[Best Practices] How to make your first project with tasks
#GettingStarted
ย
Hi guys! Artem here, a Customer Success Manager at Wrike! ๐ Hope you're having a fun and productive summer! ๐
ย
So, you've decided to take the plunge and use Wrike as your collaborative project management tool. First of all, great to have you with us! We hope that your journey with Wrike is a fruitful one!
Every journey needs a first step, and that first step with Wrike is to create your first project and populate it with tasks.
ย
How to create a Project:
ย
Creating projects in Wrike couldn't be easier. Once your account has been set up and ready to go, the first thing you'll want to do is create a project. You can do this by clicking on the green button with the white plus sign on the top menu.
ย
ย ย
When you've pressed this button, you will be given the option to create a project or a folder. To find out more about our folder capabilities, make sure to check out the Help Center article about them here.
ย
ย
From here, you can already customize your project before it has even been created. You can set start and due dates, default views and who the project will be shared with. These attributes are all customizable at any time, so you can leave them at default if you want and it won't affect your project!

๐ฅย Hot Tip!ย ๐ฅ
@Mentioning users and groups lets you collaborate on projects and tasks together. You can do this by @mentioning your colleague, or simply type '@followers' or '@assignees' and send them a message. Please note that @mentioning a user in the Comments section also shares the task with the person you've @mentioned. The Comments section is available on tasks and projects to ensure collaborative work.
ย
Next, you'll want to create some tasks within the project. There are two ways that you can make these:
- Clicking the same button you used to create your project.
- Clicking the "new task" option in your project.
Your task, similar to your project, has a high level of customization to help suit your needs. Here you can choose;
ย
- Status.
- Assignees.
- Start and due date.
- Who to share the task with.
- Add the description.
- Add comments and files.
