At Steegle we are fans of great products and after a long deliberation of project management tools we chose (and now recommend) Wrike.
So what is Wrike?
Wrike is an all-in-one project management and collaboration software that integrates with Google Apps to bring your team closer to success. It connects tasks, discussions, and emails to your actual project plan and integrates with Google Apps to give attachments from Drive and task from emails in Gmail. You get an up-to-date picture of the project and can keep your team aligned with your strategy without boring status meetings.
With multiple teams and multiple projects running concurrently, Wrike keeps you on top of your team’s work without extra email and status meetings. Wrike helps you build repeatable processes, streamline operations, and get real-time visibility into the status of specific clients, projects, and key milestones.
With Wrike, your colleagues can collaborate on projects in real time. They are more engaged because they know exactly what to do and how their work connects to others. As tasks are handed off, new contributors get the complete context, access to previous decision-making discussions, and relevant files are already attached, so they have all the info they need.
Challenges solved:
Data silos: Tasks, discussions and documents scattered across email, Hangouts, personal computers and spreadsheets
Poor visibility into work status
Missed deadlines and project failures
Finding Google Docs and Google Sheets in Drive easier to find by attaching to comments and tasks
Task creation in Wrike from an email in Gmail
Single location for all communicatio for a task or project
Main benefits:
Accelerating project delivery by using a platform your team will actually use and love
Keeping all team members on the same page even across borders without lengthy status meetings, long email threads and spreadsheet updates
Big picture of project progress with real-time updates and cross-project reports and newsfeed
Real-time team collaboration with discussions, files attached to tasks, and a built-in document editor
