Wrike is an online tool for collaborative planning. It allows people to share tasks, keep track of the tasks' progress and control its completion. Wrike enables users to organize projects and activities as project management tools do and discuss and work on them. The main value of Wrike is that it allows you to decentralize control and responsibility for overall plans and permit online access to plans that is equal for all related participants.

Wrike won B2B start-up competition on leWeb3. Wrike Beta2 was publicly announced at this conference on December, 2006.

[edit] Features

  • Integration with e-mail. Users can assign tasks and track any changes via e-mail. They can add wrike(at)wrike.com to the recipients of any e-mail, and Wrike saves this e-mail as a task. Wrike extracts from the e-mail such properties as
    • the task name,
    • the description,
    • who it is shared with,
    • any attachments,
    • the due date,
    • the parent group.
  • Emergent structures. They allow covering project teams, departments, the whole organization and different social circles. The same task can be included in different groups. Only the people with whom the task (or the group) is shared can see and edit it.
  • Open-edit model. All the people involved in the task fulfillment can contribute it. The person who assigned the task, responsible and who the task is shared with have the same rights.
  • web 2.0 product: user experience multiplies with the growth of number of users.

Wrike is in Beta2 stage now.

[edit] Wrike allows users to

  • assign tasks (via e-mail & on the web)
  • receive online and e-mail notifications (if any changes are done)
  • receive digest of overdue tasks every day
  • set due dates of the tasks and groups and get reminders

[edit] Criticism

Wrike is freeware, eventually sponsored by advertisements (Adware) - as of many statements in the Terms of service [1]. Wrike doesn't contain ads yet.

There were several criticisms on Wrike's design: "I have to laugh just a bit every time I look at the Wrike page." [2].
