates with Microsoft Word and makes it easy for one person to upload a document, another person to review/edit/comment on that document, then send along to the next person.
The calendar function gives me a quick at-a-glance view of what I have to accomplish that day/week/month.
Reporting is quite easy. Customized reports make it simple to get a quick yet detailed view of tasks and projects using a wide variety of criteria. And it's simple enough that team members can easily create their own reports without a complex training process.
A wide variety of views (list view, Gantt charts, dashboards, kanban-like boards, etc.) allow for tremendous customization.,There really aren't many parts of Wrike that I find frustrating. Like most powerful programs, there is a bit of complexity that can be daunting at first, but even this particular aspect wasn't terribly overwhelming.
Setting up multiple workflows is powerful, but can be confusing if not done correctly (this is an area where some in-depth training is helpful)
This is a minor point, but when adding custom fields, in subtasks the order of those custom fields gets shifted around in the task view, making it difficult to find specific data if there is a large number of fields.,9,Wrike has saved our team SO much time. Our last project management software just didn't cut it... it was frustrating, and we eventually had to move away from it. When we began using Wrike, our entire team breathed a sigh of relief because it just works for us.
We always know where projects stand. I don't have to send a message to a team member to find out whether they've completed a task... it's a matter of a few clicks to find out where things stand.
Wrike allows our remote team members to seamlessly collaborate with our in-office employees, and this is just huge.,Asana and WorkfrontVerified UserWrike: MS projects for the cloud2019-02-17T03:49:07.993ZMy organization uses Wrike for project management and task requests for our marketing team and web management team.

It is cloud-based so can be used anytime and anywhere. Gantt charts, workload view for resource management, structuring projects according to priority, making categories, department wise project flow are the features can be used widely which are helpful to manage projects. It can be integrated with slack, SalesForce, Dropbox etc. which makes it easier to handle a task for project managers and developers. In my company, we use Wrike to create sprints, projects which go through approval and then we submit these to developers and other employees to work with. Wrike has the functionality of getting reports in various ways which help to track project and tasks more easily. Drag-drop of folder and tasks functionality allows to set those in different categories like a to-do list, QA, done etc. which helps keep tracking tasks of employee’s and tasks state, reports accordingly.,Drag and drop functionality helps a lot to maintain a project.

We use this to manage our current project and its been extremely handy for us. I set up and assign tasks to my team using this and it lets me track those things very easily. The tagging features are really powerful if you use them correctly. It is also really good at keeping a record of our communication which in turn leads to improved accountability within our team.
It has definitely contributed positively to our timely delivery on goals.,It is really scalable. Works well in multiple use case scenarios.
You can customize it to a fairly large extent so you can make it work with whatever your workflow might be.
Good reporting features.
It is pretty simple to use, won't require training or downtime on your team to get this up and running.

This tool allows stakeholders from different teams to submit requests to my team, which handles marketing automation programs. The Wrike request form gathers all required materials for the program, and my team reviews requests and creates a project timeline with scheduled tasks. Wrike allows multiple teams to communicate in one place.,Advanced Request Forms - With Wrike, I was able to develop a master request form to cover all different types of projects. The form asks the necessary questions depending on the type of project requested. Having one master form alleviates stakeholders from sorting through a list of request forms and trying to figure out the correct one to use.
Highlights daily tasks - The dashboard has a "My Work" tab that displays all of my tasks due that day, as well as any overdue tasks.
Simplifies multi-team project communication - Updates, discussions, and questions surrounding a specific project can all be found in one place. This is so much more efficient than communicating project details via email.,The learning curve is steep for new users, mostly because Wrike has so many different features and functionalities.
Lack of integration options - it would be super helpful if this tool was able to integrate with other tools my team uses,9,Wrike eradicated the need to hire a project manager for my team, allowing us to use that budget on headcount for production work.,Marketo, ON24, BrightTALKVerified UserWrike is a comprehensive solution enabling a diverse Marketing team2019-01-22T16:09:51.061ZWrike is being used primarily for the marketing team to manage multiple projects and campaigns over complicated deadlines. The Wrike interface is particularly helpful for managing design and content projects with freelancers. Wrike's clear and simple status update feature allows our team to easily track ongoing initiatives without having to waste time with constant email and Slack update requests.,Collaboration: For us, Wrike is a teamwork tool first and foremost. The technology allows our team to communicate on a project in a common space so we don't need to search our emails, Slack messages, or meeting notes to recall next steps.
Workflow: Our team works a lot with outside designers, and this relationship is managed by our Director of Design. Through Wrike, all of our designers have their own login and have permissions to access the projects they are assigned. From there, individual team members are able to communicate directly with the freelancer to develop a project, and our Director is able to check-in at any stage and offer final approval.
Requests: Our Marketing team loves to source ideas from other areas of the company, but it's not always a simple process. Wrike has a feature that lets us collect detailed requests from colleagues and filters those requests directly to the appropriate marketing team member. We are a scaling company and growth means that not every employee knows who is responsible for what, so we've found this feature to be easy to use.,I find the search functionality in Wrike to be a little difficult. If a project has been put on hold, it can be hard to find down the line.
If a project is on the smaller side, building out a brief and scheduling in Wrike can be a waste of time. We typically keep only our large projects in Wrike, which means we are constantly switching in and out of Wrike as a task manager.
There's a bit of a learning curve and I don't think our team is even close to utilizing all the capabilities of this tool. Not sure if that's a criticism of Wrike, but just something to keep in mind.,9,Improved communication and collaboration leading to better alignment on projects and goals

UX design could be more user friendly,10,Efficiency improvements. Projects stay on track and fewer PMs are required
Reduction in costs associated with rush jobs due to project delays,AsanaVerified UserGreat project management app for startups and small teams in general2019-02-07T20:12:29.704ZWe use Wrike across our organization primarily for our dev team to organize their product pipeline, as well as for our implementation / client success team to deliver feedback via ticketing system on tweaks / bug fixes that need to be made.,Robust functionality with several different views (Eisenhower matrix, Gaant chart, Kanban, etc)
Permission setting are pretty granular for ensuring only certain people see / edit stuff.,Not as 'pretty' as some other more modern project management apps out there. Wrike has been around for a while which is a strength in their market presence but like with any large company, there are always smaller competitors that fit better niches or have a slicker, more intuitive UI/UX.,8,We've definitely realized a positive ROI on the investment, as it's a must to have a system like Wrike to manage a multitude of projects and people.Verified UserWRIKE! Good for some, not so good for others.2018-03-01T22:18:07.047ZOur company uses Wrike as an overall project/task management tool. It started in our production department, and has since been implemented company wide. It is used to address our issues with task tracking, time management, task responsibility and overall project tracking/communication. It has also become a useful resource in compiling company protocols and information on the Wrike knowledge base.,Wrike does a great job tracking tasks, and providing a space for project specific communication.
Wrike is extremely useful for delineating responsibility and assigning projects digitally, and tracking the progress of those projects.
The application is a great tool for compiling company info, and allowing users across the organization to access department specific info from all over the company.,Setting up an entire project with dependencies etc. can be daunting and is a lot like databasing. It is not the most user friendly.
Email notifications should be done differently. Users are alerted to every mention/inbox/project or task update, and then another general Wrike update email. It can become a bit much.
Despite being a great tool for project management and task/project assignment etc., it promotes unrealistic goals when getting tasks/deadlines from users who have no idea what your workload is or what is on your task list.,8,I believe that as far as project management goes for our various productions, it has been a great ROI.
The issues with it being more than we need may be perceived as a negative impact on ROI, as we are not able to fully utilize it, and it can be a disservice to some staff. For project management though, especially at an organization using it solely for those purposes, it is great.
The document management, and communication does not add much to the ROI as it tends to muck things up more with different versions. The functionality is not very good for the editing/comment sections of the document portion.,Microsoft Project and ProWorkflow,Slack, RightSignature, JustworksJames Weiss
