Milestone Trend Analysis
In evidenzaHi,
I am trying since some time to get a milestone trend analysis in Wrike. So a classical graph in project management where I can see what due date a milestone had at the beginning of a project, what it was in between and what is the actual status.
Does anybody now a way do make such a graph? Any hints?
Best would be a graph and also a data file with the dates I can export.
HI Sven - I'm assuming you are trying to build something in Wrike Analyze? If so, I don't have much experience with that particular example - however, some of what you describe sounds like snapshots in gantt view - where you can activate to see the baselines, and see where the milestones have been adjusted and vary from the baseline over time? (for details here if needed - https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005127001-Creating-Gantt-Chart-Snapshots)
Sherrie Besecker unfortunately a Gantt Snapshot / Baseline is not what I want. I want a milestone trend analysis (a classical project management tool, where I am wondering that it seems no standard implementation in a project and task management tool). It would look like this: MTA2 - Meilensteintrendanalyse – Wikipedia the due date of the milestone plotted over timeline.
Hi Sven, I second what Sherrie is asking. Are you using Wrike Analyze? Wrike Analyze can have a widget created to give you this information.
Kevin Thalacker do you can give me advise how to build in Wrike analyze? I tried to find some help, but could not.
I also asked Wrike support and they told me that historical data is not available for custom fields in analytic. So I did not try as Wrike support said it does not work. If you can give me advise how to realize it it would be great.
Webhooks we will have a look into it now, but that is not a solution as we loose all historical data. If their is really no solution in Wrike (I still can not believe that Wrike does not support such central project management feature) we will have to implement webhooks for the feature and copy data which is available in Wrike to a second server (really something making me shakingmy head in respect to a LEAN and efficient work environment).
Hi Sven Passinger,
I've created something similar but using API and on all tasks.
So I think you can achieve something to make comparations creating 2 custom fields:
- Start Date Beginning
- Due Date Beginning
When you create a new project you need to call API e copy and paste Start and Due Date into Custom Fields (Beginning). So you can use them into Wryke Analyze.
To create trends you need all historical data, you need to put info in a field every time it change or every begin of the month, you need a sort of array or json.
{
date snapshot: project start date
}
{
date snapshot: project due date
}
And create graph out of Analyze because it don't allow us to create line chart with JSON or Array...
Maybe Claudio Mennecozzi can help us...
Pietro Poli thanks for sharing your solution, my concern here is how does on ensure the sanctity of the initial planned start and end dates as the Custom Fields may be accessible to multiple viewers - who also have access to change them. please see discussion in https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360006752073--Status-Backburner-Lock-Custom-Fields
Hi MW -,
you can indicate that these custom fields are visibile only by people that can modify them.
Hi Pietro Poli, agree, it is an option to restrict certain Custom Fields to certain people, but then the availability of the information would be limited. We are looking to have a wider group with viewing rights, but limited people with editing rights [to secure the data better].
