Project tracking metrics

Hi Wrike,

Can you please make some additional task metrics available, particularly in gantt view, such as total slack (for each task), latest start (before becoming critical path), and latest finish?

For detailed project managers, these metrics really help to identify where effort should be placed to keep the whole thing on track. Right now we can visually estimate the slack (the horizontal space between bars on the gantt), but it is not a great way to prioritize. Data driven management is way better.

Thanks!

We have established a custom field "Days till successor" and one "Days till predecessor". It always gives the smallest numbers in this field. We realized this via a Jenkins Server having access via API and updating the numbers regularly.

That gives a good possibility to find the critical path.

Nevertheless I agree such a in Wrike feature would be helpful.

Hi @Robert Slazas 👋 thank you for sharing your feedback regarding Gantt view, and @Sven Passinger, thank you as well for pitching in and sharing a workaround 🙌

@Rohan V Appreciate the response - we would really like to see some more professional level project management features like this in Wrike. For inspiration, check out what the folks at Playbook are doing (https://playbookteam.com/). If Wrike adopted some of those, or they adopted some of your features, it would be a massive winner imo.

@Sven Passinger Looks like you've found a rig to get what you need, and I appreciate the input. However, just so Wrike knows, I don't know what a Jenkins Server is and won't be implementing one just for this metric.
