I am happy to announce that this year we bringing more governance experience updates! This time, we are looking to expand capabilities around how you manage, control and communicate your process guardrails to your end-teams.

Question to you 🎤 How do you manage the following needs today and do you see yourself incorporating these improvements into your processes?

1. Required fields (aka "Mandatory custom fields") to collect data on work handoff and streamline reporting. And you heard it here first: I am happy to confirm that this long-awaited update will be available in Labs this quarter already!
2. Required person to change the status. While no confirmation yet, do you see the need in your processes to specify who exactly can change the status (for example: only Managers can complete projects; only people from Design user group can set tasks in Design)
3. Workflow lifecycle visibility and time targets. While no confirmation yet, do you see the need in your processes for:
   1. specifying expected time to transition between one workflow status to another (e.g. between New and In progress it should take 2d).
   2. later report on planned vs. actual status transition time, workflow duration variance (time to complete planned vs. actual) and delays (planed vs. actual variance)
   3. report on outstanding approvals and see approval delays (for how long are decisions overdue)

As always, will be happy to learn how these improvements might land into you processes. Let me know!

We are currently logging our staff holidays in Wrike.

The system is great, apart from one thing  - we are unable to log half days! I understand from your support team that logging half days is not a feature, do you think this can be changed?
