Overcomes Primary Challenge for Managing Projects in Digital Workplace with Enhanced Views, Calendars, and Dashboards
San Jose, Calif., August 13, 2018 -- Wrike, the collaborative work management platform for high-performance teams, is helping project managers gain greater visibility and control over collaborative work in the Digital Workplace, overcoming a key challenge for completing work at scale. The newly enhanced viewing options, which include a Gantt chart, list view, board view, and a new file view, as well as new calendars and dashboard features, also deliver increased transparency and improved accountability for responsible team members. The flexibility in how information is viewed, combined with real-time visibility into work across projects and tasks at all levels, provides enterprises with the data needed to track activity to strategic goals.
“We’re very excited to be gaining even more visibility into work and workflows within Wrike,” says Hootsuite Vice President of Marketing Jeremy Woods. “The Calendar feature in particular will allow us to align all of our tactics, not only throughout the regions, but also within HQ, from marketing pushes to product releases, feature releases, and partner integrations. Allowing us to align everything makes our messaging a lot clearer for our customers.”
According to a report on digital workplace technologies by Gartner, “by 2022, 70 percent of organizations leveraging collaborative work management systems will report that their teams are significantly better performing.” These features represent Wrike’s focus on customers’ needs and helping them transform how teams collaborate in the Digital Workplace, as well as the company’s commitment to continuous innovation and pushing to further define collaborative work management. All of these features are available in the browser version and the Android mobile app, as well as the award-winning desktop application of the Wrike Platform, allowing users to benefit from these advanced capabilities regardless of how and where they work.
“Project management is no longer reserved for certified Project Managers in the Digital Workplace,” said Wrike CEO Andrew Filev. “Work today is often more fluid, and different users sometimes require different views into the same data. These new features allow teams to be nimble and better visualize hidden work, while simultaneously delivering leadership with the high-level visibility across all projects and portfolios needed to visibly track work to strategic outcomes. ”
