[Welcome!] New to the Community? Introduce yourself! 👋

Hello, I am Ped. I am an Engineering Manager for Ambrose and we are in the process of moving our overall business into wrike. 

We are also in the process of evaluating the move up to Wrike Pinnacle, and I am particularly interested in in Analyze. 

I am still working through a lot of this and reading the documentation. Most of my question will be around custom item types and custom fields. 

Hello Ped Watt, welcome to the forums! We're happy to hear that you are interested in these options, definitely very powerful tools 💪 Please, feel free to share any questions you might have, we'll be happy to assist you or put you in contact with our experts.

Looking forward to seeing your comments, feedback, and ideas in the Community throughout the year 😁

Hello,

I am a mechanical engineer that is breaking into the project management role.

I've used Microsoft Project and JIRA and learning Wrike on the fly. 

The flexibility of Wrike to offer different project management style bases on the project needs has been amazing.

I am very motivated by learning new things and becoming certified, so Wrike Certified Professional was a great learning opportunity.

Outside of work I am an avid outdoorsman with winter being my favorite season because I can ski and use my Professional Ski Instructor certifications on the weekends.

Update to Answer Lisa's question,

Yes, I am using Wrike for work to manage projects for a sensor manufacturer. My team focuses on temperature sensing technology and my job is to manage projects by bridging the gap between design engineers and other managers throughout the organization. I use Wrike blueprints and request forms to kick projects off with the majority of tasks preloaded, then follow up in Gantt view to do the majority of project exercises. 

Thanks,

Devin Cooper

It's great to have you Devin Cooper, welcome! 👋

Are you using Wrike for your work? It would be great if you could share some of the use cases 🙂

Hello, I'm Crysta!

I'm a producer for our marketing tech engineering team and we've been using Wrike since 2020 after switching from Jira, though I am new to the forums. I love being able to explore the tool and find new ways to improve our practices within Wrike. 

A bit about me:

- I am a voracious reader of many different genres.

- I absolutely love cooking and baking as well as traveling to different places to try their food.

- Prior to working in the tech industry, I was a middle school/high school Spanish teacher.

Hi Crysta Cadella, thank you for introducing yourself! Super interesting profile! 🧐

Spanish teacher? Entonces dejame decirte que es un gusto tenerte en nuestra Comunidad 😃

Hello from the Netherlands! I'm the director of Operations for LeadFabric, which is an agency that combines consultancy, system integration and creative services for digital marketing & sales alignment. We're headquartered in Europe but we also have people in the UK, Asia and US.

Have been working with Wrike for 3 years now but the last year started reworking a new process/way of doing things internally and it's starting to pay off.
Looking forward to learning more from the community and the support teams :)

Hello! I am Kim and my company just introduced our team to Wrike about a year ago. I am located in the US and work in the healthcare industry. 

Hi everyone,  I work for Compass UK.  I've used similar products to this before, and have been user here for a while but trying to upskill myself to help my team to get more out of wrike in the form of charts/reports that will help them manage their workload.

I'm no slouch on giving something a go, but it can be tricky to find the help you need at times, so here I am....!

Nice to see such an active and supportive product community here! I'm relatively new to Wrike, but I've been getting stuck in to it, building my own custom workflows, custom item types and building some of my own automations. I can already see how Wrike can streamline some of our business practices, and I look forward to expanding my knowledge much further. 

Hi James Ball, happy to have you here! 🙂

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate 😎

Hi. I work for a state university in the United States and most of my team, which is relatively small compared to the whole university is new to Wrike but we are starting to scale up our usage as we get more projects in it and take on new work. Our university is fairly decentralized in the sense that departments and areas use whatever PM tool they chose and no tool has a majority of users. We are starting to see interest in Wrike from other areas and our users have adapted to it fairly well so far. Our primary use of it is for marketing and creative project management and I am the point person and main admin for Wrike at our university. We do have two people who used it at their previous institutions, so that has helped, and our creative director has been a great champion. My biggest challenge is getting our main partner in another department to use it and having people follow a consistent process that I have set up using Wrike. I am in the great Pacific Northwest. 

Hi Chris Falgiani, welcome to the Community, and thank you for introducing yourself! I'm glad to hear that you're seeing more interest in Wrike across other departments of your university, as our platform is specifically designed for collaborative work between different teams.

If you have any questions or need help with a use case, please feel free to share them with the Community 👍

I'm the MarCom project manager for a National charity. The organization adopted Wrike when there were just a handful of employees and now, as we keep growing, I am looking for ways to adapt the systems that were put in place to accomodate the new types of projects and larger team (and to continue to scale up). 

Welcome to the Community Tracy Avery 👋 Great to have you! Let us know if you need any help or advice 🙌
