[Status: Not planned] Board View For Projects

What would be great with this is to also have functionality to link the completion of a specific task with the custom status of a project (for standardised workflows) so that the project custom status can be automatically updated based on which tasks are complete.  This way you can use the existing Dashboard functionality to create kanban-style views of project status (you'd just have to forgo the ability to actually drag-and-drop the project from one custom status to another)

Thank you for providing more feedback here Nick Shorter!

This would be huge! We run as an Agile marketing team with daily standups and sprint priotization. 95% of our work is in projects so the board view is useless to us but we would use it all the time if it worked with projects and not just tasks. +1 for me!

Thank you for sharing your use case and supporting here Mandy Schnirel 🤗

I cannot believe there isn't an easy way to visualize a project status board. There's project workflow, so why not a way to see it? This is a must-have item. 

Matthew Douglass Welcome to the Community 👋

Thank you for supporting this suggestion! It's on the team's radar and as soon as we have an update to share, we will make sure to let you know.

I'd love to see a board view that looks like the one I have photoshopped below. It would be so helpful to be able to see all active tasks for each project within a folder, rather than all tasks by their progress indiscriminate of project. 

Hi Whitney Anderson, welcome to the Community and thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm passing it on to the team👍🏼

This would indeed be great to have!

Hi Pierre Cléaud, thank you for adding your support here👍🏼

Why this feature is not planned as it has so many upvotes? Aer you re-considering some of the points again?

Hi MB, welcome to the Community 👋 

Let me share some detail on how this Product Feedback forum works. We have a voting system here where any Wrike user can upvote a suggestion when visiting the Community. We have a process for reporting all suggestions, feedback, and votes from this forum to our Product team, and they continuously review all of this data. 

Once any suggestion reaches the 60 votes threshold, we add a Product status to it. You can check out more info on that and on the list of statuses in this post. The status for this particular suggestion is currently 'Not planned'. The team has been reviewing and continues to receive the feedback here, but they can't prioritize it over other planned releases and enhancements. If we do have an update for this suggestion in the future, we will let you know about it here in this thread.

Our team can't commit to working on all or even most of the suggestions in this forum, but at the same time, feedback from this channel is still important to them. As an example, here's the list of Community-generated suggestions that the team has released last year.

I hope this info was helpful, but please let me know if you have any questions!

I agree with everyone above. Have the ability to view "Project" cards on "Board" view would be very helpful to our team, as some projects are actually a campaign of multiple project productions. Having this feature would allow our team to easily track project status from a Kanbar point-of-view.

This feature should be prioritized--it is critical for managing multiple projects with competition for resources.

I'm adding a +1 vote for this feature to be prioritized, please. Having the ability to view project cards on the board view would allow our team to use Wrike "projects" as intended.

This would be sooo beneficial, if we could see all the projects in one view and where they sit in the process!

Hi Amanda Wood and Bethany Spaeth, thank you both for supporting this suggestion🙌🏼

+1 this feature is SOOO needed! This exact request came up from my team this week. It's easy to visualize execution/deliverable tasks, but creating a 10,000 foot view for leadership in a colorful, visual way is challenging right now. Reports and Table view don't quite have the same impact that the Board view does.

Reiterating my previous support for this feature--this would make a huge difference in managing projects.  

Not a solution, but it comes as close to it as possible.

We are managing a bunch of projects and need an overview of it in a kind of "management" summary dashboard. Therefore we ask the project owners to review the projects regularly and assign a status to them like on tasks.

Next I've created a custom dashboard with multiple projects widgets next to each other. Each representing a single status, so actually I looks like a Kanban board, but doesn't allow easy drag&drop or easy changes. However, it get's you a good overview.

Hi Peter Jaffe and Daisy Hibbard, thank you both for bumping this thread, and thank you Bernhard Scholz for sharing your workaround!

It's been almost a year and this is a highly upvoted feature request. Checking in to see if this is now on the team's roadmap? 

My current workaround is to create tasks that start with "PROJECT:" and use our project workflow so I can see them on a Board view separate from the normal tasks. This is a lot of extra work though. I'd love to be able to tag a project to my Project folder so I can easily track statuses as they change instead of manually checking in and updating my project placeholder tasks. Boo. 😥

Hey Daisy Hibbard, thanks for checking in here. I'm checking this out and will be back with an update ASAP 👍

Elaine THANK YOU! For what it's worth, if we had the ability to customize the building blocks allowed in a space, we could create a Custom Item Type for "Project" and that should show up on a Board view. But as it stands now, since I can't remove or hide the standard "Project" from a Space because it's a default option, I know it will get messy really fast and will require a lot of training to make sure the people creating projects are using the right one. Sharing in case this is an easier workaround for the dev team!

Hey Daisy Hibbard and everyone! We've checked with the team and for now, adding projects to the Board view is not something our team is planning to add in the near future. We'll continue sharing your feedback and the vote count here with them and if we have any updates at some point, we'll be sure to let you know. 

We understand this may be disappointing news, and we hope other high-anticipated updates we've been sharing and will continue to share with you are welcome and useful for you and your teams.

Thanks for the update!

Just started the trial with Wrike, currently using Trello for the past 4 years. Using Kanban view for our projects has been what keeps us using Trello. The inability to have a great flow of set tasks for each project is what has me over at Wrike. But not being able to see projects in a board view is what will keep me looking for another option.

Any chance that this feature is in the works? Because i see this as a need feature for me and the other business owner to look at the progress and choke points of our company at a quick glance.

Please let me know if there are plans to make the feature in the future.

Hi Keith Duncan, welcome to the Community, and thank you for chiming in. I'm passing your feedback on to our Product Team, and please rest assured that we will keep you informed in case there are any improvements added 👍

May I ask if you have already tested our New Dashboards? This option could be very useful in your case, as dashboards can be based on projects.

Looking forward to your reply!

It's disappointing the product team doesn't understand why this is such an important feature. Clearly a disconnect with what they're building and how the customers use it. Being able to see entire projects on a Kanban board is a basic feature of every other project management product out there. The use case is apparent to anyone who manages complex projects for large teams.

And no, the dashboard feature isn't sufficient. It doesn't allow you to move the projects to different statuses like you can in something like Trello or Asana. Would be happy to know if I'm just missing something.

Hello Michael Farr, welcome to the Community. I'm sorry to hear this situation is affecting your work, please rest assured that all your feedback is being shared with our Product Team. Unfortunately, not all suggestions can be implemented as quickly as we'd like to. We will keep you updated in case there are any changes implemented, we understand this is an important option for you and your team.

Please, feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions or if there is anything else we could help you with.
