Wrike does not take ranged estimates into account while creating project schedules. The only way to truly account for risk is by scheduling a project to be due on an earlier date so you’ll receive a warning email when your real deadline is approaching. On the timeline view, tasks will turn red once they’re overdue. Wrike lets you set email notifications to alert you of deadlines. Wrike takes on a more traditional practice of using hard start and end dates to create a project plan. You’ll know well ahead of time if a project is in danger of running over. LiquidPlanner’s scheduling engine works off of ranged estimates based on best case/worst case scenarios. If an issue arises, you can pull a workload report for a deeper look into an individual’s commitments, and see who might be available to take on more work. LiquidPlanner’s resource management capabilities make it impossible to overschedule resources. The scheduling engine takes this into account as tasks get created and assigned, providing start and finish dates based on team members’ current workload and availability. In LiquidPlanner each user has a personal profile where they set their available hours for project work each week. You can also expand the view to see who has availability and reassign work. As long as you’re looking at the schedule in workload view, you’ll see highlights around any resource issues that need attending. It also shows you where the bottlenecks are, or if someone is scheduled for more than eight hours of work per day. Wrike has a workload view that allows you to see what each person is working on. While LiquidPlanner creates a project plan based on resource availability and workload, Wrike allows anyone to be scheduled to a project/task without taking their current commitments into account.

You can change your priorities with a simple drag and drop, and the scheduling engine will automatically update across all projects in your workspace-generating new start and finish dates based on those portfolio-wide resource commitments and the priorities you assign to your workflow items.Īnother key product differentiator is that LiquidPlanner provides you with resource-driven schedules. Then, you prioritize tasks across different projects by putting them in a high priority package, so that they are completed ASAP. For example, within packages, you can create projects and add tasks to those projects. LiquidPlanner uses packages to organize projects and prioritize tasks. You can keep projects in priority order, but moving those priorities around isn’t so easy, and any shifts aren’t reflected in the schedule-i.e., resources, finish dates, etc. Within a folder, projects are used to manage tasks, tasks are organized within the projects, and subtasks are the steps needed to complete a task. For example, folders are used to group projects by team, clients, stage of work, etc. In Wrike, you can organize tasks in priority order but when priorities shift, these changes are not automatically reflected in the schedule. And, every time a priority shifts, the schedule updates automatically to show how the entire plan is affected by that change. One of LiquidPlanner’s key differentiators is our unique priority-based scheduling system that shows you what your top work priorities are every day.
Here, I’m going to give you more reasons we’re different from Wrike in three categories that are important to planning and scheduling projects. There’s more that makes LiquidPlanner unique-and different from Wrike, as well as a lot of other work management tools.Īs a product expert, I’m often asked how our platform stands out from the pack, and how we compare to other tools. In the end, LiquidPlanner beat Wrike for the win. In the project management comparison, Martinez evaluates each product in three categories: Price Features and UI, and Integrations. LiquidPlanner: Project Management Pugilism. “There are few project management (PM) tools that can compete with LiquidPlanner,” PCMag’s Juan Martinez wrote in a recent article, Wrike vs.
