Stress-Free Reporting with Scheduled Report Reminders

It's Friday at 4:00 pm, and you have to deliver your weekly project status report in 30 minutes. You're stressed out waiting on updates from your team. It's a tightrope walk: on one hand, you want the latest info to be included, on the other, you don't want to deliver the report late to executives and clients.

Sound familiar?

Agile teams approach Reports differently. Instead of creating a parallel process for reporting the progress of sprints, managers design a smooth workflow for the team, with a single field to update status. Then they share a transparent report into that workflow: a real-time, single source of truth. Teams are empowered to update tasks as they go. Management can view the workflow report anytime to see where things stand.

Wrike recently launched Shared Interactive Reports to instantly provide that real-time view to teams, execs and clients. But you still want to make sure that tasks are updated regularly and that managers review project status at least once a week.

Today, Wrike released Scheduled Report Reminders to solve this problem.

Now, your team can receive scheduled reminders in their Wrike Inboxes and via email (e.g. Friday at 2:00 pm before a stand-up meeting). This reminder links directly to the report where your team can click into tasks to update them quickly. Your senior management team and clients can subscribe to a reminder (e.g. Friday at 4:30 pm) to see the latest updates each week, and provide feedback to you. And everyone can move on with their Friday evening, stress-free.

Share Reports Instantly

Easily share your reports with teams, execs, and clients. Recipients see them instantly in their Wrike Reports area. All recipients see the report exactly as you designed it, and can sort the report to meet their needs.

Subscribe to Scheduled Report Reminders

Ask teams to subscribe to a reminder to submit their updates at a particular time. Execs and clients can subscribe to receive reminders to review and provide feedback on the report.

Save Time: Linking Directly to the Report

Reminders help save time. It allows you to simply click from the reminder into the interactive report to make updates or provide feedback.

"My Team" Group: Share a Task with Everyone

In certain cases, you might need to share a task or a folder with the entire organization -- for example: a task like "Vote where you want to hold the Holiday Party" or the folder for "New Hire Onboarding." And if you've ever done it, you know that it previously took multiple clicks. Well, rest easy. To make your task management more efficient, we've implemented a faster way to share a task or folder with your entire team: the My Team group. All regular Wrike users in your organization are automatically included in this default user group. Collaborators and external users are excluded to eliminate the possibility of accidentally sharing vital information (or projects) with a freelancer or a customer. So sharing a task with all regular users is now simply a matter of clicking on the My Team group. The default "My Team" group is now available in all Wrike accounts, from free to Enterprise. By the way, speaking of the latter: the Enterprise plan includes a smart User Groups feature which allows you to create as many custom groups as you need. This is one of the cool reasons to try Wrike Enterprise! To enable the awesome new feature in your account, please drop a note to us here!

3 Wrike Design Improvements That Will Save You Time

We strive to make your day-to-day work in Wrike as efficient as possible. Not only with big feature releases, but also the small improvements to save you time each day. Here are three enhancements that will make your work faster: 1. Comment field stays at the bottom of the task view In a similar way, the comment field will always stay at the bottom of your screen regardless of which part of the task you're viewing. This should make it easier to comment on many parts of a long task description. 2. Stream adapted for large screens The new Activity Stream layout has been adapted for large screens and ensures that more information fits on one page, so it's easier to read through for everyone. 3. Unfollow tasks directly from the Activity Stream Quickly unfollowing tasks you're no longer interested in is now available while browsing the newsfeed. Remember, there are some tasks that you can't unfollow (e.g. tasks where you're an assignee), so if you try then you'll see a popup explaining the reason. Keep an eye out for more updates! Each of these three changes is small, but altogether they bring an improved experience to your Wrike workspace! Hit the comments to tell us what you think.
