We're able to save a lot of productive time because of the ease of task assignments. However, there are areas that Wrike could improve to make it a far better tool than it is now.

What is most valuable?

Wrike as a task management tool gives a lot of flexibility in creating, updating and managing tasks with such ease in comparison to other tools I have used.

How has it helped my organization?

Wrike allows you to assign and share tasks with colleagues and updates posted into these generate notifications to all that are involved.

Ease of task assignment saves a lot of productive time.

What needs improvement?

At the moment, I have no thoughts about this. However, there are areas that Wrike could improve to make it a far better tool than it is now.

In my experience if you don't organise it well and do some occasional tidying up it gets messy. Then some users find it hard to work with the mess (like some people can't stand a messy desk; others don't mind). Other users find filters or views that provide clarity for them. And others just tidy up (but may spend too much time tidying rather than doing). So I guess you may lose some engagement and some time 'wasted' keeping things tidy/organised.
