Creating Projects

Table 3. Availability - Legacy plans


Overview

All users except collaborators can create projects.

Note

This option might not be available on Business accounts and up due to custom item types suggestions settings.

Projects are one of the main ways to organize, manage, and report on work within Wrike. Use projects to manage a group of tasks that are part of a larger goal.

Projects enable you to track the status and due dates separately from your tasks while adding information directly to the project itself: project owner, start date, end dates, custom fields, plus any attachments or conversations that the project team will want to access.

Create a project

FAQ

Is there a way to edit the author field?

The author field is a system field that shows historical information on who created the item (project/folder/task etc.) and it can't be modified manually.
