Complex Project With Phases Template
An effective, phased approach to project management. This template breaks complex projects down into manageable phases, allowing you to assign due dates to tasks and track progress on a visual timeline.
Spreadsheets aren't up to the task
Wrike keeps track of every detail and task automatically, providing up-to-the-minute visibility to everyone involved. Deliver updated information and assets to all team members instantaneously with Wrike. Use the Gantt chart view to highlight dependencies and potential roadblocks.
Quality drops as complexity grows
Wrike automates many project functions including work intake, assignment delegation, and more. Using Wrike as the single source of truth for all collaborators and stakeholders helps everyone to perform with greater efficiency and accuracy. Dashboards help assignees manage their tasks, while the Gantt chart gives all visibility into the project as a whole.
Inefficient communication
Centralize all communication within Wrike. Comments and @mentions keep feedback in context and in chronological order. Integration with tools like Gmail and Slack ensure external conversations make their way to Wrike’s single source of truth.
The complex project template includes five folders that organize the different phases of your project. These five phases are initiation, planning, development, testing, and launch.
Yes, it is possible to customize the template for your own team. Rename the sample phases and configure the dashboard so you and your team can organize and track the information that is most important to you.
This complex project template is better than using a spreadsheet because it is more suited to handling assignments with many moving parts. Spreadsheets can also present problems for teams that need detailed and up-to-date information.
Yes! When you’re using Wrike, communication becomes more efficient. Task comments and @mentions make communication more transparent and easy to keep track of.
