Overall Satisfaction with Wrike
It is used as a project management tool within our internal creative studio. We use it to receive briefs (via forms), manage all tasks, communicate with stakeholders and each other, and to produce statistics about our productivity and output through the year. We also use it to communicate directly with external suppliers, such as printers, so they can be plugged directly into tasks.
Pros
- Communication - it is easy to assign and tag people directly, and they can see the history of the job so far
- Organisation - it is easy to group tasks of the same type, using tagging and folders
- Reporting
Cons
- Reporting - it can sometimes be difficult (or non-intuitive) to report things that aren't a specific 'Wrike metric'. For example I want to create a dashboard that filters by 2 different folder tags, so that I can report on task numbers, but I can't filter more than once for location as far as I can see.
- I would also like to see some simple, easy ways of reporting things like - highest number of hours on a task, task that was active the longest etc. The kinds of metrics that were included in the Wrike round-up email at the end of the year would be interesting to report on throughout the year.
- Project and task functionalities - we trip up over this quite a lot, why can we not create dashboards or reports that report on both projects and tasks?
- Why are projects harder to find and less intuitive to engage with?
- We now avoid creating projects because they don't behave the same way as tasks and they can't be reported on at the same time as tasks.
- Project planning - it is quite difficult plotting out projects on a calendar view or GANTT chart. It is overly complicated to see what you're looking at and to plot the tasks.
- It would be helpful to set multiple key dates within the task, e.g. deadline for studio, production deadline, go-live date.
- It would also be good to be able to set multiple statuses at once
- Improved collaboration and feedback collection
- Improved overall work quality due to team visibility
We have used the automation features to write message prompts when action is needed. Beyond that we haven't utilised these all that much.
