Wrike's Gantt view lays every task out on a timeline and lets you link tasks with dependencies, so finishing one task can automatically push a dependent task's dates forward. Milestones mark key dates along the way. We build the piece Wrike's Gantt view doesn't cover on its own: getting a schedule change out to whoever or whatever needs to react to it outside Wrike.
Dragging a task on the timeline reschedules it, and dependent tasks linked to it move along automatically depending on the dependency type you've set. Milestones sit on the timeline as zero-duration markers for dates that matter, a launch, a deadline, a client review, without being tasks themselves.
For planning and rescheduling work that stays entirely inside one Wrike project, this covers the job well. The rescheduling logic is genuinely useful and saves someone from manually pushing out every downstream task by hand.
A dependency slipping reschedules the rest of the Wrike project automatically, but it doesn't notify anyone outside Wrike that it happened, and it doesn't update a separate scheduling or resourcing tool a business might also be running for teams that aren't in Wrike. Someone still has to notice the slip and go tell the people who need to know.
That gap, a schedule change that matters outside the Wrike project itself, is where we usually get pulled in.
When a predecessor task slips past its date, a notification or a new task fires automatically in whatever system the downstream team actually works in, procurement, another PM tool, a shared calendar, instead of waiting for someone to check Wrike and notice.
A business running Wrike for one team and a different PM tool for another gets one real combined timeline, built from both systems' data, instead of two dashboards nobody cross-checks.
If a dependency change in Wrike should trigger something outside it and currently doesn't, tell us what's missing and we'll scope the fix.
Tell us who needs to find out when a Wrike dependency slips and how they currently find out, if at all. We'll work out whether that's a quick notification or a real sync between systems. And if scheduling isn't where your real bottleneck is, tell us what is instead.
Let's talk →Yes, a built-in Gantt view lays every task on a timeline and lets tasks link together through dependencies.
The standard relationships a project team would expect, where finishing or starting one task governs when a linked task can start or finish, which is enough to model real sequencing rather than just a row of dates.
No. Wrike reschedules the rest of the project on its own when a dependency slips, but nothing about that reaches a person or a system outside Wrike unless it's built to, which is custom automation territory.
That's tier-gated and has moved before, so we'd rather send you to wrike.com/pricing for the current answer than guess at which plan includes it today.
