Even the most experienced project management professionals need the help of additional resources at times — especially for large, unwieldy projects or complicated workflows. The most common challenges include:

  • Simplifying the scope of complex projects
  • Setting defined timelines and due dates
  • Managing and monitoring resources

Wrike’s work breakdown structure template can help you overcome these obstacles, providing a straightforward roadmap that will enable you to:

  • Separate your project into structured phases and tasks
  • Track tasks to balance workloads and stay on course
  • Maintain a bird’s-eye view of the entire project
