SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 6, 2026--

Wrike, the trusted work delivery platform for people and AI, today announced that it has been named the sole Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Adaptive Project Management and Reporting (APMR). The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

As mentioned in the report, “Visionaries demonstrate decisive plans to invest in product innovation that meets the needs of today’s dynamic work environment and future requirements. The entrants into this quadrant offer advancements such as AI-driven data collection and insight analysis, next-level dynamically linked dashboards informed by machine learning (ML) models, and the potential for significant productivity gains through natural language processing (NLP) interfaces.”

Wrike’s deep understanding of market direction and its commitment to redefining the rules of modern work supports organizations navigating shifting economic conditions and rapid AI integration. When traditional project management frameworks are no longer sufficient, Wrike continues to pioneer the future of work by delivering adaptive solutions that align high-level strategy with daily execution in real time.

In the report, Gartner states: “PMOs and other types of PPM functions need tools to support the nuances of waterfall, adaptive and hybrid ways of working while also balancing inbound demand against finite resources in time, people and budget. To drive organizationwide outcomes, APMR tools need to support adaptive decision making without incurring unnecessary bureaucracy.” 1

“We believe our placement as the quadrant’s only Visionary reflects our strong commitment to execution against our agentic AI-forward roadmap, our bold vision for APMR, and the remarkable outcomes our customers continue to achieve,” said Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike. “Our technology is built to remove friction so teams can drive meaningful transformation through readily accessible capabilities. We are giving enterprises the visibility and agility they need to stop reacting to the market and start shaping it.”

Wrike believes its position as a Visionary reflects a hyperfocus on solving the hardest enterprise challenges: driving true business transformation while ensuring effortless platform usability. Demonstrating this market-defining approach, Wrike recently launched its new Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) solution powered by Shibumi® to eliminate the “fog of business” by creating a live, unified connection between strategic planning and front-line operational execution, all in one platform. Wrike is also applying this same principle at the platform level: through Federated Space Configuration, PMO offices can now easily and consistently govern distinct spaces across different parts of their portfolio, ensuring standard operational guardrails without stifling team agility.

Complementing this strategic alignment, Wrike continues to push usability boundaries with its new Conversational AI Agent Builder. Developed side-by-side with customers, this capability removes technical barriers by enabling any user to build and deploy complex, context-aware automations using simple, natural language.

With enterprise adoption tripling year over year and total agent actions surpassing 5.5 million, Wrike is proving that advanced automation doesn’t require specialized engineering to deliver mass ROI. By delivering sophisticated enterprise governance with an intuitive user experience, Wrike goes beyond simply adapting to market trends to actively setting the standard.

Wrike Named as a Visionary in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Adaptive Project Management and Reporting for the Fourth Consecutive Year

A man charged with starting a wildfire in Spokane, Washington, confessed to the crime, describing how he planned it for weeks and created a device to ignite a blaze that destroyed hundreds of buildings, police said.

Aaron Farinacci researched the weather to predict a day that would have “high winds, low humidity, sort of high heat” for the Old Trails Fire, Spokane County Detective Michael Drapeau said in a court filing Wednesday.

Farinacci also looked up the work of a well-known serial arsonist and purchased items to make a “time delay device” for igniting a wildfire, using notebook paper, matches, a cigarette and a rubber band, the detective said.

Drapeau said Farinacci told him that “fire is powerful, beautiful, and that things that go through fire experience a kind of rebirth.”

Farinacci is charged with starting one of three fires in the Spokane area that have burned more than 850 homes and forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people. He's due in court Thursday for arraignment on a first-degree arson charge. His attorney, Colin Charbonneau, did not not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Farinacci picked Saturday, Aug. 1, to start the fire because he knew there would be strong winds — reaching 50 mph (80 kph), the detective said.

He said he knew it "'was gonna get bad,’” the detective said, but Farinacci claimed he didn’t intend it to grow as much as it did.

Paul Child, 64, has been credited with leading police to Farinacci. He was driving with his grandson along some railroad tracks when he saw a man standing there and looking toward nearby trees. About 10 minutes later, the man was still there.

“He was bent over in the brush, acting nervous,” Child told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “You get the feeling this guy’s up to something.”

“No longer than 10 minutes after I got home, my daughter says, ‘There’s a fire,’” Child recalled. “My first words were, ‘That SOB started a fire!’ It was the exact spot where he was standing.”
