Sometimes, using the wrong tools can be costly. Even with a project management tool in hand, if you don't have the right visibility and management set up, a project could fail outright. That's what the team at Procurify was struggling with before they started using Wrike. For a fast-growing startup like Procurify, investing in technology early on was a key to their success. Tools like Jira and Asana had some of the features they needed, but neither provided the full visibility they needed, and as a result deadlines were missed. Since switching to Wrike, the increased visibility into where their teams and projects stand has helped them save 20% of the time they used to waste managing sprints and roadmaps, and 50% of the time previously spent on documentation. We sat down with the Procurify team recently and asked them to elaborate on their Wrike success: Read the Procurify Case Study To read more about how Procurify uses Wrike to track all sprints, check out the full Procurify customer success story.

What we hear time and again from our customers is that they love to learn how other people use Wrike. While we’ve shared hundreds of organizational use cases and customer stories that give you a macro perspective of how Wrike can help your company thrive, we know our customers also want to know the nitty-gritty details of how Wrike will affect their team’s day-to-day workflows. So today we’re introducing a new series called Championing Change, where we get an inside view into the specific ways Wrike impacts people’s daily work. We’ll highlight the features each user relies on to increase productivity, eliminate roadblocks, and create processes that make their work lives easier. Whenever I’m on a Zoom call with a colleague and they offer to share their screen to show something they’re doing in Wrike, I’m fascinated. Watching someone else in action using Wrike is simply the best way to imagine how you can use it to your advantage. Even working at Wrike, we benefit from gathering ideas for new use cases from our colleagues, and we’re excited to share the ways you can too. To kick off the series, we get a peek inside Jennifer Mariotti’s Wrike processes. Jennifer is the Global Head of Creative and Design at Circana, a media company with around 5,000 employees. She did considerable research into work management platforms that would work best for her creative teams. When her team doubled in size, she was able to easily onboard new team members to Wrike — an experience that left her impressed with the platform’s ability to scale when necessary. In her day-to-day work, Jennifer leans hard on Wrike’s dashboards to create seamless workflows with high visibility into her teams’ workloads and progress. And as part of a creative team, she uses Wrike’s in-app proofing tools so she doesn’t have to download files, mark them up, then re-upload to send them on for approvals. We encourage you to read the full infographic to learn more about how Jennifer uses Wrike’s project management tools to help her creative team deliver results.
