Work Smarter: Wrike Online Software for Project Management

There are a lot of project management tools available for businesses and one of the best is Wrike. Wrike is an online project management software that enables teams to work together on projects using tools for scheduling, tracking time, and organizing information. The system enables teams to break down large projects into smaller, more manageable tasks, collaborate on these tasks and projects, and even visualize the entire project schedule as a Gantt chart. The service is web-based with native Android and iOS apps available for mobile devices.

A project management tool needs to link with other systems in order to bring all work into one space. There are plenty of options with Wrike. First off, there is email integration with Apple Mail, Gmail, and Outlook. With the email add-in you can easily turn any email into a task within Wrike. For integrating cloud storage, Wrike works with Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive, allowing you to easily attach files from the cloud into your work. Then there are integrations with various work systems such as Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, Evernote, Zapier, and much more.

For managers, Wrike gives you a real-time visual overview of your team’s project. You can track the status of a project by creating reports and looking at how many resources are being used, who is working on what, and when the deadlines are coming.

For project management and team leaders there are real-time dashboards, task management tools, performance dashboards, timeline reporting and a live editor.

The great thing about Wrike is that basic task management is free for 5 users. Upgrading to the professional plan ($10 per user per month) gives you much more, namely: Gantt charts, subtasks, email add-ins and various integrations. For enterprise users, the enterprise plan is the most complete option with Saleforce integration, custom calendars, real-time reports, custom workflows, single sign on, and much more.

One recently announced program is Wrike for Students. This new service enables students from around the world to track to-dos, group projects and assignments. You can enter assignments and their due dates and can view a timeline with task status. The really great thing about Wrike for Students is students can sign up for free.
