Solution for PMO

Wrike’s Solution for PMO is a comprehensive project and program management solution that connects strategy, planning, and agile execution to match the pace of change organizations experience today. This new solution, tailored to the project management office (PMO), is the only collaborative work management solution to offer intuitive product portfolio management with the granular transparency to connect strategy, planning, everyday cross-team collaboration, execution, and progress. Now, PMOs can make decisions with confidence, based on real data. Program managers, product lifecycle managers, and project managers can now plan, execute, manage, and measure initiatives at every level within a single, unified solution. This allows PMOs to empower program managers across all business units to keep projects moving forward and achieve milestones on time with a purpose-built workspace to mitigate risk, take action, and ensure initiatives meet their deadlines and goals. 

The New Wrike Experience

Developed from extensive research and user feedback, the New Wrike Experience combines the functionality and ease-of-use individuals, teams, and organizations need to be more productive and manage work better. The new Wrike workspace experience declutters the mind and work alike, promoting the right work mindset. Users can now navigate quickly through Wrike and focus on important work while removing unnecessary distractions and minimizing information overload. Team members can save and share their setup of work views, while managers can create a work view setup to keep their teams aligned and engaged.

“The user experience has always been paramount at Wrike, but in the last year we’ve truly placed it front and center,” said Alexey Korotich, VP of Product, Wrike. “We have honed our solutions and customer service to exceed expectations, and it’s only natural for the user experience to align with that level of quality. As the face of our product, the New Wrike Experience is the most exciting aspect of today’s launch for me because it touches every single one of us. We have made it more personal, effective, scalable, focused, and simplified for all users.”

Budgeting

Wrike’s native budget tracking enhancements allow professional services firms and agencies to keep projects on the path to profitability. The new budgeting feature is a built-in, flexible role-based rate card that enables project pricing and ongoing tracking of project financials in Wrike. Organizations can plan for their target profits and track budget spend in real time throughout project delivery to keep margins positive and meet customer expectations. 

“My favorite thing about Wrike is the total ease of use and that it can be used for simple project management to very complex project management,” said Sherrie Besecker, Digital Program Manager, Syneos Health. “It can be used by anyone regardless of skill set. Wrike enables us to see real-time timelines and accurate due dates, share collaborative work, and increase productivity across project management teams.”
