Wrike: project and task management tool

Tuesday April 8, 2008

Wrike is an innovative Web-based project and task management tool that is affordable, easy to use, and structured well for small Web teams. I recently wrote a post comparing Wrike to Basecamp, the best-in-breed project management tool for Web designers.

There are 3 things that Wrike does differently from Basecamp that is especially appealing to Web workers who are not Web designers:

  1. Wrike charges per user, not per project. This lets you create hundreds of projects (or groupings of tasks) while only paying $3.99 per person per month.

  2. Wrike has two-way email integration. Not only does it send you reminders and a daily todo list, you can create new tasks via email! This is my favorite feature because it's so convenient.

  3. Wrike is still being actively developed. This is good and bad news. The developers are definitely listening to their users, and I see exciting and useful new features being released on a near-monthly pace. On the other hand, it's not "finished" and may be a bit rough around the edges.

Thanks for the recommendation! I really felt like I needed something more flexible than Basecamp. This tool looks exactly like the one I was looking for.

Hello,

I recommend to try ProjectOffice.net- online project management tool that is still in beta and free. You’ll be surprised by its simplicity. ProjectOffice.net has all basic project management features.
