FlexiProject

FlexiProject strengths as a Wrike alternative

Wrike and FlexiProject both cover day-to-day planning and collaboration. FlexiProject adds what happens around the work itself: a structured project start, a linked budget, a risk register, project scoring and recurring reviews. The five modules below show how.

Charter approved by the sponsor

Record the goal, scope, stakeholders, milestones and business case in the project charter. Build separate charter templates for each project category. The sponsor approves the charter before work starts, and approved versions move to an archive. In Wrike, the project charter is not a separate document in the system.

A risk register in every project

Every risk gets a probability, impact, owner and response plan. You link a risk to the schedule task it affects, and set the risk matrix as 3×3, 5×5 or a custom scale. In Wrike, a risk register is a task list template with custom fields. In FlexiProject, you see risks from every project in the portfolio tab.

A budget tied to the schedule

Budget items link to schedule tasks, so moving a task shifts its expense date and cash flow too. One budget holds both costs and revenue, and every change is approved as a new version. Alongside the plan and costs incurred, you see a forecast of the final cost.

Project ideas scored on your own criteria

Set your own evaluation criteria and weights, such as strategy fit, ROI, risk and resource availability. Send the scoring survey to several experts and compare their ratings. Re-score a project during delivery and decide whether to continue, rescope or stop it.

Reviews with a date and a report template

Set review dates in advance. Schedule, budget, risks and milestones flow into a report built on your company template. The steering committee gets every project in the same format and compares them at a glance.

key strengths

What makes this Wrike alternative different

FlexiProject carries a project from a scored idea to a closing summary in one system. A charter opens the project. A schedule with a baseline and a linked budget carry it forward. A built-in risk register, project scoring and recurring reviews complete the picture. Many PMOs pick FlexiProject as a Wrike alternative when they run several projects the same way. It is worth testing this Wrike alternative on your own project data.

FlexiProject compared with Wrike: frequently asked questions

Wrike alternative

Is FlexiProject a good Wrike alternative?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Wrike alternative when a PMO runs many projects under one set of rules. The project charter, risk register, scoring, budget versions and recurring reviews are built-in modules, and together they work as strategic project management software. Every project follows the same path: a scored idea, an approved baseline, and a closing charter at the end.

Is FlexiProject a good Wrike alternative for portfolio management?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Wrike alternative because projects enter the portfolio based on their score. A simulation lets you turn off selected projects and see how the portfolio numbers change. The portfolio budget also carries a reserve and an expected NPV. Schedules, finances and risks from every project come together in project portfolio software.

Can we use FlexiProject alongside Wrike?

Yes. Delivery teams can keep running day-to-day tasks in Wrike. Schedules, budgets, risks and portfolio reviews then run in FlexiProject instead. A discussion about a risk, a budget line or a deliverable is logged against that item in the project communication module. The project chat stays archived together with the project.

Scheduling and planning

Does the FlexiProject schedule include dependencies and a baseline?

Yes. On the Gantt chart you set all four dependency types, with lead and lag. You see the critical path, and once you save a baseline, the variance against it too. Wrike also has dependencies, a critical path and a schedule baseline. FlexiProject adds icons on tasks that flag risks, budget and deliverables. Read more on our Gantt chart tool page.

Can both tools handle a multi-level work breakdown structure?

Yes. You nest the work breakdown structure without a level limit in project schedule software. Every level shows tasks on the Gantt chart, the critical path and assigned people. Wrike also lets you nest folders, projects and subtasks without a limit. In FlexiProject, a separate project products dimension and a budget tied to tasks complete the structure.

How detailed can project planning get in FlexiProject?

As detailed as the project needs. Project planning software ties scope, schedule, resources and budget together. Move one task, and workload and the budget expense date change with it. Every person’s availability includes vacation and their working hours, and an overload triggers a warning. A change to an approved plan goes through a request with a justification.

Budgets, risk and approvals

Does Wrike include project budgets?

Yes. In FlexiProject, costs and revenue sit in one budget, and every item ties to a schedule task. Alongside the plan and costs incurred, you see a forecast of the final cost. Team hours are logged at tasks in time tracking software and compared with the plan.

Does FlexiProject include a risk register?

Yes. A risk register is part of every project. Each risk carries a rating, a response plan and an owner you pick from resource management software. You link a risk to the task it affects, and risks from every project appear in the portfolio. In Wrike, risks are described through custom fields, and an AI report predicts the risk level. In FlexiProject, an administrator sets the risk matrix and risk categories.

How do you approve a project plan in FlexiProject?

You approve the schedule and budget baseline in approval workflow software. A path can include several stages, and you assign the decision maker by their role on the project. Every decision records its author, date and comment. Approved plan versions stay in FlexiProject for comparison, so a year later you can still see how the schedule changed.

Initiation and prioritization

What is a project charter in FlexiProject?

A project charter is the document that opens a project. You record the goal, scope, audience and key dates, and the sponsor approves it before work starts. Milestones, risks and budget figures flow into the charter straight from the project modules. The charter is attached to a template in project template software, so every project type starts from its own pattern.

How does FlexiProject decide which projects to run?

You rate ideas against weighted criteria such as ROI, risk and resource availability. The criteria line up with goals recorded in strategy management software, and the scoring survey goes out to a group of experts. In Wrike, you approximate this with formula fields and request forms, without a built-in scoring model. Different project types can use their own scoring model.

Does FlexiProject describe the products a project must deliver?

Yes. In project products module, every product carries acceptance criteria, an owner and a deadline. In Wrike, project products are not a separate dimension of the plan. You link a product to the tasks that deliver it, so scope is expressed as results.

Portfolio, programs and reviews

How do you run a program of related projects in FlexiProject?

Program management software links the schedules of several projects into one shared plan. Dependencies tie tasks from different projects, so moving one date shifts the rest. The same project can belong to several programs at once. In Wrike, several projects appear on a shared Gantt chart, and dependencies between projects work only in a limited way. In FlexiProject, you check the effect of a shift in a simulation before you change any dates.

Does FlexiProject support recurring project reviews with a report template?

Yes. The PMO sets a review date for each portfolio. Data from the schedule, budget and risk register flows into reporting software built on your company template. Wrike offers report templates and recurring tasks, without a dedicated review cycle. Past reviews stay in the FlexiProject archive together with leadership decisions.

Deployment, training and security

How much training does the team need after moving from Wrike?

Delivery staff mostly work in a task list, a Gantt chart and Kanban board software, views already familiar from Wrike. The project charter, budget, scoring and reviews are used mainly by project managers and the PMO. In-app help links to the matching user guide section from the screen you are working on. The interface runs in 28 languages, and each user picks their own.

Can FlexiProject run on our own servers?

Yes. For companies that must keep data in house, FlexiProject is a Wrike alternative on your own servers, with no loss of features. Project data and your knowledge base software then stay inside your own infrastructure. Wrike runs only in its vendor cloud, with a data center in the US or the EU to choose from. In the cloud version, FlexiProject stores data inside the European Economic Area.
