Transparent workflows are a key to successful project completion and efficiency of any organization. However, getting an insight into what each team member is occupied with at any given moment of time may be challenging for almost every manager, to say nothing of a person in charge of multiple international projects, involving hundreds of thousands of volunteers from all over the world. Yet, Ryan Wood, COO at Absolute.org, a charitable non-profit organization, helping people in need in different corners of the globe, found an elegant solution to this common problem. Absolute.org’s team adopted Wrike as a project and workflow management system and the project management software changed the way people were collaborating on tasks. “Each team member can see what is happening on the projects that he or she is involved in. All the project schedules are up-to-date, as the changes made by other team members are seen in real time,” says Ryan. Read the rest of the story and find out why Absolute.org chose Wrike over other project management tools.

Key to Adopting New Project Management Software from Day 1
Published by Daria
| Thursday, 18 March, 2010
How do you get your team to fully adopt new project management software from Day 1? This can be a tricky question, as implementing a new system always involves training of your staff, which can take up to several months, right?Yet Adrian McDonagh, Managing Director at the U.K.’s leading Internet recruitment service, EasyWebRecruitment.com, was able to find a solution that was thoroughly adopted by his team of 15 people from the first day of use. Does he know some kind of secret?
Well, this secret is simple: successful adoption is not about the tool. It’s about your team being able to use it. Adrian knows that when you look for a new software solution, it’s important to pick an application, which ties in with the technologies your employees already use and love. This lets you sneak the new system into your team members' hands while providing a familiar interface. So if you don’t want to put additional training pressure on your staff, find a system that fits the existing workflows and integrates with apps that your team members already know. This was exactly what Adrian did when he offered Wrike to his team to use for project and task management.
“Our major challenge with all the project management systems was adoption. The team was already working very hard, and we did not want to add something to their day that would take a lot of time and training to get to grips with, or add to their administrative burden. It was completely different with Wrike. I was pleased to see that, once I showed the team how simple Wrike was, even the more skeptical members of the team were quickly convinced, ” says Adrian. What became the key to 100% Wrike adoption by the EasyWebRecruitment team? Read the whole interview with the company’s managing director to find out.
