Overall Satisfaction with Wrike
Our project team uses Wrike to manage the work of our team. We have multiple interrelated projects and many members of the team work remotely at times. Using Wrike helps me as the coordinator plan and monitor the work of the team members. It also allows me to easily share the plans and progress with other members of the team.
- Gantt Chart display of project timelines: the visual is a powerful tool to communicate the scope of the project.
- The "dependencies" for tasks help communicate to team members the interrelatedness of their work and automate the process of notifying team members that all necessary prerequisites for their tasks have been completed (so they can start working).
- The interface isn't intuitive for new users. I spend a significant amount of time helping new team members understand how to interact with Wrike.
- When multiple users are assigned to a Wrike task, it is not clear who has responsibility for oversight/completion; it would be useful if a "primary" assignee could be designated in those cases.
- We are better able to plan our activities as a research team. We can also monitor our progress and evaluate our ability to meet deadlines.
- We can effectively utilize team members across projects using Wrike.
