[edit] History

The idea for Wrike came to Andrew Filev, Wrike’s founder, in 2004 [1] from a need for an agile tool to manage offices, projects, departments. Since the main medium for collaboration on tasks with associates in small and medium business is email[2] [3], Wrike was developed in an integration with email[4]. In December, 2006 the beta version of Wrike was released. The profession version was released in June, 2007[5].

[edit] Software

Wrike’s interface is built on AJAX for better performance and page loading time. Wrike is based on a theory of emergent structures. It involves collective intelligence into project management and allows project team to contribute to management process. Wrike allows users to create tasks, share them, keep track of the tasks’s progress and control their completion.

Wrike enables users to organize their tasks in projects and activities, then discuss and work on them together [6].

The main value of Wrike is that it allows managers to decentralize updating and control of overall plans and permit online access[7] to plans that is equal for all selected participants. Wrike makes it possible for managers to keep track of projects that require collaboration.
