You can create tasks from emails

Wrike's rich email integration gives you a big productivity gain. It enables you to create tasks anywhere, anytime, without logging into the system.

You only need to CC your next email with a task to wrike at wrike.com, and Wrike will help you to keep track of it. Wrike will remind your team members about the task. When the task is updated, Wrike will send you an instant email notification about the progress.

Wrike perfectly works with any email client, including Outlook, BlackBerry, Gmail and any other desktop, Web-based and mobile email software.

Your emails are automatically turned into neat Gantt charts

Wrike's Intelligent Email Engine™ builds you a timeline from tasks that you email. Once you send an email with wrike at wrike.com in the CC field, the task is added to the project plan and appears on a timeline in Wrike.

A timeline is one of the main instruments of a project manager. It allows you to plan projects more effectively and gives a better view of the project status. It focuses your attention on overdue tasks and critical project parts.

Wrike's timeline does even more. It gives you exactly the perspective you need. It nicely merges separate project parts into a bigger picture. Depending on your needs, you can browse a timeline for one employee or for your whole organization. You can drill down into the details or get an overview for a series of projects.

Wrike saves you time on planning and rescheduling your projects. Thanks to the drag-and-drop feature, you can reschedule tasks right on a timeline. Wrike automatically communicates changes in the project plan to your team, doing one more routine job for you.

You get a clear project picture

Wrike's Flexible Structures™ allow you to simultaneously apply several work-breakdown structures to the same project. For example, in Wrike, your plan can be concurrently organized around deliverables and phases of the project lifecycle.

In other words, Wrike allows you to include one item in several folders. For your convenience, some parts of your projects can intersect.

Wrike adjusts to your needs easily and allows you to organize the plan the way that best suits your project. Wrike's flexibility allows you to organize projects logically, get good visibility into projects and get quick access to the necessary information.

Furthermore, Wrike allows you to plan projects from the bottom up. Wrike can easily merge sub-projects, different views and your employees' to-do lists into a bigger picture.

If your projects change over time, you can easily adapt your plans in Wrike. This enables your team to become more agile and better meet project requirements.

You can keep your team on the same page

Whenever you need to, you can share any part of the plan with your team members, so they get instant access to the up-to-date project information. Together you can work on shared tasks, discuss issues and work out decisions. Every team member can instantly contribute to shared tasks, add comments or upload files.

Collaboration makes plans more practical, allows you to utilize collective intelligence within your projects and increases your team productivity.

You save time on routine jobs

Wrike releases you from routine jobs, such as reminding your teammates about what needs to be done. Wrike issues daily email reminders that help your team members meet their deadlines.

Wrike also releases you from collecting data about task progress from each team member. If anyone updates a task in Wrike, the change automatically becomes visible to you and other people. All Gantt charts that have this task are automatically updated. You are also instantly notified about the change. Wrike's automated notifications help you keep a pulse on your projects easily and react to the changes quickly.

Wrike does a lot of your routine jobs for you and leaves you more time to drive your projects to results.

You can track time spent on tasks

Wrike's customized reports allow you to easily trace what each member of your team is responsible for and evaluate his or her results.

Moreover, Wrike's has an integrated time-tracker that helps you to keep track of employees' effectiveness.

Time-tracking also helps you bill clients and pay external consultants. You can generate clear time reports and provide them to the third-parties. The timesheets can be easily shared directly in Wrike or exported to CSV file format and then sent to clients.

It is very convenient that time-tracking is integrated with the project management system in Wrike. This allows you to keep all information in one place and avoid data duplication between several tools.
