Wrike is a project management software. It is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product that is developed and marketed by Wrike, Inc. It enables its users to manage and track projects, deadlines, schedules, and other workflow processes. It also allows users to collaborate with one another. The application is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese and Russian. The primary goal of the software is to help streamline workflow and allow companies to focus on core tasks. As of 2016, it was used by over 12,000 companies[1] .

Features

Wrike is designed around a minimalist multi-pane UI[2] and is comprised of features in 2 categories: project management, and team collaboration. Project Management features are those which help teams track dates and dependencies associated with projects, manage assignments and resources, and track time[3]. These include an interactive Gantt chart, a workload view, and a sortable table that can be customized to store project data[4].

Collaboration features are those designed to aid in conversations, asset creation, and decision-making by teams. These include Wrike's Live co-editor, discussion threads on tasks, and tools for attaching documents, editing them, and tracking their changes. 

Wrike uses an "inbox" feature and browser notifications to alert users of updates from their colleagues and dashboards for quick overviews of pending tasks[5]. These updates are also available in Wrike's mobile apps on iOS and Android.

Wrike has an optional feature set called "Wrike for Marketers" which has several tools for managing marketing workflows[6]. According to Wrike's website, these tools include intake forms, proofing and approval, and document versioning[7]. 

Wrike was debuted by Founder Andrew Filev at the LeWeb 3 conference in Paris, in November of 2006. The software won the won top prize for new apps in the B2B category[8]. It first launched as a public beta in December 2006[9].

In May of 2012, Wrike announced the launch of a freemium version of it's software for teams of up to 5 users[10]. That year also saw the integration of a live text coeditor into its workspace to unify collaboration and task management[11].

In late 2013 Wrike released a new feature set called Wrike Enterprise which included advanced analytics and other tools targeted at large business customers[12]. Since then it's released several major updates to Wrike Enterprise, including a customizable spreadsheet called "Dynamic Platform" in late 2014[13] and custom workflows for teams in 2015[14].

In July of 2016,  Wrike was updated with a set of add-on features under the name "Wrike for Marketers," which includes integrations with Adobe Photoshop, a tool for submitting requests, and proofing and approval tools for creative assets like videos and images[15].

Mobile

Wrike is available as native Android[16] and iOS[17] apps.  Mobile apps include an interactive Gantt chart that syncs across devices[18]. The apps are available offline, and sync when connection is restored[19].

Wrike integrates with a number of other enterprise systems. These include:

  •  Microsoft Office 365 and Azure AD[26]
