AI and Automation

We've delved into the automation features, allowing certain statuses to automatically comment-tag a particular person and/or assign the project/task to them. We've also added automation to remind folks to add files to approval for certain statuses.

This automation has saved time, streamlined processes, and made the overall workflow of our projects and tasks much easier and less stressful!

Usability

I appreciate the workflows and automation, and especially how customizable they are to fit the needs of each particular type of task. Whether we're working on creative, our magazines, a marketing campaign, a website build, or something completely different, we have everything we need to ensure for a smooth process!

Alternatives Considered

Asana and monday.com

I've only ever used the above platforms more like a personal to-do list software, which is fine, but I'm not sure that they offer the same robust project management that Wrike does. Wrike makes it easy to shepherd a project through each stage, from inception to planning to execution, and all in one place.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wrike is well-suited for projects that involve multiple people, teams, or departments. It's great for those bigger projects that change hands a lot, because it's easy to see where a project is at in its life cycle and to whom it belongs at any given point.

For smaller projects that really only involve a single person or a small team, it seems to be more effort than is needed. So, it might not be well-suited for a personal to-do list.
