Increase your productivity with RSS
Published by Daria
| Monday, 11 August, 2008
First of all, what is RSS? It is an abbreviation that stands for Really Simple Syndication — a format for delivering regularly changing Web content. Many news-related sites, blogs and other online publishers syndicate their content’s updates in the form of RSS feeds to help you keep track of newly published information.
How does RSS help you to be more productive?
The benefit of RSS is the aggregation of content from multiple online sources in one place. RSS makes life easier for people who regularly use the Web. You easily stay informed by receiving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You keep your privacy because, with RSS, you don’t have to subscribe to each site's e-mail newsletter. You save a lot of time because you do not need to visit each of your favorite sites individually.
How can you save time following your project’s progress with Wrike’s RSS feature?
You can use Wrike’s RSS feeds with Wrike’s e-mail to-do lists or instead of them, if you find it more convenient. Wrike’s RSS feature is a perfect complement to on-site update notifications that you see in the upper left-hand corner of your workspace. RSS might be especially helpful when you are out of the office because you will still get relevant and up-to-date information about your team’s progress for you to read in your own time. This information will be available with your smart phone, BlackBerry, iPhone or other mobile device.
How can I use RSS?
You need to have special software called an "RSS reader." It can be either Web-based or desktop-based. There’s a handy list of RSS readers in Wikipedia. Google Reader or Bloglines are very popular. Besides, you may already have one in your browser, if you use Fire Fox, Internet Explorer 7 or Safari.
To get updates from people you are collaborating with via RSS, you just need to click on the blue RSS icon in the upper right-hand corner of your workspace.
This will allow you to stay in the loop without having to stay logged on to wrike.com all the time. All the messages will be chronologically listed in your RSS reader. When new information is added to a task, you get an update with a link to the renewed task instantly.
With little helpers, like Wrike’s RSS feeds, you become more productive and manage your projects more efficiently.

Share Microsoft Project File Online
Published by Daria
| Tuesday, 05 August, 2008
If you ever have tried to use Microsoft Project, you know that it’s not very easy to share a Microsoft Project file with your team. You need to purchase and install Microsoft Project Server and a bunch of other applications, such as Microsoft Office Project Web Access. On average, the ability to share your plans will cost you between $4,998 and $85,892, plus a lot of your time and patience.
The good news is now you can share a Microsoft Project file with your team in minutes, and it will cost you only $ 11.99 per team member (with a year-to-year subscription)! Wrike’s new Enterprise version makes sharing Microsoft Project Gantt charts incredibly easy.
Signing up for a Wrike account takes a just few minutes, but it will save hours of your team’s precious working time. If you already have a Wrike account, it will be even easier to upgrade. With the new enterprise version, you can just upload your existing Microsoft Project file to Wrike. To do so click on the “MS Project” icon in the upper right hand corner of your workspace.
Your file will be converted into a Dynamic TimelineTM that any member of your team can access and change. You can work on your Microsoft Project file together with your team online. The timeline will reflect all the tasks’ dates and dependencies. This feature makes the transfer to Wrike’s online project management software painless for you and millions of other Microsoft Project users.

Build Task Dependencies to Schedule Projects
Published by Valerie
| Monday, 04 August, 2008
Wrike’s users benefit from the timeline feature that allows them to plan projects and reschedule tasks with drag-and-drop support. You can drag the task bar on the chart to change the task duration, start date or end date. Once any change is made, your team members are instantly notified about it via e-mail, RSS or iCal feed.
Task dependencies, an important project management feature, have been launched this week. Wrike automatically links tasks so that a rescheduling of a top task cascades down to its dependent tasks, immediately displaying the downstream effects on the entire project. This results in a far more accurate and maintainable project plan. Watch a demo of task dependencies in action.
How task dependencies work.
Task dependencies are available to you with an enterprise subscription. We welcome you to upgrade your account and instantly benefit from task dependencies.
If you are keeping your plans in Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel, it is very easy to start using Wrike. You can simply import your MS Project files to Wrike, share them with your colleagues and work on the plans together, anytime and anywhere. Sign up for Wrike now and get a 30-day free trial.

Published by Daria
| Tuesday, 08 July, 2008
We can't help sharing how some of our users are enthusiastic about our project management software. James Wilson, a producer from VegasBuzzz.com, made a great video, telling how Wrike helps him to run his online news business.
The video was submitted to be a part of an intriguing Business@Work project started by Business Week. The project is in fact a discussion of how Business Week readers try to cope with problems they face at work. James suggested Wrike as an excellent solution for managing your time and boosting productivity.
Thank you, James! We appreciate your recognition. You and many of our other customers give us inspiration for making Wrike the most practical project management software.
Let us know if there are examples of Wrike customers being enthusiastic about our project management tool, and we will write about them in this blog.

Published by Valerie
| Thursday, 03 July, 2008
We recently improved the dashboard interface, so it allows you manage your tasks easier and faster. The dashboard displays the tasks assigned to you that are overdue or due within a week.
So you can easily decide what task to tackle first, the dashboard contains the information regarding the task priority, due date or how many days it is overdue. Additionally, parent folders are shown near each task, so you can quickly get the context of the task.
The dashboard allows you to manage tasks the following ways:
1) Mark the task as completed by clicking on the check box on the left of the task name.
2) Reschedule the task by clicking on the pencil icon. Once the changes are made, hit the “Save” button.
3) Delete the task by clicking the recycle bin icon on the left of the task name.
4) View other task details, such as description, attachments, etc., by clicking on the task title.
