Breakout Sessions

TimeTrack 1: The Workflow BuilderTrack 2: The Transformation LeaderTrack 3: The Outcome Driver

10:45 AM - 11:30 AM PDT

Getting Started with Agentic Project ManagementThree Wrike customers from healthcare, retail, and supply chain share how they're actually using AI on real project work, and how they decided what to automate. Leave with practical approaches from teams who've already done it, plus a path toward successful AI implementation.

Start Small, Prove It, Scale It: How One Agency Built AI Adoption to Deliver ResultsAI adoption at creative agency Jellyfish started with one leader solving his own problems, not with a strategy deck or an internal memo. In this candid chat, James Ball, VP of Project Management, shares how he uses his own work as a testing ground: building agents to eliminate the work nobody should be doing manually, measuring the hours saved, then using those results to bring other teams along.

From Status Updates to Real Visibility with the End of the Status Meeting Nobody likes status meetings. See how AI agents pull real context from Wrike's Work Intelligence Graph so your work reports itself. End users stop writing updates, admins get modernized dashboards, and workflow owners stay ahead without micromanaging.  

11:30 AM - 12:15 PM PDT

Real Customer Environments: A Behind-the-Scenes Walkthrough In this behind-the-scenes walkthrough, two Wrike customers will show how they built their workflows: federated configurations across teams, agentic automations and integrations, and the governance and data guardrails that keep it all safe at scale.

From Project Management to Transformation Operationalization: The SharkNinja StoryThe organizations that succeed treat transformation as a constant, repeatable process, not a one-time project. Hear how SharkNinja moved beyond project management to operationalize it at scale, with real reporting and measurable impact.  

From Red to Green: Proving Your Team's Value with Metrics That MatterThe dashboard used to be red and amber. Here's how it turned green. Agentic Challenge winners share how their agents and workflow design saved real hours and moved the KPIs their leadership watches, plus the playbook for proving ROI with real metrics.  

12:15 PM - 1:00 PM PDT

Intake to Delivery: Building a Workflow That Grows With Your TeamSee how a great workflow actually evolves: start with an MVP built on clean intake, clear ownership, and defined stages, then layer in complexity like logic branching, WBS generation, forms, templates, and routing agents as your needs grow.

Plan It. Deliver It. Together. Connecting Strategy to Execution with Wrike SPMStrategy without execution goes nowhere, and execution without strategy wastes budget. See how Wrike's Strategic Portfolio Management connects the two, with portfolio Gantt, critical path tracking, and reporting for leaders who own outcomes at scale.

High Stakes, No Surprises: Mission-Critical Work from Plan to DeliveryWhen work is mission-critical, surprises are the enemy. One unflagged dependency can become a portfolio-wide failure. See how program leaders build defensible baseline plans, catch slippage early, and give stakeholders the visibility to act in time.
